control.
Indicator lamp :starts to flash after a
short while. It flashes about once a second.
i Indicator lamp :flashes immediately
the first time the transmitter button is pro-
grammed. If this transmitter button has

garage door drive. You might require sev-
eral attempts. You should test every posi-
tion for at least 20 seconds before trying
another position.

door's remote control depressed until indi-
cator lamp :starts to flash rapidly.
The programming was successful if indica-
tor lamp :flashes rapidly.

imately 20 seconds and did not flash rapidly
before this:

integrated and portable remote controls.
X Repeat the programming procedure. When
doing so, change the distance between the
garage door's remote control and the trans-
mitter buttons in the rear-view mirror.
i If the garage door system works with a
rolling code, after programming you must synchronise the remote control integrated
in the rear-view mirror with the garage door
system receiver.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on "Synchro-
nising the transmitter" or "Registering a
new transmitter". You can also call the hot-
line mentioned above.

Care and cleaning products
Regular care of your vehicle is a condition for
retaining the quality in the long term.
To care for your vehicle, use the care and
cleaning products recommended and
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
! For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any
of the following:
R dry, coarse or rough cloths
R abrasive cleaning agents
R solvents
R cleaning agents containing solvents
and do not scour.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective
films with hard objects, e.g. rings or ice
scrapers. You can otherwise scratch or
damage the surfaces or protective films. H
Environmental note
Dispose of empty packaging, cleaning cloths
and polishing wads in an environmentally
responsible manner.
! Do not park the vehicle for a long period
of time directly after cleaning, especially if
the wheels have just been cleaned with a
wheel cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
rapid corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. After cleaning, park
the vehicle when it is at normal operating
temperature. Exterior care
Automatic car wash G
Risk of accident
The vehicle is braked when Hold or Distronic
Plus* is activated. Therefore, deactivate Hold
and Distronic Plus before the vehicle is
washed in an automatic car wash.
You can wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash from the beginning.
! We recommend automatic car washes
with an adjustable 36
high-pressure pre-
cleaning program. In car washes that use
high water pressures, there is a danger that
a small quantity of water may leak into the
vehicle.
If the vehicle is very dirty, pre-wash it before
cleaning it in an automatic car wash.
! Make sure that the automatic car wash is
suitable for the size of the vehicle. Fold in
the exterior mirrors before the vehicle is
washed. There is otherwise a risk of dam-
age to the exterior mirrors.
! When washing your vehicle in a tow-
through car wash, make sure that the auto-
matic transmission is in position N, other-
wise the vehicle could be damaged.
36 In accordance with the specifications for cabriolet programs. Care

Troubleshooting
Points to remember
G
Risk of accident and injury
The operating safety of your vehicle may be affected if service work is carried out incorrectly.
You could lose control of your vehicle and cause an accident. In addition, the safety systems may
no longer be able to protect you or others as they are designed to do.
Always have service work performed at a qualified specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this purpose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. Warning and indicator lamps in switches, buttons and exterior mirrors
