Stolen Vehicle Recovery Services
If your vehicle has been stolen:
XContact the police.
The police will issue an incident report. This
report has a number.XThis number will be forwarded to the
Response Center together with your PIN.
The Response Center will then attempt to
covertly contact the mbrace system. The
Response Center contacts you and the
local law enforcement authority if the
vehicle is located. However, only the law
enforcement authority is informed of the
location of the vehicle.
i If the anti-theft alarm system remains
activated for longer than thirty seconds,
mbrace is automatically connected to the
Customer Assistance Center.
Garage door opener
Important safety notes
The remote control integrated in the rear-view
mirror allows you to operate up to three
different door and gate systems.
i Certain garage door openers are not
compatible with the integrated remote
control. If you experience problems when
programming the integrated remote
control, contact an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center or call the following service
hotlines:
R USA: Mercedes-Benz Customer
Assistance Center under
1-800-FOR-MERCedes
R Canada: Customer Service under
1-800-387-0100
GWarning
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
programming a garage door opener, the door
moves up or down. When programming a gate
operator, 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 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 unconsciousness
and possible death. All exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can
cause unconsciousness and possible death.
i USA only:
This device complies with part 15 of the
FCC requirements. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
1. The device must not cause harmful
interference.
2. The device must withstand any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Unauthorized modification of this device
could void the device's operating permit.
i Canada only:
This device complies with the RSS-210
requirements of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. The device must not cause harmful
interference.
2. The device must withstand any

interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Unauthorized modification of this device
could void the user's authority to legally
operate the device.
Programming the remote control
Programming
GWarning!
Only press the transmitter button on the
integrated remote control if there are no
persons or objects present within the sweep
of the garage door. People could otherwise be
injured by the movement of the door.
Remote control in the rear-view mirror
Garage door remote control A is not part of
the garage door opener.
iTo achieve the best result, insert new
batteries in garage door remote control
A of your garage door drive before
programming.
XErase the memory of the integrated remote
control (Y page 442) before programming
it for the first time.
XTurn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock.
XPress and hold one of transmitter
buttons ; to ? on the integrated remote
control.
After a short time, indicator lamp : will
start flashing. It flashes about once per
second.
iIndicator lamp : flashes immediately
the first time that the transmitter button is
programmed. If this transmitter button has
already been programmed, indicator
lamp : will only start flashing at a rate of
once per second after 20 seconds have
elapsed.
XKeep the transmitter button depressed.XPoint transmitter button B of garage door
remote control A towards the transmitter
buttons on the rear-view mirror at a
distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 20 cm).
iThe distance between garage door
remote control A and the integrated
garage door opener depends on the system
of the garage door drive. You might require
several attempts. You should test every
position for at least 20 seconds before
trying another position.
XKeep transmitter button B on garage door
remote control A pressed until indicator
lamp : starts to flash rapidly.
The programming has been successful if
indicator lamp : flashes rapidly.
XRelease transmitter buttons ;, = or ?
on the integrated remote control and
transmitter button B on the garage door
remote control.
If indicator lamp : goes out after
approximately 20 seconds and has not
flashed rapidly:
XRelease transmitter buttons ;, = or ?
on the integrated remote control and
transmitter button B on the garage door
remote control.
XRepeat the procedure for the other
transmitter buttons. When doing so, vary
the distance between the garage door's
remote control and the transmitter buttons
in the rear-view mirror.
iIf the garage door system works with a
rolling code, you must synchronize the
remote control integrated into the rear-
440FeaturesLoading, stowing and features

view mirror with the garage door system
receiver after programming.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on
"Synchronizing the transmitter" or
"Registering a new transmitter". You can
also call the hotline mentioned above.
Notes on programming the remote
control
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals a few seconds after broadcasting.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated remote control to
recognize the signal during programming.
Comparable with Canadian law, some U.S.
garage door openers also have a built-in
"interruption".
If you live in Canada or have difficulties
programming the garage door opener
(regardless of where you live) when using the
programming steps (see above), proceed as
follows:XPress transmitter button ( ;, = or ?) and
hold it down during the following steps until
the setup has been completed
successfully.XAt the same time, press transmitter button
B of the garage door remote control for
two seconds, then release it for two
seconds, then press it again for two
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).Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the
following:
R Check the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control A (which can usually
be found on the rear of the remote control).
The integrated remote control is
compatible with devices that operate at
frequencies between 280 and 390 MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control A. This increases the
likelihood of garage door remote
control A sending a strong and precise
signal to the integrated remote control on
the rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold garage door
remote control A at varying distances and
angles from the transmitter button which
you are programming. Try different angles
at a distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm)
or the same angle at different distances.
R If there is another garage door remote
control for the same device, perform the
programming steps again using the remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
installed in the garage door remote control.
R Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.
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 also
read the operating instructions for the garage
door system.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.XPress transmitter button ;, = or ? in the
overhead control panel that you have
programmed to operate the garage door.
