General notes
Some systems carry out a self-diagnosis when the ignition is switched on. Therefore, some indicator and warning lamps may light up or flash temporarily. This behavior is non-critical. These indicator
and warning lamps only indicate a malfunction if they light up or flash after starting the engine or
whilst driving. 274

General notes
The multimedia system section in this Opera-
tor's Manual describes the basic principles for
operation. More information can be found in the Digital Operator's Manual. Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle when driving, you may be distracted from
the traffic situation. You could also lose con-
trol of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Only operate this equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving whenoperating the multimedia system.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking the following into
account, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and yield signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R road narrowing
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
The multimedia system may give incorrect nav-
igation recommendations if the actual street/
traffic situation does not correspond with the
digital map's data.
For example:
R a diverted route
R the road layout or the direction of a one-way
street has been changed
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over multimedia system
driving recommendations. Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of con-
sulting the map display for directions. Looking
at the icons or map display can distract you from
traffic conditions and driving, and increase the
risk of an accident.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equip-
ment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without maximum
permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). How-
ever, it is recommended to install it at a distance
of at least 8 inches (approx. 20 cm) between the
radiation source and a person's body (not
including limbs such as hands, wrists, feet and
legs). G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop. Function restrictions
For safety reasons, some functions are restric-
ted or unavailable while the vehicle is in motion. You will notice this, for example, because either
you will not be able to select certain menu items or a message will appear to this effect. Function restrictions

Operating system
Overview
General notes !
Do not use the space in front of the display
for storage. Objects placed here could dam-
age the display or impair its function. Avoid
any direct contact with the display surface.
Pressure on the display surface may result in
impairments to the display, which could be
irreversible.
Wearing polarized sunglasses may impair your
ability to read the display.
The display has an automatic temperature-con- trolled switch-off feature. The brightness is
automatically reduced if the temperature is too
high. The display may temporarily switch off
completely.
Cleaning instructions !
Do not touch the display. The display has a
very sensitive high-gloss surface; there is a
risk of scratching. If you have to clean the
screen, however, use a mild cleaning agent
and a soft, lint-free cloth.
The display must be switched off and have
cooled down before you start cleaning. Do not
apply pressure to the display surface when
cleaning it, as this could cause irreversible dam-
age to the display.

Programming the buttons
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 316). Garage door remote control

with the integrated garage door opener.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 0048in the igni-
tion lock (Y page 140).
X Select one of buttons 0044to0085 to use to con-
trol the garage door drive.
X To start programming mode: press and
hold one of buttons 0044to0085 on the integrated
garage door opener.
The garage door opener is now in program-
ming mode. After a short time, indicator
lamp 0043lights up yellow.
Indicator lamp 0043lights up yellow as soon as
button 0044,0087or0085 is stored for the first time.
If the selected button has already been pro-
gramed, indicator lamp 0043will only light up
yellow after ten seconds have elapsed.
X Release button 0044,0087or0085. Indicator
lamp 0043flashes yellow.
X To program the remote control: point
garage door remote control 0083towards but-
tons 0044to0085 on the rear-view mirror at a dis-
tance of 2 to 8 in (5 to 20 cm).
X Press and hold button 0084on remote control
0083 until indicator lamp 0043lights up green.
When indicator lamp 0043lights up green: pro-
gramming is finished.
When indicator lamp 0043flashes green: pro-
gramming was successful. The next step is to synchronize the rolling code (Y page 317).
X Release button 0084on remote control 0083for
the garage door drive system.
If indicator lamp 0043lights up red: repeat the
programming procedure for the correspond-
ing button on the rear-view mirror. When doing so, vary the distance between remote
control
0083and the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between remote con-
trol 0083and the integrated garage door opener
depends on the garage door drive system.
Several attempts might be necessary. You
should test every position for at least
25 seconds before trying another position.
Synchronizing the rolling code
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 316).
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronize the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this you will
need to use the programming button on the door
drive control panel. The programming button
may be located in different places depending on the manufacturer. It is usually located on the
door drive unit on the garage ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door drive
operating instructions, e.g. under "Program-
ming additional remote controls", before carry-
ing out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the garage
door or gate opener drive. Make sure that nei-
ther your vehicle nor any persons/objects are
present within the sweep of the door or gate.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 0048in the igni-
tion lock (Y page 140).
X Get out of the vehicle.
X Press the programming button on the door
drive unit.
You now have 30 seconds to initiate the next
step.
X Get into the vehicle.
X Press previously programed button 0044,0087
or 0085 on the integrated garage door opener
repeatedly until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then com- plete.
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 garage door opener. The signal is not recognized during programming. Comparable Features
