rearview mirror. The required distance de‐
pends on the manual transmitter.


  1. Simultaneously press and hold the button of
    the desired function on the hand-held trans‐
    mitter and the button to be programmed on
    the interior rearview mirror. The LED on the
    interior rearview mirror will begin flashing
    slowly.

  2. Release both buttons as soon as the LED
    flashes more rapidly. When the LED is flash‐
    ing faster, this indicates that the button on
    the interior rearview mirror has been pro‐
    grammed.
    If the LED does not flash faster after at least
    60 seconds, change the distance between
    the interior rearview mirror and the hand-
    held transmitter and repeat the step. Several
    more attempts at different distances may be
    necessary. Wait at least 15 seconds be‐
    tween attempts.
    Canada: if programming with the hand-held
    transmitter was interrupted, hold down the
    interior rearview mirror button and repeat‐
    edly press and release the hand-held trans‐
    mitter button for 2 seconds.

  3. To program other functions on other but‐
    tons, repeat steps 3 to 5.


The systems can be controlled using the interior
rearview mirror buttons.


Special feature of the alternating-code

wireless system

If you are unable to operate the system after re‐
peated programming, please check if the sys‐
tem to be controlled features an alternating-
code system.


Read the system's operating manual, or press
the programmed button on the interior rearview
mirror longer. If the LED on the interior rearview
mirror starts flashing rapidly and then stays lit
constantly for 2 seconds, the system features
an alternating-code system. Flashing and con‐
tinuous illumination of the LED will repeat for
approximately 20 seconds.


For systems with an alternating-code system,
the integrated universal remote control and the
system also have to be synchronized.
Please read the operating manual of the system
being set up for information on how to syn‐
chronize the system.
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a second
person.
To synchronize:


  1. Park the vehicle within range of the remote-
    controlled system.

  2. Program the relevant button on the interior
    rearview mirror as described.

  3. Locate and press the synchronizing button
    on the system being programmed. You have
    approx. 30 seconds for the next step.

  4. Hold down the programmed button on the
    interior rearview mirror for approximately
    3 seconds and then release it. If necessary,
    repeat this work step up to three times in or‐
    der to finish synchronization. Once synchro‐
    nization is complete, the programmed func‐
    tion will be carried out.

    transmitter for the system to be controlled
    approx. 1 to 3 in/2.5 to 8 cm away from the
    buttons on the interior rearview mirror. The
    required distance depends on the manual
    transmitter.

  4. Likewise, press and hold the button of the
    desired function on the hand-held transmit‐
    ter.

  5. Release both buttons as soon as the interior
    rearview mirror LED flashes more rapidly.
    When the LED is flashing faster, this indi‐
    cates that the button on the interior rearview
    mirror has been programmed. The system
