if you see or hear steam coming from it.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location away from
other
traffic.
Turn off the engine, get out of the
vehicle and do not stand near the vehicle until
the engine has cooled down.
The coolant temperature gauge is in the
instrument cluster on the left-hand side.
Under normal driving conditions, with the
correct anti-corrosion and antifreeze additive
concentration, the reading may rise to
248 ‡(120 †).
! If the coolant temperature exceeds
248 ‡(120 †) do not continue driving. The
engine will otherwise be damaged. Outside temperature display
The outside temperature display is in the
multifunction display (Y

page 154).G
WARNING
The outside temperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the
freezing point

do not guarantee that the road
surface is free of ice. The road may still be icy,
especially in wooded areas or on bridges.
Changes in the outside temperature are
displayed after a short delay. Operating the on-board computer
The on-board computer is activated as soon
as you

turn the SmartKey to position 1 in the

control ( Y page 207) before programming
it for the first time.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the

X Press 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.
i Indicator 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 a second after 20 seconds have
elapsed.
X Keep the transmitter button depressed.
X Point garage door remote control A with
transmitter button B toward the
transmitter buttons

on the rear-view mirror
at a distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm).
i The distance between garage door
remote control A and the integrated
garage door

opener depends on the system
of the garage door drive. You might require
several attempts. You should test every
position for at least 20 seconds before
trying another position.
X Keep transmitter button B on
garage door
remote control A pressed until indicator
lamp : starts to flash rapidly.
The programming has been successful if

If indicator lamp : goes out after
approximately 20 seconds and has not
flashed rapidly:
X
Release transmitter buttons ;, = or ?
on the integrated remote control and
transmitter button B on the garage door
remote control.
X Repeat 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:
X Press transmitter button ( ;, = or ?
) and
hold it down during the following steps until the setup has been completed
successfully.
X At 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.
X Repeat this sequence on transmitter
button B of the garage door remote
control until

the frequency signal has been
saved.
X If the setup procedure is successful,
indicator lamp : flashes once slowly and
goes out after a few seconds.
X Continue 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 between 2 and 12 inches (5
to 30 cm) or the same angle at varying
distances.
R if there is another garage door remote
control for the same device, perform the
programming steps again using that garage
door opener. Before performing these
steps, make sure that there are new206

batteries in the garage door remote
control.
R align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.
Opening/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.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
X Press transmitter button ;, = or ? on
the integrated remote control in the rear-
view mirror

that is programmed to operate
the garage door.
Garage door system with fixed code:

Garage door system with rolling code:
indicator 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
indicator lamp : will flash. Press the
transmitter button again, if necessary.
Clearing the remote control memory X
Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.

WARNING
Whenever you are using a floormat, make sure
there is enough clearance and that the
floormat is securely fastened.
The floormat should always be securely
fastened using the fastening equipment.
Before driving off, check that the floormat is
securely in

place and adjust it if necessary. A
loose floormat could slip and hinder proper
functioning of the pedals.
Do not place several floormats on top of each
other as this may impair pedal movement. Features
