Press and hold one of transmitter but-
tons ;to? on the integrated remote
control.
Indicator lamp :starts to flash after a
short while. It flashes about once a second.
i Indicator lamp :flashes immediately
the first time the transmitter button is pro-
grammed. If this transmitter button has
already been programmed, indicator
lamp :will only start flashing at a rate of
once a second after 20 seconds have
elapsed.
X Keep the transmitter buttons depressed.
X Point the garage door's remote control with
the transmitter towards the left-hand side
of the rear-view mirror from a distance of 5
to 20 cm.
i The distance between the garage door's
remote control and the integrated garage
door opener depends on the system of the
garage door drive. You might require sev-
eral attempts. You should test every posi-
tion for at least 20 seconds before trying
another position.
X Keep the transmitter button on the garage
door's remote control depressed until indi-
cator lamp :starts to flash rapidly.
The programming was successful if indica-
tor lamp :flashes rapidly.
X Release the transmitter buttons on the
garage door's remote control and the inte-
grated remote control.
If indicator lamp :goes out after approx-
imately 20 seconds and did not flash rapidly
before this:
X Release the transmitter buttons on the
integrated and portable remote controls.
X Repeat the programming procedure. When
doing so, change the distance between the
garage door's remote control and the trans-
mitter buttons in the rear-view mirror.
i If the garage door system works with a
rolling code, after programming you must synchronise the remote control integrated
in the rear-view mirror with the garage door
system receiver.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on "Synchro-
nising the transmitter" or "Registering a
new transmitter". You can also call the hot-
line mentioned above.
Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated remote
control will assume the function of the garage
door system's remote control. Please read
the operating instructions for the garage door
system.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press the transmitter button on the rear-
view mirror that you have programmed to
operate the garage door.
Garage door system with fixed code: indi-
cator lamp :lights up continuously.
Garage door system with rolling code: indi-
cator lamp :flashes briefly and then lights
up for approximately two seconds. This is
repeated for up to 20 seconds.
i The transmitter will transmit a signal for
as long as the transmitter button is being
pressed. The transmission will be halted
after a maximum of 20 seconds and indi-
cator lamp :will flash. Press the trans-
mitter button again, if necessary.
Clearing the remote control memory X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition

R
Vehicles with a key:
Do not remove the key from the ignition
lock. Do not open the driver's or front-
passenger door when the engine is
switched off, as this automatically shifts
the automatic transmission to park posi-
tion Pand locks the wheels, unless you
have previously shifted the automatic
transmission to N.
R Vehicles with KEYLESS GO*:
Do not open the driver's or front-
passenger door when the engine is
switched off, as this shifts the automatic
transmission to park position Pand locks
the wheels.
! Make sure that the side windows are com-
pletely closed, that the ventilation/heater
blower is turned off and that the wind-
screen wiper switch is set to 0. Otherwise,
the rain/light sensor may be activated, trig-
gering unintended wiper movements. This
could cause damage to the vehicle.
After using an automatic car wash, wipe off
wax and drying agents from the windscreen
and the wiper blades. This will prevent smears
and reduce wiping noises caused by residue
on the windscreen.
High-pressure cleaners G
Risk of accident
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with circu-
lar-jet nozzles (dirt grinders) to clean your
vehicle, in particular the tyres. You could oth-
erwise damage the tyres and cause an acci-
dent.
! Observe the instructions issued by the
equipment manufacturer concerning the
distance to be maintained between the
nozzle of the high-pressure cleaner and the
vehicle (at least 30 cm).
Move the high-pressure cleaner nozzle
around when cleaning your vehicle. Do not aim directly at any of the following:
R
tyres
R door joint
R electrical components
R battery
R connectors
R lights
R seals
R trim elements
Damaged seals or electrical components
can lead to failures or leaks.
Matt finish care* Your vehicle has a clear matt finish. For this
reason, you should make sure that you
adhere to the following instructions to avoid
damage to paintwork due to improper treat-
ment.
! Under no circumstances should you pol-
ish the vehicle. Polishing will make the
paintwork shine.
! When caring for your paintwork, do not
use paint cleaner, grinding or polishing
products, or gloss preservers such as wax.
These products are only suitable for high-
gloss finishes. Using them on a vehicle with
a matt finish results in serious damage to
the surface (gleaming, spotted areas).
Always have paintwork repairs carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
i From the range of available Mercedes-
Benz care products, use only the insect
remover and the car shampoo.
Cleaning the paintwork Scratches, corrosive deposits, areas affected
by corrosion and damage caused by inade-
quate care cannot always be completely
repaired. In such cases, visit a qualified spe-308

X Remove the fire extinguisher from the

The vehicle tool kit and the jack are located
under the boot floor. G
Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise and hold the
vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being
changed.
You must use axle stands if you are carrying
out work on the vehicle.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip, level surface. Do not use wooden
blocks or similar objects as a jack underlay.
Otherwise, the jack will not be able to achieve
its load-bearing capacity due to the restricted
height.
Do not start the engine at any time while a
wheel is being changed.
Do not lie under the vehicle when it is being
supported by the jack. If you do not raise the
vehicle as described, it could slip off the jack
(e.g. if the engine is started or if a door or the
boot lid is opened or closed) and you could be
seriously injured.
i When using the jack, you should also
observe the safety notes in the "Flat tyre"
section (Y page 373).

Risk of accident and injury
The operating safety of your vehicle may be affected if service work is carried out incorrectly.
You could lose control of your vehicle and cause an accident. In addition, the safety systems may
no longer be able to protect you or others as they are designed to do.
Always have service work performed at a qualified specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this purpose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. Display messages
