BEFORE PROGRAMMING

Caution: When programming a garage
door opener or entry gate that may
require you to press and re-press the
hand-held transmitter (cycle), unplug
the device during the cycling process
to prevent possible motor failure.

It is recommended that for best results, fit
a new battery to the hand-held transmitter
of the garage door opener (or other
device) before programming. If your
garage door opener receiver (located in
the garage) is equipped with an antenna,
ensure that the antenna is hanging
straight down.

TO ERASE ALL
PROGRAMMING

For first time programming, ensure that
the engine is switched off:

1. Turn the ignition switch to position I.

2. Press and hold the two outer buttons

on the garage door opener in the
overhead console. Keep the buttons
pressed, the indicator light will
illuminate. The indicator light is part of
the middle button in the garage door
opener in the overhead console.

3. Release the buttons when the lights

begin to flash (this will take
approximately 20 seconds).

All memories in the garage door opener
have now been cleared.

Note: Do not perform this procedure
when programming the additional garage
door opener buttons.

PROGRAMMING THE VEHICLE

Ensuring that the engine is switched off:

1. Turn the ignition switch to position I.

2. Hold the end of the original garage

door opener hand-held transmitter
approximately 50 mm to 150 mm (2 to
6 inches) away from the transceiver in
the overhead console, keeping the
indicator light in view.

3. Using both hands, simultaneously

press and hold both the desired
garage door opener button on the
overhead console and the hand-held
transmitter button. Keep both buttons
pressed. The light will flash, slowly at
first and then change to a fast flash.
When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, release both buttons. The
rapid flashing light indicates
successful programming.

4. If, after 60 seconds, the indicator light

does not flash rapidly, release both
the transceiver and the hand-held
transmitter buttons and repeat the
procedure starting with Step 2.
However, position the hand-held

distance.

5. Press and hold the programmed

overhead console garage door opener
button and observe the indicator light:

• If the indicator light is solid/

continuous, programming is
complete. Your device should
activate when the garage door opener
button is pressed and held for one to
two seconds and then released.

• If the indicator light blinks rapidly for

two seconds and then turns a
solid/continuous light, proceed with
the following programming
instructions for rolling code device
equipment.

Note: To programme additional garage
door opener buttons, begin at Step 2.

Reprogramming a single garage door
opener button

To programme a device to a previously
trained button:

1. Press and hold the desired

pre-programmed garage door opener
button for at least 20 seconds, but no
longer than 30 seconds, until the
indicator light begins to flash.

2. Without releasing the overhead

console button, position the
hand-held transmitter approximately
50 mm to 150 mm (2 to 6 inches) away
from the transceiver in the overhead
console, keeping the indicator light in
view.

3. Carry out Step 3 of programming the

vehicle, see page 61.

Entry gate/Canadian programming

The technology of some entry gates

Before Driving

SEAT BELTS

!

WARNING:

Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front of
the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable; wearing the
lap section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.

!

WARNING:

Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly
as possible, consistent with comfort, to
provide the protection for which they
have been designed. A slack belt will
greatly reduce the protection afforded
to the wearer.

!

WARNING:

Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild soap
and water.

!

WARNING:

The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged.

!

WARNING:

It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.

!

WARNING:

Belts should not be worn with the
straps twisted.

!

WARNING:

Do not carry hard, fragile, or sharp
items between your person and the
seat belt. In an impact the pressure
from the seat belt on such items can
cause them to break, which in turn may
cause death or serious injuries.

!

WARNING:

Each belt assembly must only be used
by one occupant; it is dangerous to put
a belt around a child being carried on
the occupant's lap.

!

WARNING:

The occupants of the front seats
should not travel with the seat back at
more than 30 degrees from upright.
Doing so will reduce the protection
afforded by the seat belt.

Seat belt safety

The use of front and rear seat belts is
mandatory in most countries. Using seat
belts saves lives. They should be worn by
all occupants, whenever the vehicle is in
use, for maximum protection.

Lap/shoulder inertia reel seat belts are
provided for both front occupants and
three rear seat positions.
