Operating the auxiliary heating is thu spro-
hibited at filling stations or when your vehicle
is being refuelled .You must therefor eswitch
off the auxiliary heating at filling stations.
! Operating the auxiliary heating/ventila-
tion draws on the vehicle battery. After you
have heated or ventilated the vehicle a
maximum of two times, drive for alonger
distance.
i Switch the auxiliary heating on regularly
once amonthf or about ten minutes.
The auxiliary heating heats the air in the
passenger compartment to the selected tem-
perature. It does not use the heat of the run-
ning engine to do this. The auxiliary heating
is operated directly using the vehicle's fuel.
For this reason, the tank content must be at
least at reserve fuel level to ensure that the
auxiliary heating functions.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation automati-
cally adjusts to changes in temperature and
weather conditions. For this reason, the aux-
iliary heating could switch from ventilation
mode to heating mode or from heating mode
to ventilation mode.
The auxiliary heating switches off automati-
cally after 50 minutes. This time limit can be
altered. To do this, visit aqualified specialist
workshop.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to
cool the vehicle interior to atemperature
lower than the outside temperature.
Before switching on X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Set the temperature.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation can be acti-
vated even when climate control is set to
manual. Optimum comfor tcan be attained
when the system is set to automatic mode.
Set the temperature to 22 †. The auxiliary heating/ventilation can be acti-
vated or deactivated using the remote control
or the button on the centre console.
The on-board computer can be used to spec-
ify up to three departure times, one of which
may be preselected (Y page 225).
Switching the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation on/off using the centre console
button The colours of the indicator lamps on the but-
ton have the following meanings:

X If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat
the programming procedure for the corre-
sponding button on the rear-view mirror.
When doing so, vary the distance between

i If the indicator lamp flashes green after
successful programming, the garage door
system is using arolling 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 range of the
garage door or exterior gate drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
object sare 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 30seconds to ini-
tiate the next step.
X Press previously programmed button ;,
= or? of the integrated garage door
opener until the door closes.
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 drive remote control A.This can usu-
ally be found on the back of the remote
control.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control A.This increases the like-
lihood that garage door remote control A
will transmit astronga nd precise signal to
the integrated garage door opener in the
rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold remote control
A at varying distances and angles from the
button which you are programming. Try var-
ious angles at adistance between 5and
30 cm or at the same angle but at 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 garage door drive remote control
A.
R Note that some remote controls transmit
only for alimited period (the indicator lamp
on the remote control goes out). Press but-
ton Bon remote control Aagain 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.288
