systems.
iCertain 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. You can also contact the following service hotlines:

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.
When programming a garage door opener, park
the vehicle outside the garage. Do not run the
engine while programming.

XDelete the memory of the integrated remote

for the first time.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the ignition

XContinue to hold the transmitter button.
XPoint transmitter button Bof garage door

buttons on the rear-view mirror at a distance
of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm).
iThe distance between garage door remote
control Aand the integrated garage door
opener depends on the system of the garage
door drive. Several attempts might be neces-
sary. You should test every position for at
least 20 seconds before trying another posi-
tion.
XKeep transmitter button Bon garage door

If indicator lamp :goes out after approx-
imately 20 seconds and has not flashed rapidly:
XRelease transmitter buttons ;,=or? on

XRepeat the procedure for the other transmit-
ter buttons. When doing so, vary the distance
between the garage door's remote control
and the transmitter buttons in the rear-view
mirror.
iIf the garage door system works with a roll-
ing code, you must synchronize the remote
control integrated in the rear-view mirror with the garage door system receiver after pro-
gramming.
You will find further information in the garage
door opening system's operating instruc-
tions, e.g. the sections on "Synchronizing the
transmitter" or "Registering a new transmit-
ter". You can also call the hotline 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 sig-
nal 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 (regardless of
where you live) when using the programming
steps, proceed as follows:

:
Indicator lamp
;=?Transmitter buttons
AGarage door remote control
BTransmitter button on the garage

XKeep the transmitter button ( ;,=or?)
depressed until the integrated remote control
has been set up successfully.
XSimultaneously press transmitter button B
on the garage door remote control and hold
for 2 seconds. Then let go for 2 seconds,
press again and hold for 2 seconds.
XRepeat this sequence on transmitter button
B of the garage door remote control until the
frequency signal has been saved.
XIf the setup procedure is successful, indicator
lamp :flashes once slowly and goes out
after a few seconds.
XContinue with the other programming steps
(see above).

If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the fol-
lowing:
RCheck the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control A(which can usually be
found on the back of the remote control).
The integrated remote control is compatible
with devices that have units which operate in the frequency range of 280 to 390 MHz.
Rreplace 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.
RWhen programming, hold garage door remote
control Aat varying distances and angles
Features233
Stowage and features
Z
from the transmitter button which you are
programming. Try various angles at a distance
between2and 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or at the
same angle but at varying distances.
RIf there is another garage door remote control
for the same device, perform the program-
ming steps again using that garage door
opener. Before performing these steps, make
sure that new batteries have been installed in
the garage door remote control.
RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal trans-
mission.
