If the indicator lamp1 stays on 
constantly, programming is complete 
and your device should activate when 
the respective signal transmitter 
button (2, 3 or4) is pressed and re-
leased.
Step 7:
To program the remaining two signal 
transmitter buttons, repeat the steps 
above starting with step 3.Rolling code programming
To train a garage door opener (or other 
rolling code devices) with the rolling code 
feature, follow these instructions after 
completing the “Programming” portion 
(steps 1 through 6) of this text. (A second 
person may make the following training 
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 
“training” button may also be referred 
to as “learn”or “smart” button. If there 
is difficulty locating the transmitting 
button, refer to the garage door opener 
operator’s manual. Step 9:
Press the “training” button on the ga-
rage door opener motor head unit.
The “training light” is activated.
You have 30 seconds to initiate the follow-
ing two steps.
Step 10:
Return to the vehicle and firmly press, 
hold for 2 seconds and release the pro-
grammed signal transmitter button 
(2, 3 or4).
Step 11:
Press, hold for 2 seconds and release 
same signal transmitter button a sec-
ond time to complete the training pro-
cess.
iIf the indicator lamp1 flashes rapidly 
for about 2 seconds and then turns to a 
constant light, continue with 
programming steps 8 through 12 as 
your garage door opener may be 
equipped with the “rolling code” 
feature.

Step 12:
Confirm the garage door operation by 
pressing the programmed signal trans-
mitter button (2, 3 or4).
Step 13:
To program the remaining two signal 
transmitter 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 
integrated signal transmitter to pick up the 
signal 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 
difficulties programming a gate operator 
(regardless of where you live) by using the 
programming procedures, replace step 4 
with the following:
Step 4:
Press and hold the signal transmitter 
button (2, 3 or4). Do not release 
this button until it has been successful-
ly trained.
While still holding down the signal 
transmitter button (2, 3 or4), 
“cycle” your hand-held remote control 
button6 as follows: Press and hold 
button6 for 2 seconds, then release 
it for 2 seconds, and again press and 
hold it for 2 seconds. Repeat this se-
quence on the hand-held remote con-
trol until the frequency signal has been 
learned. Upon successful training, the 
indicator lamp1 will flash slowly and 
then rapidly after several seconds.
Proceed with programming step 5 and 
step 6 to complete.
iSome garage door openers (or other 
rolling code equipped devices) may 
require you to press, hold for 2 seconds 
and release the same signal transmit-
ter button a third time to complete the 
training process.

Erasing the integrated remote control 
memory
Switch on the ignition (
page 36).
Simultaneously press and hold down 
the outer signal transmitter buttons2 
and 4, for approximately 20 seconds, 
until the indicator lamp1 flashes rap-
idly. Do not hold for longer than 
30 seconds.
The codes of all three channels are 
erased.Programming tips
If you are having difficulty programming 
the integrated remote control, here are 
some helpful tips:
Check the frequency of the hand-held 
remote control5 (typically located on 
the reverse side of the remote). The in-
tegrated remote control is compatible 
with radio-frequency devices operating 
between 288-399 MHz.
Put a new battery in the hand-held re-
mote control5. This will increase the 
likelihood of the hand-held remote con-
trol sending a faster and more accurate 
signal to the integrated remote control.
While performing step 3, hold the 
hand-held remote control6 at differ-
ent lengths and angles from the signal 
transmitter button (2, 3 or4) you 
are programming. Attempt varying an-
gles at the distance of 2 to 5 inches 
(5 to 12 cm) away or the same angle at 
varying distances.
If another hand-held remote control is 
available for the same device, try the 
programming steps again using that 
other hand-held remote control. Make 
sure new batteries are in the hand-held 
remote control before beginning the 
procedure.
Straighten the antenna wire from the 
garage door opener assembly. This 
may help improve transmitting and/or 
receiving signals.
iIf you sell your vehicle, erase the codes 
of all three channels.
iCertain types of garage door openers 
are incompatible with the integrated 
remote control. If you should experi-
ence further difficulties with program-
ming the integrated remote control, 
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Center, or call Mercedes-Benz 
Customer Assistance Center (in the 
USA only) at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes, or 
Customer Service (in Canada) at 
1-800-387-0100.
