When indicator lamp:flashes green: pro-
gramming was successful. The next step is to
synchronize the rolling code.
XRelease button Bof remotec ontrolAof the
garage door drive.
If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat the
programmingp rocess for the corresponding
button on the rear-view mirror. When doing
so, vary the distanc ebetween remotec ontrol
A and the rear-view mirror.
The required distanc ebetween remotec on-
trol Aand 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 not eofthe following instruc-
tions:
RCheck the transmitter frequenc yused by
garage door drive remotec ontrolAand
whether it is supported. The transmitter fre-
quency can usually be found on the back of
remotec ontrolAfor the garage door drive.
The integrated garage door opener is com-
patible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequenc yrange of 280 to
433 MHz.
RReplace the batteries in garage door remote
control A.This increases the likelihood that
garage door remotec ontrolAwill transmit a
stron gand precise signal to the integrated
garage door opener.
RWhen programming, hold remotec ontrolA
at varying distances and angles and from but-
tons ;to? which you are programming. Try
various angles at adistanc ebetween 2and
8i nches (5to 20 cm) or at the same angle but
at varying distances.
RIf another remotec ontrolAis available for
the same garage door drive, repeat the same
programmings teps with this remotec ontrol
A.B eforep erforming these steps, make sure
that new batteries have been installed in
garage door drive remotec ontrolA.
RNote that some remotec ontrols only transmit
for alimited amount of time (the indicator
lamp on t
he remotec
ontrol goes out). Press button
Bon remotec ontrolAagain before
transmission ends.
RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.

In addition to the warning lamp,amessage
appears in the multifunction display. Observe
the information on display messages
(
Ypage 196).
It may take up to ten minutes for amalfunction
of the tire pressure monitor to be indicated .A
malfunction wil lbeindicated by the tire pres-
sure warning lamp flashing for approximately
one minute and then remaining lit. When the
malfunction has been rectified, the tire pressure
warning lamp goes out after afew minutes of
driving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-
board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at agas station with apressure gauge. The
tire pressures shown by the on-board computer
refer to those measured at sea level.Ath igh
altitudes, the tire pressure values indicated by a
pressure gauge are higher than those shown by the on-board computer. In this case, do not
reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor can
be affected by interference from radi otransmit-
ting equipment (e.g. radi oheadphones, two-way
radios) that may be being operated in or near the vehicle.
Checking the tire pressure electroni-
cally

being monitored.
If an emergency spare wheel is mounted, the
system may continue to show the tire pressure of the wheel that has been removed for
afew
minutes. If this occurs, note that the valu edis-
played for the positionw here the spare wheel is
mounted is not the same as the current tire
pressure of the emergency spare wheel.

sages
If the tire pressure monitor detects apressure
loss in one or more tires, awarning messag eis
shown in the multifunction display. The yellow
tire pressure warning lamp then lights up.
RIf the Please Correct Tire Pressuremessag eappears in the multifunction display,
the tire pressure in at least one tire is too low.
The tire pressure must be corrected when the
opportunity arises.
RIf the Check Tiresmessag eappears in the
multifunction display, the tire pressure in at
least one tire has droppeds ignificantly. The
tires must be checked.
RIf the WarningTireMalfunctionmessage
appears in the multifunction display, the tire
pressure in at least one tire has droppeds ud-
denly.T he tires must be checked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in the
display messages in the "Tires" section
(
Ypage 196).
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are rotated,
the tire pressures may be displaye dfor the
wrong positions for ashort time. This is rectified
after afew minutes of driving, and the tire pres-
sures are displaye dfor the correct positions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamp sgoout. The monitor uses the cur-
rently set tire pressures as the reference values for monitoring. In most cases, the tire pressure
monitor wil lautomatically detect the new refer-
ence values after you have changed the tire
pressure. However, you can also define refer-
ence values manually as describedh ere. The tire
pressure monitor then monitors the new tire
pressure values.
XSet the tire pressure to the valu erecommen-
ded for the corresponding driving situation on
the Tire and Loading Information placard on
the driver's side B-pillar(
