Important safety notes G
WARNING
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. G
WARNING
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 indicator lamp :lights up green: pro-
gramming is finished.
When indicator lamp :flashes green: pro-
gramming was successful. The next step is to synchronise the rolling code (Y page 327).
X Release button Bof remote control Aof the
garage door drive.
If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat the
programming process for the corresponding
button on the rear-view mirror. When doing
so, vary the distance between remote control A and the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between remote con-
trol Aand the integrated garage door opener
depends on the garage door drive system.
Several attempts may be required. You
should test every position for at least
25 seconds before trying another position.
Synchronising the rolling code
Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 326).
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronise 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 programming but-
ton may be placed at different locations depend- ing on the manufacturer. It is usually located on
the door drive unit on the garage ceiling.
Familiarise yourself with the garage door drive
operating instructions, e.g. under "Program-
ming of additional remote controls", before car-
rying out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within range of the garage
door or gate opener drive. Make sure that nei-
ther your vehicle nor any persons/objects are
present within the sweep of the door or gate.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 148).
X Get out of the vehicle.
X Press the programming button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to initiate
the next step. X
Get into the vehicle.
X Press previously programmed button ;,=
or ? of the integrated garage door opener
until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronisation is then com- plete.
Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated garage door opener, please note the following:
R Check the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive remote control Aand
whether it is supported. The transmitter fre-
quency can usually be found on the back of
remote control Afor the garage door drive.
R Replace the batteries in garage door remote
control A. This increases the likelihood that
garage door remote control Awill transmit a
strong and precise signal to the integrated
garage door opener in the rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold remote control A
at varying distances and angles from but-
tons ;to? which you are programming. Try
various angles at a distance between 5and
20 cm or at the same angle but at varying
distances.
R If another remote control Ais available for
the same garage door drive, perform the pro-
gramming steps again using this remote con- trol A. Before performing these steps, make
sure that new batteries have been fitted in
garage door drive remote control A.
R Note that some remote controls transmit only
for a limited period (the indicator lamp on theremote control goes out). Press button Bon
remote control Aagain before transmission
ends.
R Align the aerial cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated garage door
opener will assume the function of the garage
door system's remote control. Please also read

Bonnet
Important safety notes G
WARNING
An unlocked bonnet may open up when the
vehicle is in motion and block your view. There is a risk of an accident.
Never unlock the bonnet when driving. Before
every trip, ensure that the bonnet is locked. G
WARNING
When being opened and closed, the bonnet
may suddenly fall into the closed position.
There is a risk of injury to persons in the range of movement of the bonnet.
Open and close the bonnet only when nobody
is in the range of movement. G
WARNING
If you open the bonnet while the engine is
overheating or while there is a fire in the
engine compartment, you could come into
contact with hot gases or other leaking ser-
vice products. There is a danger of injury.
Allow an overheating engine to cool down
before opening the bonnet. If there is a fire in the engine compartment, leave the bonnet
closed and notify the fire brigade. G
WARNING
There are moving components in the engine
compartment. Certain components may con-
tinue to move or suddenly move again even
after the ignition has been switched off, e.g.
the radiator fan. There is a risk of injury.
If you have to carry out work in the engine
compartment:
R switch off the ignition
R never touch the dangerous areas surround-
ing moving components, e.g. the rotation
area of the fan R
remove jewellery and watches
R keep items of clothing and hair, for exam-
ple, away from moving parts. G
WARNING
The ignition system and the fuel injection sys- tem operate with a high voltage. If you touch
the live components, you could receive an
electric shock. There is a danger of injury.
Never touch components of the ignition sys-
tem or the fuel injection system when the
ignition is switched on.
Active bonnet (pedestrian protection) Operating principle
! An active bonnet that had been triggered
must be repaired at a qualified specialist
workshop. The active bonnet function will
then be available again. The additional pedes- trian protection provided by the active bonnet will then be restored.
i The active bonnet is available only for cer-
tain countries. It is available for all models,
except for the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63.
The active bonnet can reduce the risk of injury to
pedestrians in certain accident situations. Rais- ing the active bonnet increases the clearance tohard components, such as the engine.
If the active bonnet has been triggered, it is
raised at the rear in the area around the hinge byapproximately 100 mm. The active bonnet is
triggered by pyrotechnics.
For the drive to the workshop, reset the trig-
gered active bonnet yourself. After being reset,
the active bonnet rests in the area of the hinges
on the seals, and the hinges do not engage. For this reason, we recommend that you do not
exceed a maximum permissible speed of
130 km/h on the way to the workshop. If the
active bonnet has been triggered, pedestrian
protection may be limited. 332

Resetting
X
With your hand flat near the hinges (arrows),
push down active bonnet :until it rests on
the seals.
Opening the bonnet G
WARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment could be very hot, e.g. the engine, the
radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
There is a risk of injury when accessing the
engine compartment.
As far as possible, allow the engine to cool
down and only touch the components descri- bed in the following. G
WARNING
When the bonnet is open, and the windscreen wipers are set in motion, you can be injured by
the wiper linkage. There is a risk of injury.
Always switch off the windscreen wipers and
the ignition before opening the bonnet.
! Make sure that the windscreen wipers are
not folded away from the windscreen. Other-
wise, you could damage the windscreen wip-
ers or the bonnet. X
Make sure that the windscreen wipers are
switched off.
X Pull release lever :on the bonnet.
The bonnet is released. X
Reach into the gap, pull bonnet catch han-
dle ;up and lift the bonnet.
If you lift the bonnet by approximately 40 cm, the bonnet is opened and held open automat-
ically by the gas-filled strut.
Closing the bonnet X
Lower the bonnet and let it fall from a height
of approximately 20 cm.
X Check that the bonnet has engaged properly.
If the bonnet can be raised slightly, it is not
properly engaged. Open it again and close it
with a little more force. Radiator
Vehicles with a diesel engine: do not cover
the radiator. Do not use thermal mats, insect
protection covers or anything similar. Doing so
can cause the Onboard Diagnostics System to
display inaccurate values. Some of these values are legally required and must always be correct. Engine compartment
