Active Parking Assist may possibly indicate
parking spaces which are not suitable for
parking, for example:
Rwhere parking or stopping is prohibited
Rin front of driveways or entrances and exits
Ron unsuitable surfaces
Parking tips:
ROn narrow roads, drive as close to the park-
ing space as possible.
RParking spaces that are littered or over-
grown might be identified or measured
incorrectly.
RParking spaces that are partially occupied
by trailer drawbars might not be identified
as such or be measured incorrectly.
RSnowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
space being measured inaccurately.
RPay attention to the PARKTRONIC
(
Ypage 170 )warning messages during the
parking procedure.
RYou can intervene in the steering procedure
to correct it at any time. Active Parking
Assist will then be canceled.
RWhen transporting a load which protrudes
from your vehicle, you should not use
Active Parking Assist.
RNever use Active Parking Assist when snow
chains are installed.
RMake sure that the tire pressures are
always correct. This has a direct influence
on the parking characteristics of the vehi-
cle.
Use Active Parking Assist for parking spaces:
Rparallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel
Rthat are on straight roads, not bends
Rthat are on the same level as the road, e.g.
not on the pavement

Garage door opener
General notes
The HomeLink®garage door opener integra-
ted in the rear-view mirror allows you to oper-
ate up to three different door and gate sys-
tems.
Use the integrated garage door opener only

Rhave safety stop and reverse features and
Rmeet current U.S. federal safety standards
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
Mercedes-Benz Center.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
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.
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 in enclosed spaces with-
out sufficient ventilation.

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 program-
ming button may be positioned in different
places depending on the manufacturer. It is
usually located on the door drive unit on the
garage ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door
drive operating instructions, e.g. under "Pro-
gramming 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 position2in the igni-
tion lock (

XGet into the vehicle.
XPress previously programmed button ;,

opener until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then
complete.
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 garage door
opener. The signal is not recognized during
programming. Comparable with Canadian
law, some U.S. garage door openers also fea-
ture a "break". Proceed as follows:
Rif you live in Canada
Rif you have difficulties programming the
garage door opener (regardless of where
you live) when using the programming
steps.

Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems programing
the integrated garage door opener on the
rear-view mirror, take note of the following
instructions:
RCheck the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive remote controlAand
whether it is supported. The transmitter
frequency can usually be found on the back
of the garage door drive remote control.
The integrated garage door opener is com-
patible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequency range of 280 to
433 MHz.
RReplace the batteries in garage door
remote control A. This increases the like-
lihood that garage door remote control A
will transmit a strong and precise signal to
the integrated garage door opener.
RWhen programming, hold remote control
A at varying distances and angles from the
button which you are programming. Try var-
ious angles at a distance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
RIf another remote control is available for the
same garage door drive, repeat the same
programming steps with this remote con-
trol. Before performing these steps, make
sure that new batteries have been installed
in garage door drive remote control A.
RNote that some remote controls only trans-
mit for a limited amount of time (the indi-
cator lamp on the remote control goes out).
Press buttonBon remote control Aagain
before transmission ends.
RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
Opening/closing the garage door
After it has been programmed, the integrated
garage door opener performs the function of
the garage door system remote control. Please also read the operating instructions
for the garage door system.
XTurn the SmartKey to position

tion lock (
Ypage 137).
XPress button ;,=or? which you have
programmed to operate the garage door.
Garage door system with a fixed code: indi-
cator lamp :lights up green.
Garage door system with a rolling code:

The transmitter will transmit a signal as
long as the button is pressed. The trans-
mission is halted after a maximum of ten
seconds and indicator lamp :lights up
yellow.
XPress button ;,=or? again if neces-
sary.
Clearing the memory
Make sure that you clear the memory of the
integrated garage door opener before selling
the vehicle.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the igni-
tion lock (
