Synchronizing the rolling code
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 364).
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronize the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this you
will need to use the programing button on the
door drive control panel. The programing
button may be placed at different locations
depending on the manufacturer. It is usually
located on the door drive unit on the garage
ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door
drive operating instructions, e.g. under
"Programing of additional remote controls",
before carrying out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the
garage door or exterior gate drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.

Notes on programing the remote control

"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals after broadcasting for a few seconds.
Therefore, these signals may not last long

opener. The signal is not recognized during
programing. Comparable with Canadian law,
some U.S. garage door openers also feature
a "break".

If you are experiencing problems programing
the integrated garage door opener on the
rear-view mirror, take note of the following
instructions:
R
Check the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive remote control Aand
whether it is supported. The transmitter
frequency can usually be found on the back
of the garage door drive remote control.
The integrated garage door opener is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280 to 433 MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control A. This increases the
likelihood that garage door remote control
A will transmit a strong and precise signal
to the integrated garage door opener in the
rear-view mirror.
R When programing, hold remote control A
at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programing. Try various
angles at a distance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
R If another remote control for the same
garage door drive is available, repeat the
same programing steps with this remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
installed in garage door drive remote
control A.
R Note that some remote controls only
transmit for a limited amount of time (the
indicator lamp on the remote control goes
out). Press button Bon remote control
A again before transmission ends.
R Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission. 366
