position for at least 25 seconds before
trying another position.
X Press and hold transmitter button B on

indicator lamp : lights up green.
Programming is complete if indicator
lamp : lights up or flashes green.
X Release transmitter button ;, = or ? on
the integrated garage door opener and the
transmitter button on garage door remote
control B.
If indicator lamp : lights up red:
X Repeat the programming procedure for the
transmitter

button. When doing so, vary the
distance between the garage door remote
control and the rear-view mirror.
i If the indicator lamp flashes green after
successful programming, the garage door
system

is operating on 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
Your vehicle must be within range of the
garage or gate opener drive. Make sure that
neither your vehicle nor any persons/objects
are present within the sweep of the door or
gate.
Observe the safety notes when performing
the rolling code synchronization.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
X Press the programming button of the door
or gate drive (see the door or gate drive
operating instructions, e.g. under
"Programming of additional remote
controls").

X Press the previously programmed
transmitter button of the HomeLink ®integrated garage door opener repeatedly
in succession until the door opens.
The rolling code synchronization is then
complete.
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.
These signals may not therefore last long
enough for the integrated garage door opener
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 and hold one of transmitter
buttons ; to ? of the integrated garage
door opener.
Indicator lamp : starts to flash yellow
after a short period.
X Release the transmitter button.
X Press transmitter button B of the garage
door remote control and hold for two
seconds, then release for two seconds,
then

press again and hold for two seconds.
X Repeat this sequence on transmitter
button B of the garage door remote
control until indicator lamp : is green.
Repeat the process if indicator lamp :
turns red.
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 transmission frequency of
garage door remote control A (usually452
Features
Stowing and features

found on the reverse side of the remote
control).
The integrated garage door opener is
compatible with devices that can be
operated
with units in a frequency range of
280 to 390 MHz.
R change the batteries in garage door remote
control A. This increases the probability
that garage door remote control A will
send a strong and precise signal to the
integrated garage door opener on the rear-
view mirror.
R when programming, hold garage door
remote control A at different distances
and angles from the transmitter button that
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 another remote control for the same
garage door drive is available, repeat the
same programming steps with this remote
control. Before you perform the steps of the
operation, make sure that there are new
batteries in the garage door remote
control.
R note that some remote controls only
transmit for a limited amount of time (the
indicator lamp on the remote control goes
out). Press the remote control button again
before it stops transmitting.
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 garage
door opener will assume the function of the
garage

door system's remote control. Please

Adding engine oil G
WARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot
engine
parts, it may ignite and you could burn
yourself. Do not spill any engine oil on hot
engine parts. H
Environmental note
When adding oil, take care not to spill any. If
oil enters the soil or waterways, it is harmful
to the environment.
! Use only engine oils and oil filters that
have been approved for vehicles equipped
with a service system. A list of the engine
oils and oil filters tested and approved in
accordance with the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products can be
called up by visiting http://
www.mbusa.com (USA only). More
information about tested and approved
engine oils and oil filters is available from
any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Damage

to the engine or exhaust system is
caused by the following:
R using engine oils and oil filters which
have not been specifically approved for
the service system.
R replacing the engine oil or oil filter after
the replacement interval required by the
service system has elapsed
R using engine oil additives.
! Do not add too much oil. If the oil level is
above the "max" mark on the dipstick, too
much oil has been added. This can lead to
damage to the engine or the catalytic
converter. Have excess oil siphoned off. Example: engine oil cap Engine compartment
