procedures quicker and easier.)Step 8:

Locate “training” button on the garage
door opener motor head unit.
Exact location and color of the button
may vary by garage door opener brand.
Depending on manufacturer, the “train-

refer to the garage door opener
operator’s manual.

Some garage door openers (or other rolling
code equipped devices) may require you to
perform this procedure a third time to
complete the training.
Step 12:

Confirm the garage door operation by
pressing the programmed integrated
signal transmitter button (2, 3
or4).
Step 13:

To program the remaining two buttons,

348 OperationVehicle careDry cleaning:
Brush the dry top with a soft-bristled
brush.
Brush top always from front to rear.
Wet cleaning:

Brush the top with a soft-bristled
brush.
Wash with clear water or with a mild
detergent and an ample supply of luke-
warm water by wiping with a soft-bris-
tled brush or sponge from front to
rear.Then rinse thoroughly with clear
water.Wash the top only when heavily soiled.
If only parts of the top have been washed,
wet the entire top and allow it to air-dry be-
fore lowering it into the storage compart-
ment.
For cleaning soft top or wind screen never
use:


gasoline


thinner


tar and stain removers


glass cleaner


similar organic solvents
They will cause damage which is not cov-
ered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited War-
ranty.Ornamental moldings
For regular cleaning and care of very dirty
chrome-plated parts, use a chrome
cleaner.
Headlamps, tail lamps, side markers,
turn signal lenses
Use a mild car wash detergent, such as
Mercedes-Benz approved Car Shampoo,
with plenty of water.
To prevent scratches, never apply strong
force and only use a soft, non-scratchy
cloth when cleaning the lenses. Do not
attempt to wipe dirty lenses with a dry
cloth or sponge.
iWhen you run the vehicle through an
automatic car wash, never use
hot-wax.
Depending on the operation mode of
the car wash, there is the possibility of
water drops entering the vehicle’s inte-
rior. This is not an indication of a defect
or malfunction in the soft top.
iIn general, regular spraying or cleaning
with clear water is sufficient to keep
the soft top clean.

414 Practical hintsReplacing bulbsSafe vehicle operation depends on proper
exterior lighting and signaling. It is there-
fore essential that all bulbs and lamp
assemblies are in good working order at all
times.
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely
important. Have headlamps checked and
readjusted at regular intervals and when a
bulb has been replaced. See an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for headlamp ad-
justment.

Warning!

Keep bulbs out of reach of children.
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot. Al-
low the lamp to cool down before changing
a bulb.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas. A
bulb can explode if you:

touch or move it when hot


drop the bulb


scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
Because of high voltage in Xenon lamps, it is
dangerous to replace the bulb or repair the
lamp and its components. We recommend
that you have such work done by a qualified
technician.iHave the headlamp adjustment
checked regularly.
