216 Controls in detailUseful featuresGarage door opener
The integrated remote control is capable of
operating up to three separately controlled
devices. It provides a convenient way to re-
place up to three hand-held remote con-
trols used to operate devices such as
garage door openers, gate openers, or oth-
er devices compatible with HomeLink
® or
some other systems.
Before the integrated remote control can
be used, it must be programmed to the ga-
rage door opener, gate operator or other
device you wish to operate. See the follow-
ing instructions for programming informa-
tion.

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 po-
tential 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.

Programming the integrated remote
control
Step 1:
Switch on the ignition (
page 40).Step 2:

If you have previously programmed an
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 the two outer signal transmit-
ter buttons2 and4 and release
them only when the indicator lamp1
begins to flash after approximately
20 seconds (do not hold the button for
longer than 30 seconds). This proce-
dure 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 be-
gin directly with step 3.Step 3:

Hold the end of the hand-held remote
control5 of the device you wish to
train approximately 2 to 5 in
(5 to12 cm) away from the signal trans-
mitter button (2, 3 or4) to be pro-
grammed, while keeping the indicator
lamp1 in view.
Step 4:

Using both hands, simultaneously
press the hand-held remote control
button6 and the desired signal trans-
mitter button (2, 3 or4). Do not
release the buttons until step 5 is com-
pleted.
The indicator lamp1 will flash, first
slowly and then rapidly.
When programming a garage door opener, it
is advised to park 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, and
inhaling it can cause unconsciousness and
possible death.


218 Controls in detailUseful featuresStep 5:
After the indicator lamp1 changes
from a slow to a rapidly flashing light,
release the hand-held remote control
button and the signal transmitter but-
ton.
Step 6:

Press and hold the just-trained signal
transmitter button (2, 3 or4) and
observe the indicator lamp1.If the 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 re-
leased.
Step 7:

To program the remaining two signal
transmitter buttons, repeat the steps
above starting with step 3.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.
iThe indicator lamp1 flashes immedi-
ately the first time the signal transmit-
ter button is programmed. If this button
has already been programmed, the in-
dicator lamp will only start flashing af-
ter 20 seconds.
iIf the 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.

Step 9:
Press the “training” button on the ga-
rage door opener motor head unit.
The “training light” is activated.
You have 30 seconds to initiate the follow-
ing step.
Step 10:

Return to the vehicle and firmly press,
hold for 2 seconds and release the pro-
grammed signal transmitter button
(2, 3 or4).
Step 11:

Press, hold for 2 seconds and release
same signal transmitter button a sec-
ond time to complete the training pro-
cess.Step 12:

Confirm the garage door operation by
pressing the programmed signal trans-
mitter 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.
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 successful-
ly trained.
iSome garage door openers (or other
rolling code equipped devices) may
require you to press, hold for 2 seconds
and release the same signal transmit-
ter button a third time to complete the
training process.


220 Controls in detailUseful features
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 se-
quence on the hand-held remote con-
trol until the frequency signal has been
learned. Upon successful training, the
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 trans-
mitter button
To program a device using a signal trans-
mitter button previously trained, follow
these steps:

Switch on the ignition (
page 40).

Press and hold the desired signal
transmitter button (2, 3 or4).
Do not release the button.

The indicator lamp1 will begin to
flash after 20 seconds. Without releas-
ing the signal transmitter button, pro-
ceed with programming starting with
step 3.
iUpon completion of programming the
integrated remote control, make sure
you retain the hand-held remote con-
trol that came with the garage door
opener, gate operator or other device.
You may need it for use in other vehi-
cles, 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.


222 Controls in detailUseful features

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 experi-
ence further difficulties with program-
ming the integrated remote control,
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center, or call Mercedes-Benz
Customer Assistance Center (in the
USA) at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes, or Cus-
tomer Service (in Canada) at
1-800-387-0100.
