grated garage door opener if there are no per-
sons or objects present within the sweep of
the garage door. Persons could otherwise be
injured as the door moves. Integrated garage door opener in the rear-view mir-
ror Garage door remote control
Ais not part of
this integrated garage door opener.
i To achieve the best results, insert new
batteries in garage door remote control
A before programming.
X Before programming for the first time, clear
the memory of the integrated garage door
opener (Y page 296).
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press and hold one of transmitter but-
tons ;to? on the integrated garage door
opener.
After a short time, indicator lamp :starts
flashing yellow.
i Indicator lamp :flashes yellow immedi-
ately the first time that the transmitter but-
ton is programmed. If this transmitter but-
ton has already been programmed, indica-
tor lamp :only starts flashing yellow after
10 seconds have elapsed.
X Release the transmitter button.
X Point transmitter button Bof garage door
remote control Atowards the transmitter
buttons on the rear-view mirror at a dis-
tance of 5 to 20 cm.
i The required distance between garage
door remote control Aand the integrated
door opener depends on the garage door
drive system. You might require several
attempts. You should test every position for
at least 25 seconds before trying another
position.
X Press and hold transmitter button Bon

If indicator lamp
:lights up red:
X Repeat the programming procedure for the
transmitter buttons. When doing so, vary
the distance betwee nthe garage door drive
remote control and the rear-view mirror.
i If the indicator lamp flashes green after
successful programming, the garage door
system is using a rolling code. After pro-
gramming, you must synchronise the
garage door opener integrated in the rear-
view mirror with the receiver of the garage
door system.
Synchronising the rolling code
Your vehicle must be within reach of the
garage or gate opener drive. Make sure that
neither 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 synchronisation.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press the programming button of the door
or gate drive (see the door or gate drive
operating instructions, e.g. under "Pro-
gramming of additional remote controls").
i Usually, you now have 30 seconds to ini-
tiate the next step.
X Press the previously programmed button of
the integrated HomeLink ®
garage door
opener repeatedly until the door starts to
move.
The rolling code synchronisation is then
complete.
Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated garage door opener, please note
the following:
R check the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control A(this can usually be
found on the rear of the remote control).
R change the batteries in garage door remote
control A.This increases the likelihood that garage door remote control
Awill
send a strong and precise signal to the
integrated remote control in the rear-view
mirror.
R when programming, hold garage door
remote control Aat different distances
and angles from the transmitter button that
you are programming. Try various angles at
a distance of between 5 and 30 cm or the
same angle but varying distances.
R if there is another remote control for the
same garage door drive, perform the pro-
gramming steps again using this remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
fitted in the garage door drive remote con-
trol.
R note that some remote controls transmit
only for a limited period (the indicator lamp
on the remote control goes out). Press the
button on the remote control again before
transmission ends.
R align the aerial cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated garage
door opener will assume the function of the
garage door system's remote control. Please
also read the operating instructions for the
garage door system.

G
WARNING
Only charge the battery in a well-ventilated
area. As the battery is being charged, gases
can escape and generate minor explosions.
This could injure you and other persons or
cause damage to the paintwork or acid cor-
rosion on the vehicle.
You can obtain information about battery
chargers which allow the battery to be
charged while still installed from a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz
Service Centre. G
WARNING
There is a risk of acid burns during the charg-
ing process due to the gases which escape
from the battery. Do not lean over the battery
during the charging process. G
WARNING
Battery acid is caustic. Avoid contact with the
skin, eyes or clothing.
! Only charge the installed battery with a
battery charger which has been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz .These battery
chargers allow the battery to be charged
while still installed. !
Only use battery chargers with a maxi-
mum charging voltage of 14.8 V.
! Only charge the battery using the jump-
start connection point.
The jump-starting connection point is in the
engine compartment (Y page 329).
X Open the bonnet (Y page 301).
X Connect the battery charger to the positive
terminal and earth point in the same order
as when connecting the donor battery in
the jump-starting procedure
(Y page 329).
X Read the battery charger's operating
instructions before charging the battery. 328

.You can
also consult a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
! Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the cooling system will not be
sufficiently protected from corrosion, and
the boiling point will be too low.
If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in
the correc tconcentration, the boiling point of
the coolant will be around 130 †.
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should:
R be at least 50%. This will protec tthe engine
cooling system against freezing down to
around -37 †.
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -45 †); otherwise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with
equal amounts of water and antifreeze/cor-
rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
which has been approved for Mercedes-Benz.
! The engine cooling system is filled with
coolant that must be renewed after 15
years, or after 250,000 km at the latest. Vehicle data
