2018 MERCEDES-BENZ G-CLASS mirror controls

XTo start programming mode:press and
hold one of buttons ;to? on the integrated
garage door opener.
The garage door opener is now in program-
ming mode. After a short time, indicator
lamp :will start flashing. It flashes approx-
imately once per second.
Indicator lamp :flashes immediately the
first time that the transmitter button is pro-
grammed. If this transmitter button has
already been programmed, indicator lamp :
will only start flashing at a rate of once a sec-
ond after 20 seconds have elapsed.
XContinue to hold the transmitter button.
XTo program the remote control: point
transmitter button Bof remote control A
towards the transmitter buttons on the rear-
view mirror at a distance of 2 to 12 in (5 to
30 cm).
XKeep transmitter button Bon remote control
A pressed until indicator lamp :starts to
flash rapidly.
When indicator lamp :flashes rapidly: pro-
gramming is finished.
XRelease transmitter buttons ;,=or? on
the integrated remote control and transmitter
button Bon remote control A.
If indicator lamp :does not flash rapidly and
goes out after approximately 20 second s:
repeat the programming process for the cor-
responding button on the rear-view mirror.
When doing so, vary the distance between
remote control Aand the rear-view mi
rror.
The required distance between remote con-
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
20 seconds before trying another position.
If the garage door system works with a rolling
code, you must synchronize the remote control
integrated in the rear-view mirror with the
garage door system receiver after program-
ming.
You can find further information on this in the
operating instructions of the garage door sys-
tem.
Synchronizing the rolling code
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Ypage 227).
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.
Observe the safety notes when performing the
rolling code synchronization (
Ypage 227).
XTurn the SmartKey to position
2in the igni-
tion lock (Ypage 105).
XGet out of the vehicle.
XPress the programming button on the door
drive unit.
You now have 30 seconds to initiate the next
step.
XGet into the vehicle.
XPress previously programmed button ;,=
or ? on the integrated garage door opener
repeatedly until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronization i
s 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 remote control to recognize the sig-
nal during programming. Comparable with
Canadian law, American garage door openers
also have a built-in "interruption".
Proceed as follows:
Rif you live in Canada.
Rif you have difficulties programming the
garage door opener (regardless of where you
live) when following the programming steps.
XPress and hold one of buttons ;to? on the
integrated garage door opener until the inte-
grated remote control is successfully set up.
XSimultaneously press transmitter button B
on remote control Aand hold for two sec-

onds. Then let go for 2 seconds, press again
and hold for 2 seconds.
XRepeat this sequence on transmitter button
Bon remote control Auntil the frequency
signal is established.
XIf the setup procedure is successful, indicator
lamp :flashes once slowly and goes out
after a few seconds.
If indicator lamp :does not flash slowly and
then go out: repeat the programming process
for the corresponding 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 con-
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
20 seconds before trying another position.
The required distance between remote control
A and the integrated garage door opener
depends on the garage door drive system. Sev-
eral attempts might be necessary. You should
test every position for at least 25 seconds
before trying another position.
Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the fol-
lowing:
RCheck 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.
The integrated remote control is compatible
with devices that have units which operate in
the frequency range of 280 to 390 MHz.
RReplace the batteries in remote control A.
This increases the probability of remote con-
trol Asending a strong and precise signal to
the integrated remote control on the rear-
view mirror.
RWhen programming, hold remote control A
at varying distances and angles from the
transmitter button that you are programming.
Try various angles at a distance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
RIf a further remote control Ais available for
the same garage door drive, repeat the same
programming steps with this remote control A. 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 transmit
for a limited amount of time (the indicator
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 trans-
mission.
Opening/closing the garage door
Once programmed, the integrated remote con-
trol will assume the function of the garage door
system's remote control. Please also read the
operating instructions for the garage door sys-
tem.
XTurn the SmartKey to position in the ignition
lock 2(Ypage 105).
XPress one of buttons ;to? on the integra-
ted remote control in the rear-view mirror that
is programmed to operate the garage door.
Garage door system with fixed code: indicator
lamp :lights up continuously.
Garage door system with rolling code: indica-
tor lamp :flashes briefly and then lights up
for approximately two seconds. This is repea-
ted for up to 20 seconds.
The transmitter will transmit a signal for as
long as the transmitter button is being
pressed. The transmission will be halted after a maximum of 20 seconds and indicator
lamp :will flash. Press the transmitter but-
ton again if necessary.
XPress button ;,=or? again if necessary.
Clearing the memory
Make sure that you clear the memory of the
integrated garage door opener before selling the
vehicle.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2
(Ypage 105) in the ignition lock.
XPress and hold transmitter buttons ;and ?
for approximately 20 seconds until indicator
lamp :flashes rapidly.
The memory of the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror is cleared.
