Garage door opener
Important safety notes G
WARNING
When you operate or program the garage door
with the integrated garage door opener,
persons in the range of movement of the
garage door can become trapped

or struck by
the garage door. There is a risk of injury.
When using the integrated garage door
opener, always make sure that nobody is
within the range of movement of the garage
door. G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases leads to

poisoning. There is a risk of fatal injury. Therefore never leave
the engine running in enclosed spaces
without sufficient ventilation.
The HomeLink ®
garage door opener
integrated in the rear-view mirror allows you
to operate up to three

different door and gate
systems.
Only operate garage doors using the
integrated garage door opener if:
R they are equipped with a safety stop and
reverse feature, and
R they conform to the current U.S. safety
standards.
When programming a garage door opener,
park vehicle outside the garage.
i Certain garage door drives are
incompatible with the integrated garage
door opener. If you have difficulty
programming the integrated garage door
opener, contact an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
Alternatively, you can call the following
telephone assistance services:
R USA: Mercedes-Benz Customer
Assistance Center at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes

memory
(Y page 294).
X Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
X Press and hold one of buttons 0044 to 0085 on
the integrated garage door opener.
After a short time, indicator

lamp 0043 lights
up yellow.
i Indicator lamp
0043 lights up

yellow as soon
as button 0044, 0087 or 0085 is programmed for
the first time. If the selected button has
already been programmed, indicator
lamp 0043 will only light up yellow after ten
seconds have elapsed.
X Release button 0044, 0087 or 0085. Indicator
lamp 0043 flashes yellow.
X Point garage door remote control 0083
towards buttons 0044 to 0085 on the rear-view
mirror at a distance of 2 to 8 inches (5 to
20 cm).
i The required distance between remote
control 0083 and the integrated garage door
opener depends on the garage door drive
system. Several attempts might be
necessary. You should test every position
for at least 25 seconds before trying
another position. X
Press and hold
button
0084 on remote control
0083 until indicator lamp 0043

lights up green.
If indicator lamp 0043 lights up green or
flashes, then programming has been
successful.

0083
for
the garage door drive system.
X If indicator lamp 0043 lights up red: repeat
the programming procedure for the
corresponding button on the rear-view
mirror. When doing so, vary the distance
between remote control 0083 and the rear-
view mirror.
i If the indicator lamp flashes green after
successful programming, the garage door
system is using a rolling code. After
programming, you must synchronize the
garage door opener integrated in the rear-
view mirror with the
receiver

of the garage
door system.
Synchronizing the rolling code
Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 291).
Your vehicle must be within reach of the
garage door or exterior gate drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
X Press the program button of the door or
gate drive (see the door or gate drive
operating instructions, e.g. under
"programming of additional remote
controls").
i Usually, you now have 30seconds to
initiate the next step.
X Press previously programmed button 0044,
0087 or 0085

of the integrated garage door
opener until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then
complete. 292

Notes on programming the remote
control
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals after broadcasting for
a
few seconds.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated garage door
opener. The signal is not recognized during
programming. Comparable with Canadian
law, some U.S. garage door openers also
feature a "break".
Proceed as follows:
R if you live in Canada
R if you have difficulties programming the
garage door opener (regardless of where
you live) when using the programming
steps
X Press and hold one of buttons 0044 to 0085 on
the integrated garage door opener.
After a short time, indicator

lamp 0043 lights
up yellow.
X Release the button.
Indicator lamp 0043 flashes yellow.
X Press button 0084 of garage door remote
control 0083 for two seconds, then

release it
for two seconds.
X Press button 0084 again for two seconds.
X Repeat this sequence on button 0084 of
remote control 0083 until indicator lamp 0043
lights up green.
If indicator lamp 0043 turns red, repeat the
process.
X Continue with the other programming
steps (see above).
Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems
programming the integrated garage door
opener on the rear-view mirror, take note of
the following instructions:
R Check the transmitter frequency
of

garage
door drive remote control 0083. This can
usually be found on the back of the remote
control. The integrated garage door opener is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280to 433
MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control 0083. This increases the
likelihood that garage door remote control
0083 will

transmit a strong and precise signal
to the integrated garage door opener in the
rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold remote control
0083 at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programming. Try
various angles at a distance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
R If another remote control for the same
garage door drive is available, repeat the
same programming steps with this remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
installed in garage door drive remote
control 0083.
R Note that some remote controls only
transmit for a limited amount of time (the
indicator lamp on the remote control goes
out). Press button 0084 on remote control
0083 again before transmission ends.
R Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.
Opening/closing the garage door After it has been programmed, the integrated
garage door opener performs the function of
the garage door system remote control.
Please also read the operating instructions
for the garage door system.
