2018 MERCEDES-BENZ SLC ROADSTER turn signal

Blind Spot Assist monitors the areaupto10ft
(3.0 m)behind your vehicle and directly nex tto
your vehicle, as shown in the diagram. For this
purpose, Blind Spot Assist uses radar sensor sin
the rear bumper.
If the lanes are narrow, vehicles driving in the
lane beyond the lane nex ttoyour vehicle may be
indicated, especially if the vehicles are not driv-
ing in the middle of their lane. This may be the
case if ther eare vehicles driving at the inner
edge of their lanes.
Due to the natur eofthe system:
Rwarning smay be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similar solid lane
borders.
Rwarning smay be interrupted when driving
alongside long vehicles, e.g. trucks, for apro-
longed time.

Ypage 229).
XRelease button Bon remote control Afor
the garage door drive system.
If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat the
programing procedure 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 attemptsm ight 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 228).
If the garage door system uses arolling 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 manufact

urer. 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.

(or interruption) of the transmission signals
after broadcasting for afew seconds. Therefore,
these signals may not last long enough for the
integrated garage door opener. The signal is not
recognized during programming. Comparable
