Safety information  
Vehicle features and options  
This chapter describes all standard, country-  
specific and optional features offered with  
the series. It also describes features and  
functions that are not necessarily available  
in your vehicle, e.g., due to the selected op-  
tions or country versions. This also applies  
to safety-related functions and systems.  
When using these functions and systems,  
the applicable laws and regulations must be  
observed.  
Warning  
The operation of remote-controlled sys-  
tems with the integrated universal remote  
control, such as the garage door, may re-  
sult in injury, for example, body parts be-  
coming jammed in a garage door. There is  
a risk of injury or risk of damage to prop-  
erty. Make sure that the area of movement  
of the respective system is clear during  
programming and operation. Also follow  
the safety information of the hand-held  
transmitter.  
Integrated Universal Remote  
Control  
Compatibility  
If this symbol is printed on the pack-  
aging or in the owner's manual of the  
system to be controlled, the system  
is generally compatible with the integrated  
Universal Remote Control.  
Concept  
The integrated Universal Remote Control in  
the interior mirror can operate up to 3 func-  
tions of remote-controlled systems such as  
garage door drives, barriers, or lighting sys-  
tems.  
Additional questions are answered by:  
A dealer's service center or another  
qualified service center or repair shop.  
General information  
The Integrated Universal Remote Control  
replaces up to 3 different hand-held trans-  
mitters. To operate the remote control, the  
buttons on the interior mirror must be pro-  
grammed with the desired functions. The  
hand-held transmitter for the particular sys-  
tem is required in order to program the re-  
mote control.

tex Corporation.  
Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored  
functions for the sake of security.  
If possible, do not install the antenna of the  
remote-controlled system, e.g. the garage  
door drive, near metal objects to ensure the  
best possible operation.

General information  
LED does not flash green after  
60 seconds: programming not com-

The battery of the hand-held transmitter  
must be fully charged at the time of pro-  
gramming to ensure an optimal range of the  
integrated universal remote control.  
Repeat steps 3 to 6.  
To program other functions on other but-  
tons, repeat steps 3 to 5.  
1. Switch on the ignition.  
2. Initial setup:  
Special feature of the rolling code  
wireless system  
If you are unable to operate the system af-  
ter repeated programming, please check if  
the system to be controlled features a roll-  
ing code radio system.  
Press and hold the two outer buttons on  
the interior mirror simultaneously for  
approximately 10 seconds until the LED  
flashes green rapidly. This erases all pro-  
gramming of the buttons on the interior  
mirror.  
Refer to the owner's manual for the system.  
3. Press the interior mirror button to be  
programmed. The LED on the interior  
mirror will slowly begin flashing orange.  
For systems with a rolling code radio sys-  
tem, the integrated Universal Remote Con-  
trol and the system also have to be  
synchronized.  
4. Hold the hand-held transmitter for the  
system to be used approx. 1 to 12 in/2.5  
to 30 cm away from the buttons on the  
interior mirror. The required distance  
depends on the hand-held transmitter.  
Please read the owner's manual to find out  
how to synchronize the system.  
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a  
second person.

1. Park the vehicle within range of the re-  
mote-controlled system.  
Press the button on the interior mir-  
ror for 2 seconds and release. Per-  
form this procedure three times to  
complete the programming proce-  
dure.  
2. Program the relevant button on the inte-  
rior mirror as described.  
3. Locate and press the synchronizing but-  
ton on the system being programmed,  
e.g. at the garage gate. You have approx.  
30 seconds for the next step.  
If the integrated universal remote  
control remains nonoperational, con-  
tinue with the special features for  
change code wireless systems.  
4. Hold down the programmed button on  
the interior mirror for approximately  
3 seconds and then release it. If neces-  
sary, repeat this step up to three times  
in order to finish synchronization. Once  
synchronization is complete, the pro-  
grammed function will be carried out.  
LED does not flash green after  
60 seconds: programming not com-
