Loading guidelines
GWARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
trunk lid is open when the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion. There is a
risk of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the trunk lid. Never drive with the trunk lid
open.
GWARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, particu-
larly in the event of sudden braking or a sud-
den change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
GWARNING
The exhaust tail pipe and tail pipe trim can
become very hot. If you come into contact
with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn
yourself. There is a risk of injury.
Always be particularly careful around the
exhaust tail pipe and the tail pipe trim. Allow
these components to cool down before touch-
ing them.
The handling characteristics of a laden vehicle
are dependent on the distribution of the load
within the vehicle. For this reason, you should
observe the following notes when transporting a
load:
RNever exceed the maximum permissible
gross vehicle mass or the gross axle weight
rating for the vehicle (including occupants).
The values are specified on the vehicle iden- tification plate on the B-pillar of the driver's
door.
RThe trunk is the preferred place to carry
objects.
RPosition heavy loads as far forwards as pos-
sible and as low down in the trunk as possible.
RThe load must not protrude above the upper
edge of the seat backrests.
RAlways place the load behind unoccupied
seats if possible.
RSecure the load with sufficiently strong and
wear-resistant tie-downs. Pad sharp edges for
protection.
Stowage spaces
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If objects in the passenger compartment are
stowed incorrectly, they can slide or be
thrown around and hit vehicle occupants. In
addition, cupholders, open stowage spaces
and mobile phone brackets cannot always
retain all objects they contain. There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of sudden
braking or a sudden change in direction.
RAlways stow objects so that they cannot be
thrown around in such situations.
RAlways make sure that objects do not pro-
trude from stowage spaces, parcel nets or
stowage nets.
RClose the lockable stowage spaces before
starting a journey.
RAlways stow and secure heavy, hard, poin-
ted, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky objects in
the trunk.
Observe the loading guidelines (

Several attempts might be necessary. 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 269).
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 programming button
may be located 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 "Program-
ming additional remote controls", before carry-
ing out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach 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.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the ignition
lock (Ypage 121).
XGet out of the vehicle.
XPress the programming button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to initiate
the next step.
XGet into the vehicle.
XPress previously programed button 0044,0087
or 0085 on the integrated garage door opener
repeatedly and in quick succession until the
door closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then com- plete.
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 open-
ers also feature 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

hts up green: pro-
gramming is finished.
When indicator lamp 0043flashes green: pro-
gramming was successful. The next step is to
synchronize the rolling code.
XRelease button 0084of remote control 0083of the
garage door drive.
If indicator lamp 0043lights up red: repeat the
programming process for the corresponding
button on the rear-view mirror. When doing
so, vary the distance between remote control
0083 and the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between remote con-
trol 0083and the integrated garage door opener
depends on the garage door drive system.
Several attempts might be necessary. You
should test every position for at least
25 seconds before trying another position.
Problems when programming
If you are experiencing 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 0083and
whether it is supported. The transmitter fre-
quency can usually be found on the back of
remote control 0083for the garage door drive.
270Features
Stowage and features
The garage door opener is compatible with
devices which operate in the frequency range
of 280 to 433 MHz.
RReplace the batteries in garage door remote
control0083. This increases the likelihood that
garage door remote control 0083will transmit a
strong and precise signal to the integrated
garage door opener.
RWhen programming, hold remote control 0083
at varying distances and angles from but-
tons 0044to0085 which you are programming. Try
various angles at a distance between 2and
8 inches (5to 20 cm) or at the same angle but
at varying distances.
RIf another remote control 0083is available for
the same garage door drive, repeat the same
programming steps with this remote control
0083. Before performing these steps, make sure
that new batteries have been installed in
garage door drive remote control 0083.
RNote that some remote controls only transmit
for a limited amount of time (the indicator
lamp on the remote control goes out). Press
button0084on remote control 0083again before
transmission ends.
RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
