Simplified programming

The memorizing of a transmitter should always be carried out with the:
- anti-theft device switched off by the remote cotnrol (LED off)
- ignition switch in the OFF position
- emergency key in the control unit in the ON position.

Simplified programming can only be used when the memory is not yet closed (see chapter on "protected programming").

With this system of programming all the remote control codes, without a limit on quantities, are "recognized", but only the last 4 remain memorized by the anti-theft system in the following way:

  1. press the button (6) on the courtesy light (receiver) and keep it pressed; the LED (5) should come on flashing;
  2. with the remote control (transmitter) at least 20 cm from the courtesy light, press the remote control switch (4) until the LED (1) flashes for a maximum of twice. Then release the switch (4);
  3. Check that the LED (5) in the courtesy light comes on constantly;
  4. Then release the button (6) in the courtesy light at the end of the simplified programming cycle.
