dehumidifies the incoming air
before reheating it as required,
according to the temperature setting.
The cooling function helps to prevent conden‐
sation on the windows or to remove it quickly.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
To cool the air faster and more intensively
when external temperatures are high, switch
on the recirculated air mode.
Recirculated air mode If the air outside the car has an
unpleasant odor or contains pol‐
lutants, shut off the supply to the
interior of the car temporarily.
The system then recirculates the
air currently within the vehicle.
Should the windows fog up in the recirculated-
air mode, press the AUTO button or switch off
the recirculated-air mode and increase the air
volume if necessary. Make sure that air can
flow to the windshield.
Recirculated air mode is automatically deacti‐
vated at low external temperatures.

Universal garage door
opener
The concept
The universal garage door opener can be used
to operate up to 3 functions in remote-control‐
led systems, such as garage door drives or
lighting systems. The universal garage door
opener replaces up to 3 different hand-held
transmitters. To operate it, the buttons on the
interior rearview mirror must be programmed
for the desired functions. The hand-held trans‐
mitter for the system is needed for the pro‐
gramming procedure.
WARNING
Body parts can be jammed when operat‐
ing remote-controlled systems, e.g. the garage
door, using the universal garage door opener.
There is risk of injuries or risk of property dam‐
age. Make sure that the area of movement of
the respective system is clear during program‐
ming and operation. Also follow the safety in‐
structions of the hand-held transmitter. ◀
Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored
functions for security reasons.Compatibility
If this symbol is printed on the packag‐
ing or in the operating instructions of
the system being operated, the system
is generally compatible with the universal ga‐
rage door opener.

quired distance depends on the particular
hand-held transmitter.4.Press the button of the desired function on
the hand-held transmitter and the button
being programmed on the interior rearview
mirror simultaneously and hold. The LED on
the interior rearview mirror flashes slowly at
first.5.When the LED flashes more rapidly, release
both buttons. Rapid flashing indicates that
the button on the interior rearview mirror
has been programmed.
If the LED does not flash faster after 60 sec‐
onds, change the distance between the in‐
terior rearview mirror and the hand-held
transmitter and repeat the step. Multiple
trials at different distances may be neces‐
sary. Wait at least 15 seconds between tri‐
als.6.To program additional functions on other
buttons, repeat steps 3 to 5.
The systems can be operated with the buttons
on the interior rearview mirror.
Special characteristics of alternating-
code radio systems
If the system cannot be operated after re‐
peated programming, check whether the sys‐
tem to be operated uses an alternating-code
system.
Read the operating instructions of the system
or press and hold the programmed button on
the interior rearview mirror. If the LED on the
interior rearview mirror flashes rapidly at first
and then lights up continuously for 2 seconds,
the system is equipped with an alternating-
code system. This flashing LED pattern repeats
itself for approx. 20 seconds.
In systems with an alternating-code system, the
universal garage door opener and the system
must be additionally synchronized.
Please obtain additional information on syn‐
chronization in the operating instructions of the
system being set up.
The systems will be easier to synchronize with
the aid of a second person.
Synchronization:1.Park the vehicle within range of the re‐
mote-controlled system.2.Program the corresponding button on the
interior rearview mirror as described.3.Identify and press the synchronization but‐
ton on the system being set up. You have
approx. 30 seconds for the next step.4.Press and hold the button on the interior
rearview mirror for approx. 3 seconds and
then release it. Repeat this step up to three
times if necessary to complete the synchro‐
nization procedure. When synchronization
is completed, the programmed function is
executed.
Reprogramming individual buttons
1.Switch on the ignition.2.Hold the hand-held transmitter at a dis‐
tance of approx. 1 to 3 in/2.5 to 8 cm from
the memory buttons.
