WARNING
When you load the roof, the center of gravity
of the vehicle rises and the driving character- istics change. If you exceed the maximum roof
load, the driving characteristics, as well as
steering and braking, will be greatly impaired. There is a risk of an accident.
Never exceed the maximum roof load and
adjust your driving style.
The roof is not suited for transporting loads.
Do not use the roof rails or other accessories
which are mounted on the roof. Features

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If objects in the passenger compartment are
stowed incorrectly, they can slide or be
thrown around and hit vehicle occupants.
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the
event of sudden braking or a sudden change
in direction.
R Always stow objects so that they cannot be
thrown around in such situations.
R Always make sure that objects do not pro-
trude from stowage spaces, parcel nets or
stowage nets.
R Close the lockable stowage spaces while
driving.
R Stow and secure objects that are heavy,
hard, pointy, sharp-edged, fragile or too
large in the cargo compartment. !
Only use the cup holders for containers of
the right size and which have lids. The
drinks could otherwise spill.
Observe the loading guidelines (Y page 248).

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
When you operate or program the garage door with the integrated garage door opener, per-
sons 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 with-
out sufficient ventilation.
When programming a garage door opener,
park the vehicle outside the garage. Do not
run the engine while programming.

X Repeat the procedure for the other trans-
mitter buttons. When doing so, vary the
distance between the garage door's

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 "Synchro- nizing the transmitter" or "Registering a
new transmitter". You can also call the hot-
line mentioned above.

Notes on programming the remote con-
trol
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 pro-
gramming the garage door opener (regard-
less of where you live) when using the pro-
gramming steps, proceed as follows: 268

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 con-
trol).
The integrated remote control is compati-
ble with devices that have units which oper- ate 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 Asending a
strong and 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 2 and 12 inches (5 to
30 cm) or at the same angle but at varying distances.
R If there is another garage door remote con-
trol for the same device, perform the pro-
gramming steps again using that garage
door opener. Before performing these
steps, make sure that new batteries have Features

been installed in the garage door remote
control.
R Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal trans- mission.

WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can restrict the pedal travel or obstruct a depressed pedal.
The operating and road safety of the vehicle is
jeopardized. There is a risk of an accident.
Make sure that all objects in the vehicle are
stowed correctly, and that they cannot enter
the driver's footwell. Install the floormats
securely and as specified in order to ensure
sufficient clearance for the pedals. Do not use loose floormats and do not place floormats on
top of one another. 270
