Mobile phone*

Risk of accident

Observe the legal requirements of the country in which you are currently driving regarding operating mobile communications equipment in a vehicle.

If it is permitted by law to operate communications equipment while the vehicle is in motion, you may only do so when the traffic situation allows. Otherwise, you could be distracted from the traffic conditions, cause an accident and injure yourself and others.

Two-way radios and fax equipment used without low-reflection exterior aerials can interfere with the vehicle's electronics and, thereby, jeopardise the operating safety of the vehicle and your safety. Therefore, you must only use this equipment if it is correctly connected to a separate, reflection-free, exterior aerial.

Risk of injury

Excessive electromagnetic radiation may cause damage to your health and the health of others. Using an exterior aerial takes into account current scientific discussions relating to the possible health risk posed by electromagnetic fields.

To ensure optimum reception quality for mobile phones in the vehicle, and to minimise mutual influences between the vehicle electronics and mobile phones, Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an approved exterior aerial. An exterior aerial conducts the electromagnetic fields generated by a wireless device to the exterior of the vehicle; the field strength within the vehicle interior is lower than in a vehicle that does not have an exterior aerial.

There are various mobile phone brackets that may be fitted to your vehicle; in some cases, these are country-specific. You can obtain these mobile phone brackets from a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

The functions and services available when you use the phone depend on your mobile phone model and service provider.

Inserting the mobile phone

  

Open the telephone compartment more.

  

Place the mobile phone bracket into the pre-installed fitting; see the separate mobile phone bracket fitting instructions.

  

Insert the mobile phone into the mobile phone bracket; see the separate mobile phone bracket fitting instructions.

If the mobile phone is inserted in the mobile phone bracket, you can speak to the person you are calling using the hands-free system.

You can operate the telephone using the and buttons on the multi-function steering wheel. You can operate other mobile phone functions via the on-board computer more.

When you take the key out of the ignition lock, the mobile phone stays on but you can no longer use the hands-free system.

If you are making a call and you would like to take the key out of the ignition lock, first remove the mobile phone from the bracket. Otherwise, the call will be ended.

 

Garage door opener*

The remote control integrated in the rear-view mirror allows you to operate up to three different door and gate systems.

The garage door opener is only available for certain countries. Observe the legal requirements in all countries concerned.

The HomeLink® garage door opener is compatible with most European garage and gate opener drives. More information on HomeLink® and/or compatible products is available from:

  • any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre

  • the HomeLink® hotline (0) 08000 466 354 65 (free of charge) or +49 (0) 6838 907-277 (charges apply)

  • the Internet: http://www.homelink.com

Remote control in the rear-view mirror

Risk of accident

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. Persons could otherwise be injured as the door moves.

Programming the remote control

You will achieve the best results by inserting new batteries in the garage door's remote control before programming it.

  

Erase the memory of the integrated remote control more before programming it for the first time.

  

Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition lock.

  

Press and hold one of transmitter buttons to on the integrated remote control.

 

Indicator lamp starts to flash after a short while. It flashes about once a second.

 

Indicator lamp  flashes immediately the first time the transmitter button is programmed. If this transmitter button has already been programmed, indicator lamp  will only start flashing at a rate of once a second after 20 seconds have elapsed.

  

Keep the transmitter buttons depressed.

  

Point the garage door's remote control with the transmitter towards the left-hand side of the rear-view mirror from a distance of 5 to 20 cm.

 

The distance between the garage door's remote control 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.

  

Keep the transmitter button on the garage door's remote control depressed until indicator lamp  starts to flash rapidly.

 

The programming was successful if indicator lamp flashes rapidly.

  

Release the transmitter buttons on the garage door's remote control and the integrated remote control.

If indicator lamp  goes out after approximately 20 seconds and did not flash rapidly before this:

  

Release the transmitter buttons on the integrated and portable remote controls.

  

Repeat the programming procedure. When doing so, change the distance between the garage door's remote control and the transmitter buttons in the rear-view mirror.

If the garage door system works with a rolling code, after programming you must synchronise the remote control integrated in the rear-view mirror with the garage door system receiver.

You will find further information in the garage door opening system's operating instructions, e.g. the sections on "Synchronising the transmitter" or "Registering a new transmitter". You can also call the hotline mentioned above.

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 read the operating instructions for the garage door system.

  

Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition lock.

  

Press the transmitter button on the rear-view mirror that you have programmed to operate the garage door.

 

Garage door system with fixed code: indicator lamp  lights up continuously.

Garage door system with rolling code: indicator lamp  flashes briefly and then lights up for approximately two seconds. This is repeated for up to 20 seconds.

 

The transmitter will transmit a signal for as long as the transmitter button is being pressed. The transmission will be halted after a maximum of 20 seconds and indicator lamp  will flash. Press the transmitter button again, if necessary.

Clearing the remote control memory

  

Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition lock.

  

Press and hold transmitter buttons  and for approximately 20 seconds until indicator lamp  flashes rapidly.

 

The memory is cleared.

You should clear the remote control memory before selling the vehicle.

 

Floormat* on the driver's side

Risk of accident

Make sure that there is sufficient clearance around the pedals when floormats are used, and that the floormats are properly secured.

The floormats must be correctly secured at all times using retainers and press-studs.

Before you drive off, check the floormats and secure if necessary. A floormat which is not properly secured can slip and, thereby, interfere with the movement of the pedals.

Do not place floormats on top of one another.

  

Slide seat backwards.

  

To fit: place the floormat in position.

  

Press studs onto retainers .

  

To remove: pull floormat off retainers .
