Important notes G
WARNING
Observe the legal requirements of the country
in which you are currently driving regarding
operating mobile communications equipment
in av ehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communi-
cations equipment while the vehicle is in
motion ,you must only do so if the traffic sit-
uation permits. Otherwise, you could be dis-
tracted from the traffic conditions, cause an
accident and injure yourself and others.
Two-way radios and fax equipment used with-
out low-reflection exterior aerials can inter-
fere with the vehicle's electronics and thereby
jeopardise the operating safety of the vehicle
and your safety. Therefore, you must only use
this equipment if it is correctly connected to
as eparate reflection-free exterior aerial. G
WARNING
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the
health of others. Using an exterior aerial takes
into account current scientific discussions
relating to the possible health risk posed by
electromagnetic fields. Features
273Stowing and features Z

Mercedes-Ben
zrecommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R optimal mobile phone reception quality in
the vehicle
R mutual influences between the vehicle
electronics and mobile phones are mini-
mised
An exterior aerial has the following advan-
tages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gen-
erated by awireless device to the exterior.
R the field strengt hinthe vehicle interior is
lower than in avehicle that does not have
an exterior aerial.

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).

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
