The required distance between remote
control Aand the integrated garage door
opener depends on the garage door drive
system. Several attempts may be required.
You should test every position for at least
25 seconds before trying another position.
Synchronising the rolling code
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 320).
If the garage door system uses a rolling code, you will also have to synchronise the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this, you
will need to use the programming button on
the door drive control panel. The program-
ming button may be placed at different loca-
tions, depending on the manufacturer. It is
usually located on the door drive unit on the
garage ceiling.
Familiarise yourself with the garage door
drive operating instructions, e.g. under "Pro-
gramming of additional remote controls",
before carrying out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within range of the
garage door or gate opener drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.

Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated garage door opener, please note
the following:
R Check the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive remote control Aand
whether it is supported. The transmitter
frequency can usually be found on the back
of the garage door drive 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 a strong and 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 a distance 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 a limited 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.

Damaged seals or electrical components
can lead to leaks or failures.
Cleaning the paintwork !
Do not affix:
R stickers
R films
R magnetic plates or similar items
to painted surfaces. You could otherwise
damage the paintwork.
Scratches, corrosive deposits, areas affected
by corrosion and damage caused by inade-
quate care cannot always be completely
repaired. In such cases, visit a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
X Remove impurities immediately, where
possible, whilst avoiding rubbing too hard.
X Soak insect remains with insect remover
and rinse off the treated areas afterwards.
X Soak bird droppings with water and rinse
off the treated areas afterwards.
X Remove coolant, brake fluid, tree resin,
oils, fuels and greases by rubbing gently
with a cloth soaked in petroleum ether or
lighter fluid.
X Use tar remover to remove tar stains.
X Use silicone remover to remove wax.
Care and treatment of matt paintwork !
Never polish the vehicle or the light alloy
wheels. Polishing makes the paintwork
shiny. !
The following may cause the paint to
become shiny and thus reduce the matt
effect:
R Vigorous rubbing with unsuitable mate-
rials.
R Frequent use of car washes.
R Washing the vehicle in direct sunlight.
! Never use paint cleaner, buffing or pol-
ishing products, or gloss preserver, e.g.
wax. These products are only suitable for
high-gloss surfaces. Their use on vehicles
with matt finish leads to considerable sur-
face damage (shiny, spotted areas).
Always have paintwork repairs carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
! Do not use wash programs with a hot wax
treatment under any circumstances.
Observe these notes if your vehicle has a
clear matt finish. This will help you to avoid
damage to the paintwork due to incorrect
treatment.
These notes also apply to light-alloy wheels
with a clear matt finish.
i The vehicle should preferably be washed
by hand using a soft sponge, car shampoo
and plenty of water.
i Use only insect remover and car shampoo
from the range of recommended and
approved Mercedes-Benz care products. Cleaning vehicle parts
Cleaning the wheels !
Do not use acidic wheel cleaning products
to remove brake dust. This could damage
wheel bolts and brake components.
! Do not park up 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 336

the notes on the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 367).
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tyre is punctured by a foreign object. In the
event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering manoeuvres.
The tyre pressure monitor has a yellow warn-
ing lamp in the instrument cluster for indicat-
ing a pressure loss or malfunction. Depending on how the warning lamp flashes or lights up,
a tyre pressure that is too low or a malfunc-
tion in the tyre pressure monitor is indicated:
R if the warning lamp is lit continuously, the
tyre pressure on one or more tyres is sig-
nificantly too low. The tyre pressure moni-
tor is not malfunctioning.
R if the warning lamp flashes for around a
minute and then remains lit constantly, the
tyre pressure monitor is malfunctioning.
i In addition to the warning lamp, a mes-
sage appears in the multifunction display.
Further information can be found at
(Y page 280).
If the tyre pressure monitor is malfunctioning,
it may take more than ten minutes for the tyre pressure warning lamp to inform you of the
malfunction by flashing for approximately one
minute and then remaining lit. When the fault
has been rectified, the tyre pressure warning lamp goes out after you have driven for a few
minutes.
The tyre pressure values indicated by the on- board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at a filling station using a pressure
gauge. The tyre pressures shown by the on-
board computer refer to those measured at
sea level. At high altitudes, the tyre pressure
values indicated by a pressure gauge are
higher than those shown by the on-board
computer. In this case, do not reduce the tyre
pressures.
The operation of the tyre pressure monitor
can be affected by interference from radio transmitting equipment (e.g. radio head-
phones, two-way radios) that may be being
operated in or near the vehicle.
Checking the tyre pressure electroni-
cally X

has been removed. If this occurs, note that the value displayed for the position where
the spare wheel is fitted is not the same asthe current tyre pressure of the emergencyspare wheel. Tyre pressure
