Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Manual SUNBLIND Initialization Routine
Where a sunblind module has been replaced, there is an initialization routine available on the diagnostic tool. This requires a new module to be initially installed in the fully down position and running of the "Initialize Specified Function/Feature" diagnostic routine on the manufacturer approved diagnostic tool. Alternatively, the sunblind may be initialized manually by following the procedures described below:
- Raise the sunblind to top (fully retracted) position
- Press and hold the window 'down' switch for 15 seconds (the sunblind will go down and will then be in initialization mode)
- Release window switch and press window 'down' switch again to drive blind fully into lower block
- Activate window switch 'up' until the sunblind reaches the top (fully retracted) position and release switch
- The sunblind is now initialized and should have 'one-touch' functionality
