Programming the button: step 1 on the
control panel
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Press both of the outer buttons on the con­
trol unit
c:, page 30, fig. 25 unt il the yellow
LED @turns off and the green
LED (!) blinks.
This procedure clears the standard codes that
were set at the factory and does
not need to
be repeated again to program the other but­
tons .
3. Briefly press the button in the control panel
that you want to program.
4. Wait until the yellow LED@blinks. The pro­
gramming mode is active for five minutes.
S. Go in front of the vehicle with the original re­
mote control transmitter for the system that
you are programming to the control panel button.
Programming the button: step 2 at the
radiator grille
6. Hold the remote control transmitter at the
vehicle radiator grille
¢fig . 26 .
7. Now press the remote control transmitter
until the turn signals on your vehicle blink.
This can take up to 30 seconds.
8 . If the emergency flashers blink three times,
the programming was successful. If the
emergency flashers only blink one time, the
five-minute time limit for programming has
expired or the programming was unsuccess­
ful. Repeat the programming procedure
starting from the third step or change the
distance to the radiator grille .
Opening and closing
9. If the garage door or other systems do not
open with the Home link buttons even if the
programming was successful, the system
may use a ro lling code instead of a fixed
code. You must also then perform
rolling
code programming
c:, page 32 .
The other two buttons in the control panel can be
programmed using the instructions given above.
Start with step 3.

(D Tips
-The d istance needed between the remote
control transmitter and the Homelink mod­
ule in the radiator grille
c:, fig. 26 depends
on the system you are programming.
- Depending on the system model, you may need to release the button on the remote
cont rol transmitter while it is programming
and press it again. Hold every position you
try when programming for at least 15 sec­
onds before trying a new position. Keep an

App lies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps you to stay be­
low a specified maximum speed that can be set,
changed or deleted in the Infotainment system .
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set .
A warning tone will sound as soon as your speed
exceeds the stored value slightly. The

sage turn off when the ve hicle speed drops below
the stored maximum speed.
Sett ing a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you reach a certain
maximum speed . Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener­
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.

In certain cases, a vehicle w ill be class ified as

the sooner the display in the exterior m irror will

@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with you are indica ted in the
exterior mirror if t hey are classified as critical for
a lan e change. A ll vehicles detected by side assist
are indicated by the time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest.
@ Vehicles you are passing
If you slowly pass a vehicle that side assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than 9 mph (15 km/h)), the display in the exterior mirror turns
on as soon as the vehicle enters your blind spot.
The display wi ll not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side ass ist has detected (the differ ­
ence in speed is greater than 9 mph (15 km/h)).
Functional limitations
The radar sensors are designed to detect the left

in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti­
cal for a lane change. For example:
