Programming tips
If you are having difficulty programming
the integrated remote control, here are
some helpful tips:

Check the frequency of hand-held
remote control
5 (typically located on
the reverse side of the remote). The
integrated remote control is compati-
ble with radio-frequency devices oper-
ating between 280-390 MHz.

Put a new battery in hand-held remote
control 5. 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
hand-held remote control 5 at
different lengths and angles from the
signal transmitter button ( 2, 3 or 4)
you are programming. Attempt varying
angles at the distance of 2 to 5 in
(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.
iCertain types of garage door openers are
incompatible with the integrated remote control.
If you should experience further difficulties with
programming the integrated remote control,
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center, or call Mercedes-Benz Customer
Assistance Center (in the USA only) at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes, or Customer Service
