9. If the garage door or other system does not
open using the buttons in the roof headliner
even though the programming was success­
fu l, the system may use a rolling code in­
stead of a f ixed code.
Rolling code program­
ming must be performed ¢ page 43.
The other two buttons in the roof headliner can
be programmed accord ing to the instructions
above. Begin w ith the third step .
Erasing button programming
The programmed buttons cannot be erased indi­
vidua lly. They must a ll be erased together. Repro­
gram the buttons if necessary.
.. Switch the ignition on.
.. Press and hold both outer b uttons in the roof
headliner until the LED ® turns off complete ly
(after about 20 seconds).
Reprogramming the buttons
"'S witch the ign ition on.
"'T o reprogram an individual button, press and
hold the button until the LED® starts to flash
quick ly (after about
10 seconds). Release the
button immediately. Programming mode is ac­
t ive for 5 minutes .
.. Conti nue with the fifth step.
(D) Tips
-Programming using the buttons in the roof
headliner is not possib le w ith all Infotain­
ment systems . If this is the case, program
the buttons as descr ibed in version A
¢page 41.
-The required distance between the hand
transmitter and the Homelink module in
the radiator grille¢
fig. 36 depends on the
system that you are prog rammin g.
- Depending on the model of the system, you
may need to release the button on the re­
mote control during programming and
press it again . Hold each position you try for
at least 15 seconds before trying another
position. Keep the turn signals on your vehi­
cle in view when doing this.
Opening and closing
Rolling code programming
Applies to vehicles: with garage door opener (Homelink)
Rolling code programming is also needed for
some systems .
Identifying a rolling code
.. Press and hold the button in the roof headliner
that was already programmed.
"' Watch the LEO @¢
page 41 , fig. 35. If the LED
blinks quickly, the systems (such as a garage
door) is equipped with a roll ing code.
"' Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the motor unit in a system
.. Locate the programming button on the sys­
tem's motor un it. The exact location and color
of the button may vary depend ing on the brand
of the system .
"' Press the programming button on the garage
door opene r moto r un it (th is w ill usually acti­
vate an "i ndicator" on the motor unit). You now
have approximately
30 seconds to program the
button in the roof headliner.
Programming the button in the roof
headliner
"'Press and hold the previous ly programmed but­
ton in the roof headliner for 2 seconds .
.. To end ro lling code programming, press and
hold the button again for 2 seconds.
.. With some systems, the button may need to be
pressed a third time to end the programming
process .
After programm ing, the system should detect
the signal and begin moving when the button in
the roof headliner is pressed. Now you may pro ­
gram the ot her buttons as needed .
(D Tips
-The rolling code can be programmed more
quickly and more easily with the help of a
second person.
- If you have difficulty programming the roll­
ing code, referring to the user guide for the
system may help .

Emergency braking
In the event that the conventional brake system
fails or locks.
11-In an emergency, pull the switch@¢ page 77,
fig. 81 and continue to pull it to slow your vehi­
cle down with the parking brake .
11-As soon as you release the switch @ or acceler-
ate, the braking process stops.
If you pull the sw itch @and ho ld it above a
speed of about
5 mph (8 km/h), the emergency
brak ing funct ion is initiated. The vehicle is braked
at all four wheels by activa ting the hydraulic
b rake system . The brake performance is similar
to making an eme rgency stop ¢
.&..
In o rder not to activate the emergency brak ing by
mista ke, an audible warning tone (b uzzer)
sounds when the sw itch @ is pulled . As soon as
the switch @ is released, or the accelerator pedal
is depressed, emergency braking stops .
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an
emergency, when the normal foot brake has
fai led or the brake pedal is obstructed. Using
the parking brake to perform emergency brak­
ing w ill slow your vehicle down as if you had
made a full brake a pplicat io n. The laws of
physics cannot be suspended even with ESC
and its associa ted components (A BS, ASR,
ED S). In cor ners and w hen ro ad or weather
condi tions a re bad, a full brake app lication
can ca use the vehicle to skid or the rear end to
break away - risking an accident .
Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your
driving speed below a set speed limit.
T he speed warning system warns if the driver ex­
ceeds a previously stored maximum speed . A
~ war ning tone w ill sound as soon as the vehicle
~ speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 mph
~ (3 km/ h). At the same t ime, a warn ing symbol 1.1'1

Speed warning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set t he maximum
speed w hile you are driv ing. This se tt ing will re­

s u ming tha t you have not changed or reset the
setting .
T he . (USA models) /. (Can ada models)
speed wa rning symbo l in the warn ing

appears when you exceed the maxim um speed. It
goes out when the speed falls be low the stored
maximum speed.
T he speed warn ing symbol will also go out if the
speed
exceeds the stored maximum speed by
more than about
25 mph (40 km/h) for at least
10 seconds. The stored maximum speed is delet ­
ed.
Speed wa rning 2
Stor ing warning 2 is recommended if yo u always
want to be reminded of a certain speed, for ex­
amp le when you are traveling in a country that
has a general max imum speed limit, or if yo u do
not want to exceed a specified speed for winter
t ir es .
