2004 MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS COUPE remote control

216 Controls in detailUseful featuresProgramming or reprogramming the in-
tegrated remote control
Step 1:
Switch on ignition.
Step 2:

If you have previously programmed an
integrated signal transmitter button
and wish to retain its programming,
proceed to step 3. Otherwise, press
and hold the two outer signal transmit-
ter buttons 2 and 4 and release
them only when the indicator light be-
gins to flash after approximately
20 seconds (do not hold the button for
longer than 30 seconds). This proce-
dure erases any previous settings for
all three channels and initializes the
memory. If you later wish to program a
second and/or third hand-held trans-
mitter to the remaining two signal
transmitter buttons, do not repeat this
step and begin directly with step 3. Step 3:

Hold the end of the hand-held remote
control transmitter
6 of the device
you wish to train approximately 2 to
5 in (5 to12 cm) away from the surface
of the integrated remote control locat-
ed on the interior rear view mirror,
keeping the indicator lamp 1 in view.
Step 4:

Using both hands, simultaneously
press the hand-held transmitter
button 5 and the desired integrated
signal transmitter button ( 2, 3
or 4 ). Do not release the buttons until
completing step 5.
The indicator lamp 1 on the integrat-
ed remote control will flash, first slowly
and then rapidly. Step 5:

When the indicator lamp
1 flashes
rapidly, release both buttons.
Step 6:

Press and hold the just-trained inte-
grated signal transmitter button and
observe the indicator lamp 1.
If the indicator lamp 1 stays on con-
stantly, programming is complete and
your device should activate when the
integrated signal transmitter button is
pressed and released.iThe indicator lamp 1 flashes the first
time the signal transmitter button is
programmed. If this button has already
been programmed, the indicator lamp
will only start flashing after
20 seconds.

218 Controls in detailUseful featuresStep 12:
Confirm the garage door operation by
pressing the programmed integrated
signal transmitter button (2, 3
or 4 ).
Step 13:

To program the remaining two buttons,
repeat the steps above starting with
step 3. Gate operator/Canadian programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission
which may not be long enough for the inte-
grated signal transmitter to pick up the sig-
nal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators
are designed to “time-out” in the same
manner.
If you live in Canada or if you are having dif-
ficulties programming a gate operator (re-
gardless of where you live) by using the
programming procedures, replace step 4
with the following: Step 4:

Continue to press and hold the inte-
grated signal transmitter button (
2,
3 or 4) while you press and re-press
(“cycle”) your hand-held remote con-
trol transmitter 6 every two seconds
until the frequency signal has been
learned. Upon successful training, the
indicator lamp 1 will flash slowly and
then rapidly after several seconds.

Proceed with programming step 5 and
step 6 to complete.
Operation of integrated remote control

Switch on ignition.

Select and press the appropriate inte-
grated signal transmitter button ( 2,
3 or 4) to activate the remote con-
trolled device.
The integrated remote control trans-
mitter continues to send the signal as
long as the button is pressed – up to
20 seconds.

Erasing the integrated remote control
memory
Switch on ignition.

Simultaneously hold down the signal
transmitter buttons
2 and 4, for ap-
proximately 20 seconds, until the indi-
cator lamp 1 blinks rapidly. Do not
hold for longer than 30 seconds.
The codes of all three channels are
erased. Reprogramming a single integrated
signal transmitter button
To program a device using a signal trans-
mitter button previously trained, follow
these steps:

Press and hold the desired signal trans-
mitter button (
2, 3 or 4). Do not re-
lease the button.

The indicator lamp will begin to flash af-
ter 20 seconds. Without releasing the
integrated signal transmitter button,
proceed with programming starting
with step 3.
iIf you sell your vehicle, erase the codes
of all three channels.

the point indicated by the arrow.
The fuel filler flap springs open.

Turn the fuel cap to the left and hold on
to it until possible pressure is released.

Take off the cap and set it in the recess
on the fuel filler flap.
To prevent fuel vapors from escaping
into open air, fully insert filler nozzle
unit.

Only fill your tank until the filler nozzle
unit cuts out – do not top up or overfill.

Replace the fuel cap by turning it to the
right.
You should hear the fuel cap engage.

Close the fuel filler flap.
Warning!
G
Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous.
It burns violently and can cause serious inju-
ry. Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid
inhaling fumes and skin contact, extinguish
all smoking materials. Never allow sparks,
flame or smoking materials near gasoline! Warning!
G
Flexible Fuel Vehicles (identified by a label
reading Premium gasoline or E85 only! on
fuel filler flap):
Ethanol fuel (E85) and its vapors are highly
flammable, poisonous and burn easily. Etha-
nol fuel can cause serious injuries if ignited
or if you come into contact with it or inhale
fumes of it. Avoid inhalation of Ethanol
fumes and skin contact with Ethanol. Extin-
guish all open flames before refueling. Never
smoke or create sparks close to Ethanol.
Warning!
G
Overfilling of the fuel tank may create pres-
sure in the system which could cause a gas
discharge. This could cause the gas to spray
back out when removing the fuel pump noz-
zle, which could cause personal injury.
