Rear view camera
Important safety notes
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your immedi-
ate surroundings. You are always responsible
for safe maneuvering and parking. When maneu-
vering or parking, make sure that there are no
persons, animals or objects in the area in which
you are maneuvering.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function in
a limited manner:
Rthe rear door is open
Rin heavy rain, snow or fog
Rat night or in very dark places
Rif the camera is exposed to very bright light
Rif the area is lit by fluorescent light or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
Rif there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in win- ter
Rif the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
Rif the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for this
purpose

Notes on programming the remote con-
trol
Canadian radio frequency laws require a "break"
(or interruption) of the transmission signals
after broadcasting for a few seconds. Therefore,
these signals may not last long enough for the
integrated remote control to recognize the sig-
nal during programming. Comparable with
Canadian law, American garage door openers
also have a built-in "interruption".
If you live in Canada or have difficulties pro-
gramming the garage door opener (regardless of
where you live) when using the programming
steps, proceed as follows:
Integrated remote control in the rear-view mirror
:
Indicator lamp
;=?Transmitter buttons
AGarage door remote control
BTransmitter button on the garage
door remote control
XKeep the transmitter button ( ;,=or?)
depressed until the integrated remote control
has been set up successfully.
XSimultaneously press transmitter button B
on the garage door remote control and hold
for 2 seconds. Then let go for 2 seconds,
press again and hold for 2 seconds.
XRepeat this sequence on transmitter button
B of the garage door remote control until the
frequency signal has been saved.
XIf the setup procedure is successful, indicator
lamp :flashes once slowly and goes out
after a few seconds.
XContinue with the other programming steps
(see above).

If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the fol-
lowing:
RCheck the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control A(which can usually be
found on the back of the remote control).
The integrated remote control is compatible
with devices that have units which operate in the frequency range of 280 to 390 MHz.
Rreplace the batteries in garage door remote
control A. This increases the probability of

strong and precise signal to the integrated
remote control on the rear-view mirror.
RWhen programming, hold garage door remote
control Aat varying distances and angles

Do not start the vehicle using a rapid charging device. If your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be jump-started from another vehicle or from a second battery using jumper cables.
Observe the following points:
RThe battery is not accessible in all vehicles. If the other vehicle's battery is not accessible, jump-
start the vehicle using a second battery or a jump-starting device.
RVehicles with a gasoline engine: only jump-start the vehicle when the engine and exhaust
system are cold.
RDo not start the engine if the battery is frozen. Let the battery thaw first.
RJump-starting may only be performed from batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V.
ROnly use jumper cables which have a sufficient cross-section and insulated terminal clamps.
RIf the battery is fully discharged, leave the battery that is being used to jump-start connected for
a few minutes before attempting to start. This charges the battery slightly.
RMake sure that the two vehicles do not touch.
Make sure that:
Rthe jumper cables are not damaged.
Rwhen the jumper cables are connected to the battery, uninsulated sections of the terminal clamp
do not come into contact with other metal sections.
Rthe jumper cables cannot come into contact with parts such as the pulley or the fan. These parts
move when the engine is started and while it is running.
XApply the parking brake.
XMove the selector lever to position P.
XSwitch off all electrical consumers (e.g. radio, blower, etc.).
XOpen the hood (Ypage 236).
Position number Bidentifies the charged battery of the other vehicle or an equivalent jump-starting
device.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate if the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the warning lamp will
flash for approximately a minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will be repeated every time the vehi-
cle is started as long as the malfunction
exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the mounting of incompatible
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from func-
tioning properly. Always check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.
It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
pressure to the recommended cold tire pressure
suitable for the operating situation
(
Ypage 265). Note that the correct tire pressure
for the current operating situation must first be
taught-in to the tire pressure monitor. If there is
a substantial loss of pressure, the warning
threshold for the warning message is aligned to
the reference values taught-in. Restart the tire
pressure monitor after adjusting to the cold tire
pressure (
Ypage 270). The current pressures
are saved as new reference values. As a result, a
warning message will appear if the tire pressure
drops sign ificant
ly.
The tire pressure monitor does not warn you of
an incorrectly set tire pressure. Observe the
notes on the recommended tire pressure
(
Ypage 265).
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warn you
of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the tire is
penetrated by a foreign object. In the event of a
sudden loss of pressure, bring the vehicle to a
halt by braking carefully. Avoid sudden steering
movements.
In order to check the tire pressure, the vehicle's
wheels are installed with sensors that monitor the tire pressure in all four tires. The tire pres-
sure monitor warns you if the pressure drops in
one or more of the tires. The tire pressure mon-
itor only functions if the correct sensors are
installed on all wheels.
The tire pressure monitor has a yellow warning
lamp in the instrument cluster for indicating
pressure loss/malfunctions (USA) or pressure
loss (Canada). Whether the warning lamp
flashes or lights up indicates whether a tire
pressure is too low or the tire pressure monitor is malfunctioning:
Rif the warning lamp is lit continuously, the tire
pressure on one or more tires is significantly
too low. The tire pressure monitor is not mal-
functioning.
RUSA only: if the warning lamp flashes for
around a minute and then remains lit con-
stantly, the tire pressure monitor is malfunc-
tioning.
Information on tire pressures is displayed in the
multifunction display. After a few minutes of
driving, the current tire pressure of each tire is
shown in the multifunction display.
USA only: the tire pressure warning lamp will
inform you of a malfunc
tion in the tire pressure
monitor by flashing for approximately one
minute and then remaining lit. It may take more
than ten minutes before the data menu is dis-
played. When the malfunction has been recti-
fied, the tire pressure warning lamp goes out
after a few minutes of driving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-
board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at a gas station with a pressure gauge. The
tire pressures shown by the on-board computer
refer to those measured at sea level. At high
altitudes, the tire pressure values indicated by a
pressure gauge are higher than those shown by the on-board computer. In this case, do not
reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor can
be affected by interference from radio transmit-
ting equipment (e.g. radio headphones, two-way
radios) that may be being operated in or near the
vehicle.
