Note:
The exterior mirrors have electrically heated glass. The
heater switches on automatically, depending on outside
temperature.
If an exterior mirror housing is forcibly pivoted from its
normal position, it must be repositioned by applying
firm pressure until it snaps into place.
The automatic antiglare function will not react for
example, if the rear window sun shade is in raised
position.Important!
Electrolyte drops coming into contact with the vehicle
paint finish can only be completely removed while in
their liquid state, by applying plenty of water.
Storing mirror positions in memory
The exterior rear view mirror positions are stored in
memory with the seat / head restraint / steering column
positions and can be recalled when necessary, see
page 45.

The passenger-side exterior mirror can be adjusted and
programmed to assist the driver during parking
maneuvers (e.g. to observe the curb or other objects
close to the vehicle).
With electronic key in steering lock position 2, and the
exterior rear view mirror switch in the passenger side
position, the passenger side mirror will be turned
downward when placing the gear selector lever in
“R” Reverse.
The mirror position can now be adjusted as desired.
The passenger side mirror will return to its previous
position:
•immediately at speeds above approximately 6 mph
(10 km / h) - independent of the engaged gear,
•after 20 seconds when shifting gear selector lever
from “R” Reverse,
•by pressing the driver’s side mirror button %.One passenger-side mirror position can be stored in
memory. To do so:
1. Turn electronic key to steering lock position 2.
The vehicle must be stationary.
2. Select passenger-side mirror and adjust the mirror
to view the curb.
3. Press green memory button located in switch cluster
for driver seat, see page 45.
4. Within 2 seconds pull the mirror toggle switch
rearward. The mirror should not move.
Repeat the memory procedure if the mirror moves.

cluster displayPractical hints Car care Index Programming or reprogramming the integrated
remote control:
1. Turn electronic key in steering lock to position 1
or 2.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter of the
device you wish to train approximately 2 to 5 inches
(5 cm to 12 cm) away from the surface of the
integrated remote control located on the inside rear
view mirror, keeping the indicator lamp in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the hand-
held transmitter button and the desired integrated
remote control button. Do not release the buttons
until completing step 4.4. The indicator lamp on the integrated remote control
will flash, first slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator lamp flashes rapidly, both buttons may be
released (the rapid flashing lamp indicates
successful programming of the new frequency
signal). To program the remaining two buttons,
follow steps 1 through 4.
Note:
If, after several attempts, you do not successfully
program the integrated remote control device to learn
the signal of the hand-held transmitter, the garage door
opener could be equipped with the “rolling code
feature”.

Initially, after turning the electronic key in steering lock
to position 2, malfunctions are detected and indicated
(the indicator lamps in the SOS button, the Roadside
Assistance button• and the Information
button¡ stay on longer than 10 seconds or do not
come on). The message “TELE AID – VISIT
WORKSHOP” appears for approx. 10 seconds in the
multifunction display. Emergency calls
An emergency call is initiated automatically:
•following an accident in which the Emergency
Tensioning Devices (ETDs) or airbags deploy,
•if the antitheft alarm or the tow away alarm stays on
for more than 20 seconds, see pages 39 and 41.
An emergency call can also be initiated manually by
opening the cover next to the inside rear view mirror
labeled SOS, then briefly pressing the button located
under the cover. See below for instructions on initiating
an emergency call manually.
Once the emergency call is in progress, the indicator
lamp in the SOS button will begin to flash. The message
“EMERGENCY CALL – CONNECTING CALL” appears in
the multifunction display. When the connection is
established, the message “EMERGENCY CALL – CALL
CONNECTED” appears in the multifunction display. All
information relevant to the emergency, such as the
location of the vehicle (determined by the GPS satellite
location system), vehicle model, identification number
and color are generated.
A voice connection between the Response Center and
the occupants of the vehicle will be established
automatically soon after the emergency call has been
Wa r n i n g !
If the indicator lamps in the SOS button, in the
Roadside Assistance button and/or in the
Information button do not come on during the
system self-check or if any of these indicators
remain illuminated constantly in red and/or the
message "TELE AID - VISIT WORKSHOP!" is
displayed in the multifunction display after the
system self-check, a malfunction in the system has
been detected.If a malfunction is indicated as outlined above, the
system may not operate as expected. Have the
system checked at the nearest Mercedes-Benz
Center as soon as possible.
