If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid.
! There is
arisk of damage to the vehicle if:
R the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on ahigh
curb or an unpave droad
R you drive too fast over an obstacle ,e.g. a
curb or ahole in the road
R ah eavy object strikes the undercarriage
or parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body,t he under-
carriage, chassis parts, wheels or tires
could be damaged withou tthe damage
being visible. Components damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of
an accident, no longer withstand the strain
they are designed to.
If the underbody paneling is damaged,
combustible materials such as leaves,
grass or twigs can gather betwee nthe
underbody and the underbody paneling. If
these materials come in contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system, they can catch fire.
In such situations, have the vehicle
checked and repaired immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop. If on con-
tinuing yourj ourney you notice that driving
safety is impaired, pullo ver and stop the
vehicle immediately,p aying attention to
road and traffic conditions. In such cases,
visit aqualified specialist workshop. Declarations of conformity

Notes on programing the remote control
Canadian radio frequency lawsr equire a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals after broadcasting for afew seconds.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated garage door
opener. The signal is not recognized during
programing. Comparable with Canadian law,
some U.S. garage door openers also feature a
"break".
Proceed as follows:
R if you live in Canada
R if you have difficulties programing the
garage door opener (regardless of where
you live) when using the programing steps
X Press and hold one of buttons 0044to0085 on
the integrated garage door opener.

process.
X Continue with the other programing steps
(see above). Problems when programing
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 of garage
door drive remote control 0083.This can usu-
ally be found on the back of the remote
control.
The integrated garage door opener is com-
patible 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 0083.This increases the like-
lihood that garage door remote control 0083
will transmit astrong and precise signal to
the integrated garage door opener in the
rear-view mirror.
R When programing, hold remote control 0083
at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programing. Try various angles at adistance 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,r epeat 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 0083.
R Note that some remote controls only trans-
mit for alimited amount of time (the indi-
cator lamp on the remote control goes out). Press button 0084on remote control 0083again
before transmission ends.
R Align the antennac able of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep- tion/transmission.
Opening/closing the garage door Once programed, the integrated garage door
opener 0083will assume the function of the
garage door system's remote control. Please Features
