Pedestrian recognition
The Night View Assist Plus recognizes
pedestrians using typical characteristics, i.e.
a silhouette in the shape of a person.
Pedestrian recognition is then switched on
automatically if:
RNight View Assist Plus is activated.
Ryou are driving above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
Rthe surroundings are dark, e.g. when
driving outside built-up areas without
street lighting.
If pedestrian recognition is active,
symbol ? appears. If a pedestrian is now
recognized, they are framed = and thereby
highlighted. If the pedestrian recognition
system has brought a pedestrian to your
attention, look through the windshield to
evaluate the situation. The actual distance to
objects and pedestrians cannot be gauged
accurately by looking at a screen.
It may be the case that objects are highlighted
as well as pedestrians.
GWarning!
The pedestrian detection may be impaired or
unavailable when
Rpedestrians are obstructed fully or in part
by other objects such as parking vehicles
Rthe silhouette in the Night View Assist Plus
image is displayed incomplete or
interrupted, e.g. by significant light
reflection
Ra pedestrian's silhouette is not rich enough
in contrast compared to the background
Rpedestrians are not in erected position but,
for example, sit, crouch down, or lie
iAnimals are not identified by pedestrian
recognition.

persons or objects present within the sweep
of the garage door. People could otherwise be
injured by the movement of the door.
Remote control in the rear-view mirror
Garage door remote control A is not part of
the garage door opener.
iTo achieve the best result, insert new
batteries in garage door remote control
A of your garage door drive before
programming.
XErase the memory of the integrated remote
control (Y page 400) before programming
it for the first time.
XTurn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock.
XPress and hold one of transmitter
buttons ; to ? on the integrated remote
control.
After a short time, indicator lamp : will
start flashing. It flashes about once per
second.
iIndicator lamp : flashes immediately
the first time that the transmitter button is
programmed. If this transmitter button has
already been programmed, indicator
lamp : will only start flashing at a rate of
once per second after 20 seconds have
elapsed.
XKeep the transmitter button depressed.XPoint transmitter button B of garage door
remote control A towards the transmitter
buttons on the rear-view mirror at a
distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 20 cm).
iThe distance between garage door
remote control A and the integrated

If indicator lamp : goes out after
approximately 20 seconds and has not
flashed rapidly:
XRelease transmitter buttons ;, = or ?
on the integrated remote control and
transmitter button B on the garage door
remote control.XRepeat the procedure for the other
transmitter buttons. When doing so, vary
the distance between the garage door's
remote control and the transmitter buttons
in the rear-view mirror.
i If the garage door system works with a
rolling code, you must synchronize the
remote control integrated into the rear-
view mirror with the garage door system
receiver after programming.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on
"Synchronizing the transmitter" or
"Registering a new transmitter". You can
also call the hotline mentioned above.
Notes on programming the remote
control
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals a few seconds after broadcasting.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated remote control to
recognize the signal during programming.
Comparable with Canadian law, some U.S.
garage door openers also have a built-in
"interruption".
If you live in Canada or have difficulties
programming the garage door opener
(regardless of where you live) when using the
programming steps (see above), proceed as
follows:
XPress transmitter button ( ;, = or ?) and
hold it down during the following steps untilthe setup has been completed
successfully.XAt the same time, press transmitter button
B of the garage door remote control for
two seconds, then release it for two
seconds, then press it again for two
seconds.XRepeat this sequence on transmitter
button B of the garage door remote
control until the frequency signal has been
saved.XIf the setup procedure is successful,
indicator lamp : flashes once slowly and
goes out after a few seconds.XContinue with the other programming
steps (see above).
Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the
following:
R Check the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control A (which can usually
be found on the rear of the remote control).
The integrated remote control is
compatible with devices that operate at
frequencies between 280 and 390 MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control A. This increases the
likelihood of garage door remote
control A sending a strong and precise
signal to the integrated remote control on
the rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold garage door
remote control A at varying distances and
angles from the transmitter button which
you are programming. Try different angles
at a distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm)
or the same angle at different distances.
R If there is another garage door remote
control for the same device, perform the
programming steps again using the remote
control. Before performing these steps,
Features399Loading, stowing and featuresZ

make sure that new batteries have been
installed in the garage door remote control.
RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.
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 also
read the operating instructions for the garage
door system.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
