2014 MERCEDES-BENZ G-CLASS SUV rear view mirror

and reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the door
to stop and reverse - does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards.
When programming a garage door opener,
park vehicle outside the garage.
Do not run the engine while programming the
integrated remote control. Inhalation of
exhaust gas is hazardous to your health. All
exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO),
and inhaling it can cause unconsciousness
and possible death. All exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can
cause unconsciousness and possible death.
You can use the HomeLink ®
garage door
opener integrated into the rear-view mirror to
operate up to three different gate/garage
door opener systems.

To achieve the best result, insert new
batteries in garage door remote control
A of your garage door drive before
programming.
X Delete the memory of the integrated
remote control (Y page 189) before
programming it for the first time.
X Turn the SmartKey to position
2(Y page 97) in the ignition lock.
X Press and hold transmitter button ;,=
or ?.
After a short time, indicator lamp :will
start flashing. It flashes approximately
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 Continue to hold the transmitter button.
X Point transmitter button Aof garage door
remote control Btowards 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 Aand the integrated
garage door opener depends on the system
of the garage door drive. Several attempts
might be necessary. You should test every
position for at least 20 seconds before
trying another position.
X Keep transmitter button Bon garage door
remote control Apressed until indicator
lamp :starts to flash rapidly.
The programming has been successful if
indicator lamp :flashes rapidly.
X Release transmitter buttons ;,=or?
on the integrated remote control and
transmitter button Bon the garage door
remote control. 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 Bon 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 in 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.

opener until the door closes.
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.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated remote control to
recognize the signal during programming.
Comparable with Canadian law, American
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, proceed as follows: Integrated remote control in the rear-view mirror
:
Indicator lamp
;=? Transmitter buttons
A Garage door remote control
B Transmitter button on the garage
door remote control
X Keep the transmitter button (;, =or?)
depressed until the integrated remote
control has been set up 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 Bof 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). 196

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 back of the remote
control).
The integrated remote control is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280 to 390 MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control A. This increases the
probability of garage door remote control
A sending a strong and more precise
signal to the integrated remote control on
the rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold garage door
remote control Aat varying distances and
angles from the transmitter button which
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 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 new batteries have
been inserted in the garage door remote
control.
R Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.

General notes
G
WARNING
Many cleaning products can be hazardous.
Some are poisonous, others are flammable.
Always follow the instructions on the
particular container. Always open your
vehicle's doors or windows when cleaning the
inside.
Never use fluids or solvents that are not
designed for cleaning your vehicle.
Always lock away cleaning products and keep
them out of reach of children.
! For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any
of the following:
R dry, rough or hard cloths
R abrasive cleaning agents
R solvents
R cleaning agents containing solvents
Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective
films with hard objects, e.g. a ring or ice
scraper. You could otherwise scratch or
damage the surfaces and protective film.
! Do not park the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive for a few minutes after
cleaning. Braking heats the brake discs and
the brake pads/linings, thus drying them.
The vehicle can then be parked. H
Environmental note
Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning
cloths in an environmentally responsible
manner. Regular care of your vehicle is a condition for
retaining the quality in the long term.
Use care products and cleaning agents
recommended and approved by Mercedes-
Benz.

WARNING
Braking efficiency is reduced after washing
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
After the vehicle has been washed, brake
carefully while paying attention to the traffic
conditions until full braking power is restored.
! Never clean your vehicle in a Touchless
Automatic Car Wash as these use special
cleaning agents. These cleaning agents can
damage the paintwork or plastic parts.
