Controls on the interior rearview  
mirror  
The concept  
The integrated universal remote control can  
operate up to 3 functions of remote-controlled  
systems such as garage door drives or lighting  
systems. The integrated universal remote con‐  
trol replaces up to 3 different hand-held trans‐  
mitters. To operate the remote control, the  
buttons on the interior rearview mirror must be  
programmed with the desired functions. The  
hand-held transmitter for the particular system  
is required in order to program the remote con‐  
trol.

During programming and before activat‐  
ing a device using the integrated universal re‐  
mote control, ensure that there are no people,  
animals, or objects in the range of movement  
of the remote-controlled device; otherwise,  
there is a risk of injury or damage.  
The hand-held transmitter, arrow 3, is re‐  
quired for programming.

view 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 continuous illumination of the LED will re‐  
peat for approximately 20 seconds.  
3. Hold the hand-held transmitter for the sys‐  
tem 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 de‐  
pends on the manual transmitter.  
For systems with an alternating-code system,  
the integrated universal remote control and the  
system also have to be synchronized.  
4. Simultaneously press and hold the button  
of the desired function on the hand-held  
transmitter and the button to be program‐  
med on the interior rearview mirror. The  
LED on the interior rearview mirror will be‐  
gin flashing slowly.  
Please read the operating manual of the sys‐  
tem being set up for information on how to  
synchronize the system.  
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a sec‐  
ond person.  
5. Release both buttons as soon as the LED  
flashes more rapidly. When the LED is  
flashing faster, this indicates that the but‐  
ton on the interior rearview mirror has been  
programmed.  
To synchronize:  
1. Park the vehicle within range of the re‐  
mote-controlled system.  
2. Program the relevant button on the interior  
rearview mirror as described.  
If the LED does not flash faster after at  
least 60 seconds, change the distance be‐  
tween the interior rearview mirror and the  
hand-held transmitter and repeat the step.  
Several more attempts at different distan‐  
ces may be necessary. Wait at least  
15 seconds between attempts.  
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  
order to finish synchronization. Once syn‐  
chronization is complete, the programmed  
function will be carried out.  
Canada: if programming with the hand-  
held transmitter was interrupted, hold  
down the interior rearview mirror button  
and repeatedly press and release the  
hand-held transmitter button for 2 sec‐  
onds.  
Reprogramming individual buttons

tons, repeat steps 3 to 5.  
The systems can be controlled using the inte‐  
rior rearview mirror buttons.  
2. Press and hold the interior rearview mirror  
button to be programmed.  
3. As soon as the interior rearview mirror LED  
starts flashing slowly, hold the hand-held  
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.

Hints  
Danger of pinching  
Before folding down the rear seat back‐  
rests, ensure that the area of movement of the  
backrests is clear. In particular, ensure that no  
one is located in the area of movement and  
that no one reaches into the area of movement  
of the rear seat backrests when the middle  
section is folded down. Otherwise, injury or  
damage may result.◀
