Risk of accident
Only press the transmitter button on the inte-
grated remote control if there are no persons
or objects present within the sweep of the
garage door. Persons could otherwise be
injured as the door moves.
Programming the remote control i
You will achieve the best results by insert-
ing new batteries in the garage door's
remote control before programming it.
X Erase the memory of the integrated remote
control (Y page 213) before programming
it for the first time.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock. X
Press and hold one of transmitter but-
tons ;to? on the integrated remote
control.
Indicator lamp :starts to flash after a
short while. It flashes about once a second.
i Indicator lamp :flashes immediately
the first time the transmitter button is pro-
grammed. If this transmitter button has
already been programmed, indicator
lamp :will only start flashing at a rate of
once a second after 20 seconds have
elapsed.
X Keep the transmitter buttons depressed.
X Point the garage door's remote control with
the transmitter towards the left-hand side
of the rear-view mirror from a distance of 5
to 20 cm.
i The distance between the garage door's
remote control and the integrated garage
door opener depends on the system of the
garage door drive. You might require sev-
eral attempts. You should test every posi-
tion for at least 20 seconds before trying
another position.
X Keep the transmitter button on the garage
door's remote control depressed until indi-
cator lamp :starts to flash rapidly.
The programming was successful if indica-
tor lamp :flashes rapidly.
X Release the transmitter buttons on the
garage door's remote control and the inte-
grated remote control.
If indicator lamp :goes out after approx-
imately 20 seconds and did not flash rapidly
before this:
X Release the transmitter buttons on the
integrated and portable remote controls.
X Repeat the programming procedure. When
doing so, change the distance between the
garage door's remote control and the trans-
mitter buttons in the rear-view mirror.

in the rear-view mirror with the garage door
system receiver.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on "Synchro-
nising the transmitter" or "Registering a
new transmitter". You can also call the hot-
line mentioned above.
Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated remote
control will assume the function of the garage
door system's remote control. Please read
the operating instructions for the garage door
system.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press the transmitter button on the rear-
view mirror that you have programmed to
operate the garage door.
Garage door system with fixed code: indi-
cator lamp :lights up continuously.
Garage door system with rolling code: indi-
cator lamp :flashes briefly and then lights
up for approximately two seconds. This is
repeated for up to 20 seconds.
i The transmitter will transmit a signal for
as long as the transmitter button is being
pressed. The transmission will be halted
after a maximum of 20 seconds and indi-
cator lamp :will flash. Press the trans-
mitter button again, if necessary.
Clearing the remote control memory X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.

ory before selling the vehicle. Floormat* on the driver's side
G
Risk of accident
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance
around the pedals when floormats are used,
and that the floormats are properly secured.
The floormats must be correctly secured at all
times using retainers and press-studs.
Before you drive off, check the floormats and
secure if necessary. A floormat which is not
properly secured can slip and, thereby, inter-
fere with the movement of the pedals.
Do not place floormats on top of one another. X
Slide seat backwards.
X To fit: place the floormat in position.
X Press studs :onto retainers ;.
X To remove: pull floormat off retainers ;.
X Remove the floormat. Features

If the vehicle is very dirty, pre-wash it before
cleaning it in an automatic car wash.
! Make sure that the automatic car wash is
suitable for the size of the vehicle. Fold in
the exterior mirrors before the vehicle is
washed. There is otherwise a risk of dam-
age to the exterior mirrors.
! When washing your vehicle in a tow-
through car wash, make sure that the auto-
matic transmission* is in position N. The
vehicle could otherwise be damaged.
R Vehicles with DIRECT SELECT lever and
key:
Do not remove the key from the ignition
lock. Do not open the driver's or front-
passenger door when the engine is
switched off, as this automatically shifts
the automatic transmission to park posi-
tion Pand locks the wheels, unless you
have previously shifted the automatic
transmission to N.
R Vehicles with DIRECT SELECT lever and
KEYLESS GO*:
Do not open the driver's or front-
passenger door when the engine is
switched off, as this shifts the automatic
transmission to park position Pand locks
the wheels.
! Make sure that the side windows are
closed completely, that the blower for the
ventilation/heating is switched off and that
the windscreen wiper switch is in position
0. The rain/light sensor could otherwise be
activated and thereby cause unintentional
wiping. This could result in damage to the
vehicle.
After using an automatic car wash, wipe off
wax and drying agents from the windscreen
and the wiper blades. This will prevent smears
and reduce wiping noises caused by residue
on the windscreen. High-pressure cleaners G
Risk of accident
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with circu-
lar-jet nozzles (dirt grinders) to clean your
vehicle, in particular the tyres. You could oth-
erwise damage the tyres and cause an acci-
dent.
! Observe the instructions issued by the
equipment manufacturer concerning the
distance to be maintained between the
nozzle of the high-pressure cleaner and the
vehicle (at least 30 cm).
Move the high-pressure cleaner nozzle
around when cleaning your vehicle.
Do not aim directly at any of the following:
R tyres
R door joint
R electrical components
R battery
R connectors
R lights
R seals
R trim elements
R ventilation slots
Damaged seals or electrical components
can lead to failures or leaks.
Care and treatment of matt paint-
work* Your vehicle has a clear matt finish. For this
reason, you should make sure that you
adhere to the following instructions to avoid
damage to paintwork due to improper treat-
ment.
!
Under no circumstances should you pol-
ish the vehicle. Polishing will make the
paintwork shine.
! When caring for your paintwork, do not
use paint cleaner, grinding or polishing Care

steps described in "Removing the battery"
(Y page 322) in reverse order.
X Reconnect the battery (Y page 323).Reconnecting the battery
! Always connect the battery in the order
described below. Never swap the terminal

vehicle electronics.
X Switch off all electrical consumers (e.g.
radio, blower, etc.).
X Connect the positive terminal clamp and
secure the cover.

i If the battery power supply has been inter-
rupted (e.g. if it has been reconnected), you
must carry out the following tasks:
R set the time ( Ypage 132)
R reset the function for folding the exterior
mirrors in/out automatically* by folding
the mirrors out once ( Ypage 87) Jump-starting
If your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be jump-started from another
vehicle or from an external battery using jump
leads. Observe the following points:
R
you may only jump-start when the engine
and catalytic converter are cold.
R do not start the engine if the battery is fro-
zen. Let the battery thaw first.
R jump-starting may only be performed from
batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V.
R only use jump leads which have a sufficient
cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
i Jump leads and further information about
jump-starting can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy starting
attempts.
Do not use a rapid-charging device to start
the engine. G
Risk of injury
There is a risk of acid burns when jump-start-
ing a vehicle due to the gases which escape
from the battery. Do not lean over the battery
while the engine is being jump-started. G
Risk of explosion
Gases escaping from the battery during jump-
starting may cause minor explosions. Avoid
creating sparks. Keep naked flames away
from the battery, and do not smoke.
Comply with safety precautions and take pro-
tective measures when handling batteries.
You will find these under "Battery" in the
index.
X Make sure that the two vehicles do not
touch.
X Depress the parking brake firmly.
X Manual transmission: engage neutral.
X Automatic transmission*: shift the trans-
mission to position P.
