Garage door remote control
A is not part of
this integrated garage door opener.
i To achieve the best result, insert new
batteries in garage door remote control
A before programming.
X Before programming for the first time, clear
the memory of the integrated garage door
opener (Y page 453).
X Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
X Press and hold one of transmitter
buttons ; to ? on the integrated garage
door opener.
Indicator lamp : starts to flash yellow
after a short period.
i Indicator lamp : flashes yellow
immediately after the transmitter button
has been stored for the first time. If the
transmitter button has already been
programmed, indicator lamp : does not
flash
yellow until 10 seconds have elapsed.
X Release the transmitter button.
X Point transmitter button B
of garage door
remote control A towards the transmitter
buttons on the rear-view mirror at a
distance of 2 to 8 inches (5 to 20 cm).

position for at least 25 seconds before
trying another position.
X Press and hold transmitter button B on
garage door remote control A until
indicator lamp : lights up green.
Programming is complete if indicator
lamp : lights up or flashes green.
X Release transmitter button ;, = or ? on
the integrated garage door opener and the
transmitter button on garage door remote
control B.
If indicator lamp : lights up red:
X Repeat the programming procedure for the
transmitter

button. When doing so, vary the
distance between the garage door remote
control and the rear-view mirror.
i If the indicator lamp flashes green after
successful programming, the garage door
system

is operating on a rolling code. After
programming, you must synchronize the
garage door opener integrated in the rear-
view mirror with the receiver of the garage
door system.
Synchronizing the rolling code
Your vehicle must be within range of the
garage or gate opener drive. Make sure that
neither your vehicle nor any persons/objects
are present within the sweep of the door or
gate.
Observe the safety notes when performing
the rolling code synchronization.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
X Press the programming button of the door
or gate drive (see the door or gate drive
operating instructions, e.g. under
"Programming of additional remote
controls").
i You now normally have 30 seconds to
initiate the next step.
X Press the previously programmed
transmitter button of the HomeLink ®integrated garage door opener repeatedly
in succession until the door opens.
The rolling code synchronization is then
complete.
Notes on programming the remote
control
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals

after broadcasting for a few seconds.
These signals may not therefore last long
enough for the integrated garage door opener
to recognize the signal during programming.
Comparable with Canadian law, some U.S.
garage door openers also have a built-in
"interruption".
If you live in Canada or have difficulties
programming the garage door opener
(regardless of where you live) when using the
programming steps (see above), proceed as
follows:
X Press and hold one of transmitter
buttons ; to ? of the integrated garage
door opener.
Indicator lamp : starts to flash yellow
after a short period.
X Release the transmitter button.
X Press transmitter button B of the garage
door remote control and hold for two
seconds, then release for two seconds,
then

press again and hold for two seconds.
X Repeat this sequence on transmitter
button B of the garage door remote
control until indicator lamp : is green.
Repeat the process if indicator lamp :
turns red.
X Continue with the other programming
steps (see above).
