The 115V AC socket
: provides an
alternating current of 115 volts, which
enables you to connect small electrical
devices with a combined received power of
150 W at most. You can connect small
devices such as game consoles, mobile
phone chargers, laptops, etc.
Prerequisites for operation:
R The 12V power outlets in the second-row
footwell and cargo compartment
(Y page 206) are operational.
R The plug of the small device must be
inserted fully into 115V AC socket :.
R The on-board voltage of the vehicle is within
the permissible voltage range.
R The specified wattage of the small device
is identical or lower than the maximum
permissible wattage (150 W) of the 115V
AC socket :.
X Operation: Open cover =.
X Insert the plug of the small device into
115V AC socket :.
LED ; comes on.
If LED ; does not come on, refer to the
section on possible nonoperation causes.
X Switching off: Pull the plug out of 115V AC
socket :.
Do not pull on the cable.
X Close cover =.
Possible nonoperation causes:
R The on-board voltage of the vehicle is not
within the permissible voltage range. X
Start the engine.
R The temperature of the DC/AC inverter is
temporarily too high.
XPull the plug of the small device out of
115V AC socket : and plug it in again
after waiting a few minutes.
R Some small devices have a continuous
power rating of less than 150 W but a very
high switch-on current. Such devices will
not operate. When connecting such a
device, 115V AC socket : will not provide
power.
If LED ; still does not come on, contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Tele Aid

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. 214

X Proceed with programming step 5 and
step 6 to complete.
i Upon completion of programming the
integrated remote control, make sure you
retain the hand-held remote control that
came with the garage door opener, gate
operator or other device. You may need it
for use in other vehicles, for future
programming of an integrated remote
control, or simply for continued use as a
hand-held remote control to operate the
respective device in other situations.
