If it is permitted by law to operate communica-
tions equipment while the vehicle is in motion,
you may only do so if the traffic situation per-
mits. You may otherwise be distracted from the
traffic conditions, cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk posed by electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R optimal mobile phone reception quality in the
vehicle
R that mutual interference between the vehicle
electronics and mobile phones is minimised
An exterior aerial has the following advantages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gener-
ated by a wireless device to the exterior
R the field strength in the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have an
exterior aerial
Information on retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters) (Y page 372).
General notes There are various mobile phone brackets that
may be fitted in your vehicle; in some cases,
these are country-specific.
More information on suitable mobile phones,
mobile phone brackets and on connecting Blue-
tooth ®
-capable mobile phones with the multi-
media system can be obtained:
R at your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre
R on the Internet at http://www.mercedes-
benz.com/connect
The functions and services available when you
use the phone depend on your mobile phone
model and service provider.
Using a mobile phone To connect a mobile phone to the exterior aerial
and charge it, insert it into the mobile phone
bracket. X
Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 300).
X Place the mobile phone bracket into the pre-
installed fitting; see the separate installation
instructions for the mobile phone fitting.
X Insert the mobile phone into the mobile phone
bracket; see the separate installation instruc-
tions for the mobile phone fitting.
i The mobile phone can also be operated
without being in the bracket. However, the
charging function and aerial function are not
available.
In order to use Bluetooth ®
(SAP profile) on your
telephone module, you must first insert the tele-
phone module into the pre-installed fitting. This connects it to the exterior aerial. If you wish to
charge the mobile phone, then you must con-
nect it to a USB port.
Further information on the telephone module
with Bluetooth ®
(SAP profile) can be found in the
Digital Owner's Manual.
Operating the mobile phone You can operate the telephone using the
6
and ~ buttons on the multifunction steering
wheel. You can operate other mobile phone
functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 242).
When you remove the key from the ignition lock, the mobile phone is disconnected from the vehi-cle. You can then no longer make calls using the
hands-free system.
If a call is active and you remove the key from
the ignition lock, the conversation is transferred over to the mobile phone. It is then possible to
continue the conversation on the mobile phone. Garage door opener
General notes The HomeLink
®
garage door opener integrated
in the rear-view mirror allows you to operate up to three different door and gate systems.
Once programmed, the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror will assume the
function of the garage door system's remote
control. Please also read the operating instruc-
tions for the garage door system. Features
311Stowing and features Z 

When programming a garage door opener, park
the vehicle outside the garage. Do not run the
engine while programming.
The garage door opener is only available for cer- tain countries. Observe the legal requirements
for each individual country.
The HomeLink ®
garage door opener is compat-
ible with most European garage and gate opener
drives. More information on HomeLink ®
and/or
compatible products is available:

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.

X To start programming mode: press and
hold one of buttons ;to? of the integrated
garage door opener.
The garage door opener is now in program-
ming mode. After a short time, indicator
lamp :begins to light up yellow.
Indicator lamp :lights up yellow immedi-
ately the first time button ;,=or? is pro-
grammed. If the selected button has already

tons ;to? on the rear-view mirror at a dis-
tance of 5 to 20 cm.
X Press and hold button Bon remote control
A until indicator lamp :lights up green.
When indicator lamp :lights up green: pro-
gramming is finished.
When indicator lamp :flashes green: pro-
gramming was successful. The next step is to

X Release button Bof remote control Aof the
garage door drive.
If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat the
programming process for the corresponding
button on the rear-view mirror. When doing
so, vary the distance between remote control A and the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between remote con-
trol Aand the integrated garage door opener
depends on the garage door drive system. 312
FeaturesStowing and features 

Several attempts may be required. You
should test every position for at least
25 seconds before trying another position.
Synchronising the rolling code
Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 312).
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronise the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this, you
will need to use the programming button on the
door drive control panel. The programming but-
ton may be placed at different locations depend- ing on the manufacturer. It is usually located on
the door drive unit on the garage ceiling.
Familiarise yourself with the garage door drive
operating instructions, e.g. under "Program-
ming of additional remote controls", before car-
rying out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within range of the garage
door or gate opener drive. Make sure that nei-
ther your vehicle nor any persons/objects are
present within the sweep of the door or gate.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 146).
X Get out of the vehicle.
X Press the programming button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to initiate
the next step.
X Get into the vehicle.
X Press previously programmed button ;,=
or ? of the integrated garage door opener
until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronisation is then com- plete.
Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated garage door opener, please note the following:
R Check the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive remote control Aand
whether it is supported. The transmitter fre-
quency can usually be found on the back of
the garage door drive remote control.
R Replace the batteries in garage door remote
control A. This increases the likelihood that
garage door remote control Awill transmit a
strong and precise signal to the integrated
garage door opener in the rear-view mirror. R
When programming, hold remote control A
at varying distances and angles from the but-
ton which you are programming. Try various
angles at a distance between 5and 20 cm or
at the same angle but at varying distances.
R If there is another remote control for the same
garage door drive, perform the programming
steps again using this remote control. Before
performing these steps, make sure that new
batteries have been fitted in garage door drive remote control A.
R Note that some remote controls transmit only
for a limited period (the indicator lamp on theremote control goes out). Press button Bon
remote control Aagain before transmission
ends.
R Align the aerial cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated garage door
opener will assume the function of the garage
door system's remote control. Please also read
the operating instructions for the garage door
system.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 146).
X Press button ;,=or? which you have
programmed to operate the garage door.
