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
garage door remote control Auntil indi-
cator lamp :lights up green.
The programming has been successful if
indicator lamp :lights up or flashes
green.
X Release transmitter button ;,=or? on
the integrated garage door opener and the
transmitter button on garage door remote
control B.
If indicator lamp :lights up red:
X Repeat the programming procedure for the
transmitter buttons. When doing so, vary
the distance between the 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 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 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 startsto
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 astronga nd 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
ad istance of between 5and 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 alimited 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. 276

Use care products and cleaning agents rec-
ommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
! For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any
of the following:
R dry, rough or hard cloths
R abrasive cleaning agents
R solvents
R cleaning agents containing solvents
Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective
films with hard objects, e.g. aring or ice
scraper. You could otherwise scratch or
damage the surfaces and protective film. H
Environmental note
Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning
cloths in an environmentally responsible man-
ner.
! 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
should drive for afew minutes after clean-
ing. Braking heats the brake discs and the
brake pads/linings, thus drying them. The
vehicle can then be parked up. Care of the exterior
Automatic car wash G
WARNING
Braking efficiency is reduced after washing
the vehicle. This could cause an accident. For
this reason, following acar wash, drive with
particular care until the brakes are dry. G
WARNING
The vehicle is braked when the HOLD function
or DISTRONIC PLUS is activated. Therefore,
deactivate the HOLD function and DISTRONIC PLUS before the vehicle is washed in an auto-
matic car wash.
You can wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash from the very start.
! We recommend automatic car washes
with an adjustable 21
high-pressure pre-
cleaning program. In car washes that use
high water pressures, there is adanger that
as mall quantity of water may leak into the
vehicle.
! Cabriolet: do not treat the vehicle with
hot wax under any circumstances.
! Cabriolet: pull the key out of the ignition
lock when washing the vehicle. This
ensures that the wind deflector on the
windscreen is retracted. The wind deflector
may otherwise be damaged.
If the vehicle is very dirty, pre-wash it before
cleaning it in an automatic car wash.
! Make sure that the automatic transmis-
sion is in position Nwhen washing your
vehicle in atow-through car wash. The vehi-
cle could be damagedift he transmission is
in another position.
! Make sure that:
R the side windows and sliding sunroof or
soft top are closed completely.
R the blowerf or the ventilation/heatin gis
switched off (OFF button is depressed).
R the windscreen wiper switch is at posi-
tion 0.
The vehicle could otherwise be damaged.
After using an automatic car wash, wipe off
wax from the windscreen and the wiper
blades. This will prevent smears and reduce
wiping noises caused by residue on the wind-
screen.
