garage door opener
integrated in the rear-view mirror allows you
to operate up to three different door and gate
systems.
i Certain garage door drives are
incompatible with the integrated garage
door opener. If you have difficulty
programming the integrated garage door
opener, contact an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
Alternatively, you can call the following
telephone assistance services:

WARNING
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. 208

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

X Point garage door remote control 0083
towards buttons 0044to0085 on the rear-view
mirror at a distance of 2 to 8 inches (5 to
20 cm).
i The required distance between remote
control 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.
X Press and hold button 0084on remote control
0083 until indicator lamp 0043lights up green.
If indicator lamp 0043lights up green or
flashes, then programming has been
successful.
X Release button 0084on remote control 0083for
the garage door drive system.
X If indicator lamp 0043lights up red: repeat
the programming procedure for the
corresponding button on the rear-view
mirror. When doing so, vary the distance
between remote control 0083and the rear-
view mirror.
i If the indicator lamp flashes green after
successful programming, the garage door
system is using a rolling code. After
programming, you must synchronize the
garage door opener integrated in the rear-
view mirror with the receiver of the garage
door system. Features
209Stowage an d features Z

Synchronizing the rolling code
Your vehicle must be within reach of the
garage door or exterior gate drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.
Observe the safety notes when performing
the rolling code synchronization
(Y page 208).
X Select key position 2with the Start/Stop
button.
X Press the programming button of the door
or gate drive (see the door or gate drive
operating instructions, e.g. under
"Programming of additional remote
controls").
i Usually, you now have 30seconds to
initiate the next step.
X Press previously programmed button 0044,
0087 or0085 of the integrated garage door
opener until the door starts to move.
The rolling code synchronization is then
complete.
Notes on programming the remote
control
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 with Canadian
law, some U.S. garage door openers also
feature a "break".
Proceed as follows:
R if you live in Canada
R if you have difficulties programming the
garage door opener (regardless of where
you live) when using the programming
steps X
Press and hold one of buttons 0044to0085 on
the integrated garage door opener.
After a short time, indicator lamp 0043lights
up yellow.
X Release the button.
Indicator lamp 0043flashes yellow.
X Press button 0084of garage door remote
control 0083for two seconds, then release it
for two seconds.
X Press button 0084again for two seconds.
X Repeat this sequence on button 0084of
remote control 0083until indicator lamp 0043
lights up green.
If indicator lamp 0043turns red, repeat the
process.
X Continue with the other programming
steps (see above).
Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems
programming the integrated garage door
opener on the rear-view mirror, take note of
the following instructions:
R Check the transmitter frequency of garage
door drive remote control 0083. This can
usually be found on the back of the remote
control.
The integrated garage door opener is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280to 433MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control 0083. This increases the
likelihood that garage door remote control
0083 will transmit a strong and precise signal
to the integrated garage door opener in the
rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold remote control
0083 at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programming. Try
various angles at a distance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
R If another remote control for the same
garage door drive is available, repeat the 210
FeaturesStowage and features

same programming steps with this remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
installed in garage door drive remote
control
0083.
R Note that some remote controls only
transmit for a limited amount of time (the
indicator lamp on the remote control goes
out). Press button 0084on remote control
0083 again before transmission ends.
R Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.
Opening/closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated garage
door opener 0083will assume the function of
the garage door system's remote control.
Please also read the operating instructions
for the garage door system.
X Select key position 2with the Start/Stop
button.
X Press button 0044,0087or0085 which you have
programmed to operate the garage door.
Garage door system with a fixed code:
indicator lamp 0043lights up green.
Garage door system with a rolling code:
indicator lamp 0043flashes green.
i The transmitter will transmit a signal as
long as the button is pressed. The
transmission is halted after a maximum of
ten seconds and indicator lamp 0043lights
up yellow. Press button 0044,0087or0085 again
if necessary.
Clearing the memory of the integrated
garage door opener on the rear-view
mirror X
Select key position 2with the Start/Stop
button.
X Press buttons 0044and 0085.
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
X Press and hold buttons 0044and 0085until the
indicator lamp turns green. i
Make sure that you clear the memory of
the integrated garage door opener before
selling the vehicle. Charge maintenance socket
The battery may drain if the vehicle is left
stationary for long periods. In this case,
Mercedes-Benz recommends attaching the
trickle charger to the charge maintenance
socket.
The charge maintenance socket is designed
solely for connecting a trickle charger. A
trickle charger can be obtained from an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, for
example. X
Switch the ignition off.
X Open the trunk lid.
X Connect the cable provided in the trunk to
the trickle charger.
X Connect the trickle charger to charge
maintenance socket 0043. Consult the
manufacturer's operating instructions on
how to do so.
i A trickle charger connected to charge
maintenance socket 0043only maintains the
current charge level of the vehicle's
electrical system battery. If the vehicle's
electrical system battery is discharged, it
needs to be charged with a battery charger.
You will find further information on
charging the battery on (Y page 236). Features
