Notes on programming the remote
control
Canadianradio frequency laws require a
"break"(or interruption)ofthetransmission
signals after broadcastingforafew seconds.
Therefore, these signals may notlast long
enough for theintegratedgaragedoor
opener. The signal is notrecognized during
programming. Comparable with Canadian
law, some U.S.garage door openers also
featurea"break".

Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems
programmingthe integrated garage door
opener on the rear-view mirror, take noteof
the following instructions:
RCheck the transmitter frequencyofgarage
door drive remotecontrol.This can
usually be found on the back of the remote
control.
The integrated garage door opener is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280to433MHz.
RReplace the batteries in garage door
remote control.This increases the
likelihood that garage door remote control
will transmitastrongand precisesignal
to the integrated garage door openerinthe
rear-view mirror.
RWhen programming, hold remote control
at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programming. Try
various angles atadistance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
RIf another remote control for the same
garage door drive is available, repeat the
same programming steps with this remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
installed in garage door drive remote
control.
RNote that some remote controls only
transmit foralimited amount of time (the
indicator lamp on the remote control goes
out). Press button%on remote control
again before transmission ends.
RAlign the antennacable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.

Cleaning thewheels
!Do notuse acidic wheel cleaning products
to remove brake dust. This could damage
wheel bolts and brake components.
!Do not park the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive forafew minutes after
cleaning. Braking heats the brake discs and
the brake pads/linings, thus drying them.
The vehicle can then be parked.

The battery and the cover of the positive
terminal clamp must be installed securely
during operation.
Comply with safety precautions and take
protective measures when handling
batteries.
Risk of explosion.
Fire, open flames and smokingare
prohibited when handling the
battery. Avoid creatingsparks.
Battery acid is caustic. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Wear suitable protective clothing,
especially gloves, apron and
faceguard.
Rinse any acid spills immediately
with clear water. Contact a
physician if necessary.
Wear eye protection.
Keep children away.
Observe this Operator's Manual.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you only use batteries
which have been tested and approved for
your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.These
batteries provide increased impact
protection to prevent vehicle occupants from
suffering acid burns should the battery be
damaged in the event of an accident.
In order for the battery to achieve the
maximum possible service life, it must always
be sufficiently charged.
The vehicle battery, like other batteries, can
discharge over time if you do not use the
vehicle. In this case, have the battery
disconnected ataqualified specialist
workshop. You can also charge the battery
withacharger recommended by Mercedes-
Benz.Contactaqualified specialist workshop
for further information.
Have the battery condition of charge checked
more frequently if you use the vehicle mainly
for short trips or if you leave it standingidle
foralengthy period. Consultaqualified
specialist workshop if you wish to leave your
vehicle parked foralong period of time.
iRemove the SmartKey if you park the
vehicle and do not require any electrical
consumers. The vehicle will then use very
little energy, thus conserving battery
power.
iIf the power supply has been interrupted,
e.g. if you reconnect the battery, you will
have to:
Rset the clock.Information on setting the
clock can be found in the separate
operating instructions.
On vehicles with COMAND and a
navigation system, the clock is set
automatically.
Rreset the function for folding the exterior
mirrors in/out automatically, by folding
the mirrors out once (Ypage 110).
