the vehicle should not enter or leave. You will
be informed if the vehicle crosses the boun-
daries of the selected areas. You can select
the way in which you receive this information beforehand. Possible options include text
message, e-mail or an automated call. The area can be determined as either a circle
or a polygon with a maximum of ten corners.
You can specify up to ten areas simultane-
ously. Different settings are possible for each area.
USA only: these settings can be called up
under "Owners Online" at http://
www.mbusa.com.

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
on garage doors that:
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

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.

(
Ypage 366).
XRelease buttonBon 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 365).
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 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 swe ep of the
door or ga

te.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the igni-
tion lock (
Ypage 165).
XGet out of the vehicle.
XPress the programming button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to ini-
tiate the next step.
XGet into the vehicle.
XPress previously programmed button ;,
= or? on the integrated garage door
opener multiple times 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

If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat the

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 control Aand
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 amoun
t of time (the indi-
cator lamp on the remote control goes out).
Press button Bon 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 2in the igni-
tion lock (
Ypage 165).
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.
