Head-up Display
The concept
This system projects important information into
the driver's field of vision, e.g., the speed.
In this way, the driver can get information with‐
out averting his or her eyes from the road.
Display visibility
The visibility of the displays in the Head-up Dis‐
play is influenced by:
▷Certain sitting positions.▷Objects on the cover of the Head-up Dis‐
play.▷Sunglasses with certain polarization filters.▷Wet roads.▷Unfavorable light conditions.
If the image is distorted, check the basic set‐
tings.

The windshield is part of the system.
The shape of the windshield makes it possible
to display a precise image.
A film in the windshield prevents double images
from being displayed.
Therefore, have the special windshield replaced
by a service center only.

Interior equipmentVehicle equipment
All standard, country-specific and optional
equipment that is offered in the model series is
described in this chapter. Therefore, equipment
is also described that is not available in a vehicle,
e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐
ment or country variant. This also applies for
safety-related functions and systems.
Integrated universal remote
control
The concept
This system can replace up to three different
hand-held transmitters for various types of re‐
mote-controlled equipment, such as garage
doors or lighting systems.
The hand-held transmitter signal can be pro‐
grammed on one of the three memory buttons.
The corresponding device can then be operated
using the programmed memory button.
The LED indicates that a signal is being trans‐
mitted.
When selling the vehicle, delete the stored pro‐
grams for security reasons.
During programming
During programming and before activat‐
ing a device using the integrated universal re‐
mote control, ensure that there are no people,
animals, or objects in the range of movement of
the remote-controlled device; otherwise, there
is a risk of injury or damage.
Also follow the safety instructions of the hand-
held transmitter.◀
Compatibility If this symbol is printed on the packaging
or in the instructions of the hand-heldtransmitter, the remote-controlled device is
generally compatible with the integrated univer‐
sal remote control.

Programming
▷LED, arrow 1.▷Memory buttons, arrow 2.
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters
1.Switch on the ignition.2.Initial setup:
Press the two outer memory buttons 1 and
3 for approx. 20 seconds until the LED, ar‐
row 1 flashes.
All programs of the three memory buttons,
arrow 2, are cleared.3.Hold the hand-held transmitter a distance of
approx. 1 to 3 in/2.5 to 8 cm from the mem‐
ory buttons.
The required distance depends on the
manual transmitter.4.Simultaneously press the transmit button of
the hand-held transmitter and the memory
button of the integrated universal remote
control.Seite 143Interior equipmentControls143

The LED flashes slowly.5.Release both buttons when the LED flashes
rapidly.
If the LED does not flash rapidly after approx.
60 seconds, change the distance and repeat
the step.
Canada: if the LED is not flashing rapidly af‐
ter approx. 60 seconds, change the distance
and repeat the step, or, if the programming
was interrupted by the hand-held transmit‐
ter, hold down the memory button and press
and release the button on the hand-held
transmitter again for 2 seconds.6.To program other hand-held transmitters,
repeat steps 3 to 5.
The device can be operated using the memory
button with the engine running or the ignition
switched on.
Malfunction
If the device cannot be used after repeated at‐
tempts at programming, please check whether
the hand-held transmitter is equipped with an
alternating code system.
To do so:
▷Read the instructions of the hand-held
transmitter.▷Hold down the memory button of the
integrated universal remote control longer.
If the LED of the integrated universal remote
control flashes rapidly for a brief period and then
lights up continuously, the hand-held transmit‐
ter is equipped with an alternating code system.
In this case, program the memory buttons as
described under Alternating-code hand-held
transmitters.
Alternating-code hand-held
transmitters
Please obtain information on synchronizing the
device in the operating manual of the device be‐
ing set up.
Programming will be easier with the aid of a sec‐
ond person.1.Park the vehicle within range of the remote-
controlled device.2.Program the integrated universal remote
control as described above under Fixed-
code hand-held transmitters.3.Locate the button on the receiver of the de‐
vice to be set, e.g., on the drive.4.Press the button on the receiver of the de‐
vice to be set. You have approx. 30 seconds
for the next step.5.Hold down the programmed memory button
of the integrated universal remote for ap‐
prox. 3 seconds. Repeat this work step, if
necessary, up to three times.
The device can be operated using the memory
button with the engine running or the ignition
switched on.
Reassigning individual programs
