Garage door opener
The integrated remote control is capable of
operating up to three separately controlled
devices. It provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held remote
controls used to operate devices such as
garage door openers, gate openers, or
other devices compatible with HomeLink
®
or some other systems.
Before the integrated remote control can
be used, it must be programmed to the
garage door opener, gate operator or other
device you wish to operate. See the follow-
ing instructions for programming informa-
tion.
iThe remote door unlock feature is
available if the relevant cellular phone network
is available.
The SOS button will flash and the message
Connecting call will appear in the multi-
function display to indicate receipt of the door
unlock command.
Once the vehicle is unlocked, a Response Center
specialist may attempt to establish voice contact
with the vehicle occupants.
If the tailgate lock was pressed for more than
20 seconds before door unlock authorization
was received by the Response Center, you must
wait 15 minutes before pressing the tailgate lock
again.
iWhen the anti-theft alarm stays on for more
than 30 seconds, a call is initiated automatically
to the Response Center. For more information,
see “Anti-theft systems” (
page 96).

Warning!G
Before programming the integrated remote
control to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and objects are
out of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. When program-
ming a garage door opener, the door moves
up or down. When programming a gate oper-
ator, the gate opens or closes.
Do not use the integrated remote control
with any garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features as required
by U.S. federal safety standards (this
includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door that cannot detect an object
- signaling the door to stop and reverse -
does not meet current U.S. federal safety
standards.
When programming a garage door opener,
park the vehicle outside the garage.
Do not run the engine while programming
the integrated remote control. Inhalation of
exhaust gas is hazardous to your health.
All exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide
(CO), and inhaling it can cause unconscious-
ness and possible death.

Step 2:
If you have previously programmed a
signal transmitter button and wish to
retain its programming, proceed to
step 3.
If you are programming the integrated
remote control for the first time, press
and hold outer signal transmitter
buttons2 and4 and release them
only when indicator lamp1 begins to
flash after approximately 20 seconds
(do not hold the button for longer than
30 seconds). This procedure erases
any previous settings for all three
channels and initializes the memory.
If you later wish to program a second
and/or third hand-held transmitter to
the remaining two signal transmitter
buttons, do not repeat this step and
begin directly with step 3.Step 3:Hold end of hand-held remote
control5 of the device you wish to
train approximately 2 to 5 in
(5 to12 cm) away from signal trans-
mitter button (2, 3 or4) to be
programmed, while keeping indicator
lamp1 in view.
Step 4:
Using both hands, simultaneously
press hand-held remote control
button6 and the desired signal
transmitter button (2, 3, or4). Do
not release the buttons until step 5 is
completed.
Indicator lamp1 will flash, first slowly
and then rapidly.Step 5:
After indicator lamp1 changes from a
slow to a rapidly flashing light, release
the hand-held remote control button
and the signal transmitter button.
Step 6:
Press and hold the just-trained signal
transmitter button (2, 3, or4) and
observe indicator lamp1.
If indicator lamp1 stays on
constantly, programming is complete
and your device should activate when
the respective signal transmitter
button (2, 3, or4) is pressed and
released.
Step 7:
To program the remaining two signal
transmitter buttons, repeat the steps
above starting with step 3.
iIndicator lamp1 flashes immediately the
first time the signal transmitter button is
programmed. If this button has already been
programmed, the indicator lamp will only start
flashing after 20 seconds.
iIf indicator lamp1 flashes rapidly for about
2 seconds and then turns to a constant light,
continue with programming steps 8 through 12
as your garage door opener may be equipped
with the “rolling code” feature.

Rolling code programming
To train a garage door opener (or other
rolling code devices) with the rolling code
feature, follow these instructions after
completing the “Programming” portion
(steps 1 through 6) of this text. (A second
person may make the following training
procedures quicker and easier.)
Step 8:
Locate “training” button on the garage
door opener motor head unit.
Exact location and color of the button
may vary by garage door opener brand.
Depending on manufacturer, the
“training” button may also be referred
to as “learn” or “smart” button. If there
is difficulty locating the transmitting
button, refer to the garage door opener
Operator’s manual.Step 9:
Press the “training” button on the
garage door opener motor head unit.
The “training light” is activated.
You have 30 seconds to initiate the
following steps.
Step 10:
Return to the vehicle and firmly press,
hold for 2 seconds and release the
programmed signal transmitter button
(2,3,or4).
Step 11:
Press, hold for 2 seconds and release
same signal transmitter button a
second time to complete the training
process.Step 12:
Confirm the garage door operation by
pressing the programmed signal
transmitter button (2,3,or4).
Step 13:
To program the remaining two signal
transmitter buttons, repeat the steps
above starting with step 3.
Gate operator/Canadian programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission
which may not be long enough for the
integrated signal transmitter to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators
are designed to “time-out” in the same
manner.
iSome garage door openers (or other rolling
code equipped devices) may require you to
press, hold for 2 seconds and release the same
signal transmitter button a third time to
complete the training process.

If you live in Canada or if you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
(regardless of where you live) by using the
programming procedures, replace step 4
with the following:
Step 4:
Press and hold the signal transmitter
button (2,3, or4). Do not release
this button until it has been success-
fully trained.
While still holding down the signal
transmitter button (2, 3 or4),
“cycle” your hand-held remote control
button6 as follows: Press and hold
button6 for 2 seconds, then release
it for 2 seconds, and again press and
hold it for 2 seconds. Repeat this
sequence on the hand-held remote
control until the frequency signal has
been learned. Upon successful train-
ing, indicator lamp1 will flash slowly
and then rapidly after several seconds.
Proceed with programming step 5 and
step 6 to complete.Reprogramming a single signal
transmitter button
To program a device using a signal trans-
mitter button previously trained, follow
these steps:
Switch on the ignition (page 39).
Press and hold the desired signal
transmitter button (2, 3, or4).
Do not release the button.
Indicator lamp1 will begin to flash
after 20 seconds. Without releasing the
signal transmitter button, proceed with
programming starting with step 3.Operation of integrated remote control
Switch on the ignition (page 39).
Select and press the appropriate signal
transmitter button (2, 3, or4) to
activate the remote controlled device.
The integrated remote control
transmitter continues to send the
signal as long as the button is
pressed – up to 20seconds.
Erasing the integrated remote control
memory
Switch on the ignition (page 39).
Simultaneously press and hold outer
signal transmitter buttons2 and4,
for approximately 20 seconds, until
indicator lamp1 blinks rapidly. Do not
hold for longer than 30 seconds.
The codes of all three channels are
erased.
iUpon completion of programming the
integrated remote control, make sure you retain
the hand-held remote control that came with the
garage door opener, gate operator or other
device. You may need it for use in other vehicles,
for future programming of an integrated remote
control, or simply for continued use as a
hand-held remote control to operate the
respective device in other situations.
iIf you sell your vehicle, erase the codes of all
three channels.

Programming tips
If you are having difficulty programming
the integrated remote control, here are
some helpful tips:
Check the frequency of hand-held
remote control5 (typically located on
the reverse side of the remote). The
integrated remote control is compati-
ble with radio-frequency devices oper-
ating between 280-390 MHz.
Put a new battery in hand-held remote
control5. This will increase the
likelihood of the hand-held remote con-
trol sending a faster and more accurate
signal to the integrated remote control.
While performing step 3, hold
hand-held remote control5 at
different lengths and angles from the
signal transmitter button (2, 3 or4)
you are programming. Attempt varying
angles at the distance of 2 to 5 in
(5 to 12 cm) away or the same angle at
varying distances.
If another hand-held remote control is
available for the same device, try the
programming steps again using that
other hand-held remote control. Make
sure new batteries are in the hand-held
remote control before beginning the
procedure.
Straighten the antenna wire from the
garage door opener assembly. This
may help improve transmitting and/or
receiving signals.
iCertain types of garage door openers are
incompatible with the integrated remote control.
If you should experience further difficulties with
programming the integrated remote control,
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center, or call Mercedes-Benz Customer
Assistance Center (in the USA only) at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes, or Customer Service
(in Canada) at 1-800-387-0100.
