Geo fencing
Geo fencing allows you to select areas which
the vehicle should not enter or leave. You will
be informed if the vehicle crosses the
boundaries of the selected areas. You can
select the way in which you receive this
information beforehand. Possible options
include text message, e-mail or an automated
call.
The area can be determined as either a circle
or a polygon with a maximum of ten corners.
You can specify up to ten areas
simultaneously. Different settings are
possible for each area.
USA only: these settings can be called up
under "Owners Online" at http://
www.mbusa.com.
Alternatively, you can trigger an MB Info call
and inform the customer service
representative that you wish to activate geo
fencing.
Currently inactive areas can be activated by
text message.
Triggering the vehicle alarm With this function, you can trigger the
vehicle's panic alarm via text message. An
alarm sounds and the exterior lighting
flashes. Depending on the setting, the panic
alarm lasts five or ten seconds. Afterwards,
the alarm switches off. Brush guard (USA only)
G
WARNING
The brush guard is designed solely to enhance
the appearance of the vehicle and help
protect grille and headlamps from minor
mishaps, either on or off road.
Since the safety characteristics are limited in
the event of an accident, brush guard are not
intended to prevent injury or damage in the
event of an accident. Also observe state and
local regulations on installation and use. Raise and lower the brush guard in an open
space with plenty of room.
i If you wish to remove the brush guard,
contact a qualified specialist workshop. Garage door opener
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Before programming the integrated remote
control to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and objects are
out of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. When
programming a garage door opener, the door
moves up or down. When programming a gate
operator, the gate opens or closes.
Do not use the integrated remote control with
any garage door opener that lacks safety stop
and reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the door
to stop and reverse - does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards.
When programming a garage door opener,
park vehicle outside the garage.
Do not run the engine while programming the
integrated remote control. Inhalation of
exhaust gas is hazardous to your health. All
exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO),
and inhaling it can cause unconsciousness
and possible death. All exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can
cause unconsciousness and possible death.
You can use the HomeLink ®
garage door
opener integrated into the rear-view mirror to
operate up to three different gate/garage
door opener systems. 274

Point transmitter button 0083of garage door
remote control 0084towards the transmitter
buttons on the rear-view mirror at a
distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm).
i The distance between garage door
remote control 0083and the integrated
garage door opener depends on the system
of the garage door drive. Several attempts
might be necessary. You should test every
position for at least 20 seconds before
trying another position.
X Keep transmitter button 0084on garage door
remote control 0083pressed until indicator
lamp 0043starts to flash rapidly.
The programming has been successful if
indicator lamp 0043flashes rapidly.
X Release transmitter buttons 0044,0087or0085
on the integrated remote control and
transmitter button 0084on the garage door
remote control.
If indicator lamp 0043goes out after
approximately 20 seconds and has not
flashed rapidly:
X Release transmitter buttons 0044,0087or0085
on the integrated remote control and
transmitter button 0084on the garage door
remote control.
X Repeat the procedure for the other
transmitter buttons. When doing so, vary
the distance between the garage door's
remote control and the transmitter buttons
in the rear-view mirror.
i 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 programming.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on
"Synchronizing the transmitter" or
"Registering a new transmitter". You can
also call the hotline mentioned above. Synchronizing the rolling code

initiate the next step.
X Press previously programmed button 0044,
0087 or0085 of the integrated garage door
opener until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then
complete.
Notes on programming the remote
control
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission 276
FeaturesStowage and features

Page 279 of 354

signals after broadcasting for a few seconds.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated remote control to
recognize the signal during programming.
Comparable with Canadian law, American
garage door openers also have a built-in
"interruption".
If you live in Canada or have difficulties
programming the garage door opener
(regardless of where you live) when using the
programming steps, proceed as follows: Integrated remote control in the rear-view mirror
0043 Indicator lamp
004400870085 Transmitter buttons
0083 Garage door remote control
0084 Transmitter button on the garage
door remote control
X Keep the transmitter button (0044, 0087or0085)
depressed until the integrated remote
control has been set up successfully.
X At the same time, press transmitter button
0084 of the garage door remote control for
two seconds, then release it for two
seconds, then press it again for two
seconds.
X Repeat this sequence on transmitter
button 0084of the garage door remote
control until the frequency signal has been
saved.
X If the setup procedure is successful,
indicator lamp 0043flashes once slowly and
goes out after a few seconds.
X Continue with the other programming
steps (see above). Problems when programming

If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the
following:
R Check the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control 0083(which can usually
be found on the back of the remote
control).
The integrated remote control is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280 to 390 MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control 0083. This increases the
probability of garage door remote control
0083 sending a strong and more precise
signal to the integrated remote control on
the rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold garage door
remote control 0083at varying distances and
angles from the transmitter button which
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.
R If there is another garage door remote
control for the same device, perform the
programming steps again using that garage Features
277Stowage and features Z

door opener. Before performing these
steps, make sure that new batteries have
been inserted in the garage door remote
control.
R Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.

as long as the transmitter button is being
pressed. The transmission will be halted after a maximum of 20 seconds and
indicator lamp
0043will flash. Press the

G
WARNING
Whenever you are using a floormat, make sure
there is enough clearance and that the
floormat is securely fastened.
The floormat should always be securely
fastened using the fastening equipment.
Before driving off, check that the floormat is
securely in place and adjust it if necessary. A
loose floormat could slip and hinder proper
functioning of the pedals.
Do not place several floormats on top of each
other as this may impair pedal movement. 278
