The concept
The integrated universal remote control
can replace as many as three hand-
held transmitters for various remote-
controlled accessories, such as door
openers and house alarm systems. The
integrated universal remote control rec-
ognizes and learns the transmitted sig-
nal of each of the original hand-held
transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held
transmitter can be programmed on one
of the three memory buttons 1. Follow-
ing that, each of the devices can be
actuated with the appropriately-pro-
grammed memory button 1. The indica-
tor lamp 2 flashes to confirm transmis-
sion of the signal.
If the vehicle is sold, the memory but-
tons 1 should be cleared as described
on page
112 .
To prevent possible damage or
injury, before programming or
using the integrated universal remote
control, always inspect the immediate
area to make certain that no people,
animals or objects are within the travel
range of the device. Also, comply with
the safety precautions of the original
hand-held transmitter.

To Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after two seconds, which
may not be long enough to program the
integrated universal remote control. If
you are programming from one of these
handheld transmitters, the integrated
universal remote control's light may
begin to flash in a series of double-
flashes. If this occurs, continue to hold
the button of the integrated universal
remote control while you reactivate
your hand-held transmitter. You may
have to repeat this function several
times while programming.

Checking the compatibility
If you see this symbol on the
packaging or in the manual sup-
plied with the original hand-held
transmitter, it is safe to assume that it is
compatible with the integrated univer-
sal remote control.

ters is available via fax polling at +49
