COMPLAINT

Integrated garage door opener on the interior rearview mirror or overhead control panel unable to accept coding from a hand-held garage door transmitter.

CAUSE

Integrated garage door opener being preprogrammed.

REMEDY

You can determine if the system has been preprogrammed by pressing a signal transmitter button. The indicator lamp will illuminate but will not flash. To resolve, please refer the customer to the instructions noted in the Operator's Manual on erasing the integrated remote control memory.

NOTE: The enclosed procedure cannot be claimed under Warranty.

Instructions on Resetting the Integrated Remote Control Memory

Switch on the ignition.
Simultaneously press and hold down the outer signal transmitter buttons (Fig 1 or Fig 2, 2 and 4) for approximately 20 seconds until the indicator lamp (Fig 1 or Fig 2, 1) flashes rapidly. Do not hold for longer than 30 seconds.
The codes of all three channels are erased.
Program integrated garage door opener as per the instructions outlined in the Operator's Manual.

WARNING: Before programming the integrated remote control to a garage door opener or gate operator, make sure people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent potential harm or damage. When programming a garage door opener, the door moves up or down. When programming a gate operator, the gate opens or closes. Do not use the integrated remote control with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object - signaling the door to stop and reverse - does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. When programming a garage door opener, park the vehicle outside the garage. Do not run the engine while programming the integrated remote control. Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause unconsciousness and possible death.
