Climate control system
The following contains instructions and rec-
ommendations to enable you to get the most
out of your 3-zone automatic climate control.
RActivate climate control using the Ãand
¿ buttons. The indicator lamps in the
à and¿ buttons light up.
RSet the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
ROnly use the "Windshield defrosting" func-
tion briefly until the windshield is clear
again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odors or
when in a tunnel. The windows could oth-
erwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn
into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.
RUse the ZONE function to adopt the tem-
perature settings on the driver's side for
the front-passenger side as well. The indi-
cator lamp in the ábutton goes out.

Tachometer
!
Do not drive in the overrevving range, as
this could damage the engine.
The red band in the tachometer indicates the
engine's overrevving range.
The engine is limited within a range to protect
the engine when the red band is reached.
Outside temperature display
You should pay special attention to road con-
ditions when temperatures are around freez-
ing point.
Bear in mind that the outside temperature
display indicates the temperature measured
and does not record the road temperature.
The outside temperature display is in the mul-
tifunction display (
Ypage 213).
There is a short delay before a change in out-
side temperature appears in the multifunc-
tion display.
Coolant temperature display
GWARNING
Opening the hood when the engine is over-
heated or when there is a fire in the engine
compartment could expose you to hot gases
or other service products. There is a risk of
injury.
Let an overheated engine cool down before
opening the hood. If there is a fire in the
engine compartment, keep the hood closed
and contact the fire department.
!A display message is shown if the coolant
temperature is too high.
If the coolant temperature is over 248 ‡
(120 †), do not continue driving. The
engine will otherwise be damaged.
The coolant temperature gage is in the instru-
ment cluster on the right-hand side
(
Ypage 31). Under normal operating conditions and with
the specified coolant level, the coolant tem-
perature may rise to 248 ‡ (120 †).

Once programed, 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
instructions for the garage door system.
When programming a garage door opener,
park the vehicle outside the garage. Do not
run the engine while programming.
Certain garage door drives are incompatible
with the integrated garage door opener. If you
have difficulty programing the integrated
garage door opener, contact an authorized

Important safety notes
GWAR NING
When you operate or program the garage door
wit h the integrated garage door opener, per-
sons inthe range of movement of the garage
door can become trapped or struck bythe
garage door. There isa risk of injury.
When using the integrated garage door
opener, always make sure that nobody is
wit hin the range of movement of the garage
door.
GWARNING
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 inenclosed spaces with-
out sufficient ventilation.

When indicator lamp :flashes green: pro-
graming was successful. The next step is to

Ypage 291).
XRelease button Bon remote control Afor
the garage door drive system.
If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat the
programing procedure for the correspond-
ing button on the rear-view mirror. When
doing so, vary the distance between remote
control Aand the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between remote
control Aand the integrated garage door
opener depends on the garage door drive
system. Several attempts might be neces-
sary. You should test every position for at
least 25 seconds before trying another
position.
Synchronizing the rolling code
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(
Ypage 290).
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronize the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this you
will need to use the programing button on the
control panel of the door drive. The program- ing button may be positioned in different pla-
ces depending on the manufacturer. It is usu-
ally located on the door drive unit on the
garage ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door
drive operating instructions, e.g. under "Pro- graming of additional remote controls",
before carrying out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the
garage door or gate opener drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.
XTurn the SmartKey to position
2in the igni-
tion lock (
Ypage 147).
XGet out of the vehicle.
XPress the programing button on the door
drive unit.
Usually , you now have 30 secon
ds to ini-
tiate the next step.
XGet into the vehicle.
XPress previously programed button ;,=
or ? on the integrated garage door opener
repeatedly until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then
complete.
Notes on programing 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 garage door
opener. The signal is not recognized during
programing. Comparable with Canadian law,
some U.S. garage door openers also feature a
"break".
Proceed as follows:
Rif you live in Canada
Rif you have difficulties programing the
garage door opener (regardless of where
you live) when using the programing steps.
XPress and hold one of buttons ;to? on
the integrated garage door opener.
After a short time, indicator lamp :lights
up yellow.
XRelease the button.

Calibrating the compass
Notes
In order to calibrate the compass correctly,
do the following:
Rcalibrate the compass in the open and not
in the vicinity of steel structures or high-
voltage transmission lines.
Rswitch off electrical consumers such as the
climate control, windshield wipers or rear
window defroster.
Rclose all doors and the trunk lid.
Calibrating
XMake sure that there is sufficient space for
you to drive in a circle without impeding
traffic.
XSwitch on the ignition.
XPush a round pen into opening =for
approximately six seconds, until symbol C
is shown in compass display;.
XDrive your vehicle in a full circle at approx-
imately 3 mph (5 km/h) to 6 mph
(10 km/h).
