Geo fencing
Geo fencing allows you to select areas which
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.
These settings can be called up under "Own-
ers Online" at http://www.mbusa.com.
Alternatively, you can trigger an MB Info call
and inform the customer service representa-
tive that you wish to activate geo fencing.
Currently inactive areas can be activated by
text message.
Triggering the vehicle alarm
With this function, you can trigger the vehi-
cle's panic alarm via text message. An alarm
sounds and the exterior lighting flashes.
Depending on the setting, the panic alarm
lasts five or ten seconds. Afterwards, the
alarm switches off.
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
garage door opener, contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Alternatively, you can call the following tele-
phone assistance services:
RUSA: Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance
Center at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes
RCanada: Customer Service at
1-800-387-0100
RHomeLink®hotline 1-800-355-3515 (free

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.
332Features
Stowage and features
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.

grated garage door opener.
The garage door opener is now in program-
ing mode. After a short time, indicator

When indicator lamp :lights up green:
programing is finished.
When indicator lamp :flashes green: pro-
graming was successful. The next step is to
synchronize the rolling code (
Ypage 333).
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 332).
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 t
he 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 position2in the igni-
tion lock (
Ypage 153).
XGet out of the vehicle.
XPress the programing button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds 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.
Indicator lamp :flashes yellow.
XPress button Bof garage door remote

XPress button Bagain for two seconds.
XRepeat this sequence on button Bof

When indicator lamp :lights up green:
programing is finished.
When indicator lamp :flashes green: pro-
graming was successful. The next step is to
synchronize the rolling code.
XRelease button Bof remote control Aof
the garage door drive.
If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat the
programing process for the corresponding
button on the rear-view mirror. When doing
so, vary the distance between remote con-
trol Aand the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between remote
control A
and t
he 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.
Problems when programing
If you experience problems programing the
integrated garage door opener on the rear-
view mirror, take note of the following instruc-
tions:
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 programing, hold remote control A
at varying distances and angles from the
button which you are programing. Try vari-
334Features
Stowage and features
ous 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
programing steps with this remote control. 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 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 assumes the function of
the garage door system's remote control.
Please also read the operating instructions
for the garage door system.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the igni-
tion lock (
Ypage 153).
XPress button ;,=or? that has been
programmed to operate the garage door.

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

Make sure that all objects in the vehicle are
stowed correctly, and that they cannot enter
the driver's footwell. Install the floormats
securely and as specified in order to ensure
sufficient clearance for the pedals. Do not use
loose floormats and do not place floormats on
top of one another.
XSlide the relevant seat back.
XTo install: place the floormat in the foot-
well.
