This chapter describes all standard, country-spejcific and optional features offered with the series. It also describes features that are not necessarilyavailable in your vehicle, e. g., due to the selectedoptions or country versions. This also applies to
safety-related functions and systems. When usj
ing these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations must be observed.
Interior

quality
The air quality inside the vehicle is improved by
an emissions-tested interior, a microfilter, and a
climate-control system for regulating temperaj
ture, air flow, and recirculated-air mode.
In addition there are other functions which dej
pend on the vehicle's equipment, for instance
microfilter/activated-charcoal filter, automatic clij

Integrated
Universal Remote
Control
Concept
The integrated Universal Remote Control in the interior mirror can operate up to 3 functions of remote-controlled systems, such as garage doordrives, barriers, or lighting systems. The
Integrated Universal Remote Control replaces up to 3 different hand-held transmitters. To operate
the remote control, the buttons on the interior mirror must be programmed with the desiredfunctions. The hand-held transmitter for the parj
ticular system is required in order to program the
remote control.
Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored funcj tions for the sake of security.
Safety
information
WARNING
Body parts can be jammed when operating rej
mote-controlled systems, such as the garage door, using the integrated Universal Remote
Control. There is a risk of injury or risk of damj
age to property. Make sure that the area of
movement of the respective system is clear during programming and operation. Also follow
the safety information of the hand-held transj
mitter.
Compatibility If this symbol is printed on the packaging
or in the owner's manual of the system to
be controlled, the system is generally
compatible with the integrated Universal Remote
Control.

Programming
General
information1.Switch on the ignition.2.Initial setup:
Press and hold the two outer buttons on the
interior mirror simultaneously for approxij
mately 20 seconds until the LED on the intej rior mirror flashes. This erases all programj
ming of the buttons on the interior mirror.3.Hold the hand-held transmitter for the system to be controlled approx. 1 to 3 inches/2.5 to
8 cm away from the buttons of the interior mirror. The required distance depends on the
hand-held transmitter.4.Simultaneously press and hold the button of
the desired function on the hand-held transj
mitter and the button to be programmed on the interior mirror. The LED on the interiormirror will begin flashing slowly.5.Release both buttons as soon as the LED
flashes more rapidly. The LED flashing faster indicates that the button on the interior mirrorhas been programmed.
If the LED does not flash faster after at least
60 seconds, change the distance between
the interior mirror and the hand-held transj mitter and repeat the step. Several more atj
tempts at different distances may be necesj
sary. Wait at least 15 seconds between
attempts.
Canada: if programming with the hand-held transmitter was interrupted, hold down the inj
terior mirror button and repeatedly press and
release the hand-held transmitter button for
2 seconds.6.To program other functions on other buttons,
repeat steps 3 to 5.
The systems can be controlled using the interior
mirror buttons.
Special
feature
of
the
rolling
code
wireless
system
If you are unable to operate the system after rej
peated programming, please check if the system to be controlled features a rolling code radio sysjtem.
Read the system's owner's manual, or press the
programmed button on the interior mirror longer. If the LED on the interior mirror starts flashing
rapidly and then stays lit constantly for 2 secj onds, the system features a rolling code radiosystem. Flashing and continuous illumination ofthe LED will repeat for approximately 20 secj
onds.
For systems with a rolling code radio system, the
integrated Universal Remote Control and the
system also have to be synchronized.
Please read the owner's manual to find out how to synchronize the system.
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a second
person.
Synchronizing the universal remote control with the system:1.Park the vehicle within range of the remote-
controlled system.2.Program the desired button on the interior mirror as described.3.Locate and press the synchronizing button
on the system being programmed. You have approx. 30 seconds for the next step.4.Hold down the programmed button on the injterior mirror for approximately 3 seconds andthen release it. If necessary, repeat this step
up to three times in order to finish synchronij
zation. Once synchronization is complete, the
programmed function will be carried out.
