control A and the integrated garage door opener depends on the garage door drive system. Several attempts may be required. You should test every position for at least 25 seconds before trying another position. X Press and hold button B on remote control A until indicator lamp : lights up green. If indicator lamp : lights up green or flashes, then programming has been suc- cessful.
X Release button B of garage door drive
remote control A.
X If indicator lamp : lights up red: repeat the programming procedure for the corre- sponding button on the rear-view mirror. When doing so, vary the distance between remote control A and the rear-view mirror.
i If the indicator lamp flashes green after successful programming, the garage door system is using a rolling code. After pro-
gramming, you must synchronise the garage door opener integrated in the rear- view mirror with the receiver of the garage door system.
Synchronising the rolling code Your vehicle must be within range 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 synchronisation. X Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock.
X Press the programming button of the door
or gate drive (see the door or gate drive operating instructions, e.g. under "Pro- gramming of additional remote controls"). i Usually, you now have 30seconds to ini-
tiate the next step.
X Press previously programmed button ;,
= or ? of the integrated garage door opener until the door closes. The rolling code synchronisation is then complete.
Problems when programming If you have problems when programming the integrated garage door opener, please note the following: RCheck the transmitter frequency of garage door drive remote control A. This can usu- ally be found on the back of the remote control.
RReplace the batteries in garage door
remote control A. This increases the like- lihood that garage door remote control A will transmit a strong and precise signal to the integrated garage door opener in the rear-view mirror.
RWhen programming, hold remote control
A at varying distances and angles from the button which you are programming. Try var- ious angles at a distance between 5and
354 Features
30 cm or at the same angle but at varying distances.
RIf there is another remote control for the same garage door drive, perform the pro- gramming steps again using this remote control. Before performing these steps, make sure that new batteries have been fitted in garage door drive remote control A.
RNote that some remote controls transmit only for a limited period (the indicator lamp on the remote control goes out). Press but- ton B on remote control A again before transmission ends.
RAlign the aerial cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep- tion/transmission.
Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated garage door opener will assume the function of the garage door system's remote control. Please also read the operating instructions for the garage door system. X Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock.
X Press button ;, = or ? which you have programmed to operate the garage door. Garage door system with a fixed code: indi- cator lamp : lights up green. Garage door system with a rolling code: indicator lamp : flashes green.
i The transmitter will transmit a signal for as long as the button is pressed. The trans- mission is halted after a maximum of ten seconds and indicator lamp : lights up yellow. Press button ;, = or ? again if necessary.
Clearing the memory X Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock.
X Press buttons ; and ?.
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
X Press and hold buttons ; and ? until the

Infrared reflective windscreen
The infrared reflecting glass prevents the vehicle interior from becoming too hot. It also blocks radio waves up into the gigahertz range. To enable operation of radio-controlled equip- ment, e.g. toll recording systems, areas on the windscreen are permeable to radio waves :. In these areas, you can install radio-controlled systems. These areas can best be seen from outside the vehicle by observing the light reflected off the windscreen.
Retrofitted anti-glare film Retrofitted anti-glare film on the inside of the windows can interfere with radio/mobile telephone reception. This is particularly the case for conductive or metallic-coated films. You can obtain information about anti-glare film from a qualified specialist workshop.

Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod- els, series and optional equipment for your vehicle that were available at the time of going to press. National variations are pos- sible. Note that your vehicle may not be equipped with all of the functions descri- bed. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: (Y page 25).
Engine compartment Bonnet Active bonnet (pedestrian protection) Operating principle ! An active bonnet that had been triggered
must be repaired at a qualified specialist workshop. The active bonnet function will then be available again. The additional pedestrian protection provided by the active bonnet will then be restored.
i The active bonnet is only available in cer- tain countries. It is available for all models, except for AMG vehicles.
The active bonnet can reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians in certain accident situations. Raising the active bonnet increases the clear- ance to hard components, such as the engine. If the active bonnet has been triggered, it will be raised in the area of the bonnet hinges by approximately 100 mm. The active bonnet is triggered by pyrotechnics. For the drive to the workshop, reset the trig- gered active bonnet yourself. After being reset, the active bonnet rests in the area of the bonnet hinges on the seals, and the bon- net hinges do not engage. For this reason, we recommend that you do not exceed a maxi- mum top speed of 130 km/h on the way to the workshop. If the active bonnet has been
triggered, pedestrian protection may be limi- ted. Resetting G WARNING There is a risk of injury if the bonnet is open, even if the engine is not running. Some engine components can become very hot. To avoid the risk of burns, only touch those components described in the Owner's Manual and observe the relevant safety notes. G WARNING Make sure that nobody can become trapped as you close the bonnet.
X With your hand flat near the bonnet hinges (arrows), push down active bonnet : until it rests on the seals.
Opening the bonnet G WARNING Do not pull the release lever while the vehicle is in motion. If you do so, the bonnet may open up and block your view. G WARNING There is a risk of injury if the bonnet is open, even if the engine is not running. Some engine components can become very hot.
To avoid the risk of burns, only touch those components described in the Owner's Manual and observe the relevant safety notes. G WARNING The radiator fan between the radiator and the engine can start automatically, even if the key has been removed from the ignition lock. For this reason, you must not reach into the fan rotation area. You could otherwise be injured. Vehicles with a petrol engine: The elec- tronic ignition system uses high voltage. For this reason, you must never touch ignition system components (ignition coil, ignition cables, spark plug connectors or test socket) while: Rthe engine is running Rthe engine is being started Rthe ignition is switched on and the engine
is being cranked by hand
You could otherwise suffer an electric shock and be seriously or even fatally injured. Vehicles with a diesel engine: The elec- tronic injection control uses high voltage. For this reason, you must never touch injection system components while: Rthe engine is running Rthe engine is being started Rthe ignition is switched on You could otherwise suffer an electric shock and be seriously or even fatally injured. G WARNING The windscreen wipers and wiper linkage could be set in motion. When the bonnet is open, you or others could be injured by the wiper linkage. Make sure that the windscreen wipers are switched off. Remove the key or make sure that no ignition position has been selected with KEYLESS-GO. All indicator lamps must be off in the instrument panel.
! Make sure that the windscreen wipers are not folded away from the windscreen. Oth-

362 Engine compartment
X Lower the bonnet and let it fall from a
height of approximately 20 cm.
X Check that the bonnet has engaged prop-
erly. If the bonnet can be raised slightly, it is not properly engaged. Open it again and close it with a little more force.
Radiator Vehicles with a diesel engine: do not cover the radiator. Do not use thermal mats, insect protection covers or anything similar. Doing so can cause the Onboard Diagnostics Sys- tem to display inaccurate values. Some of these values are legally required and must always be correct.
Engine oil General notes Depending on your driving style, the vehicle consumes up to 0.8 l of oil per 1,000 km. The oil consumption may be higher than this when the vehicle is new or if you frequently drive at high engine speeds. Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may be installed at a different location. When checking the oil level: Rpark the vehicle on a level surface. Rthe engine should be switched off for
approximately five minutes if the engine is at normal operating temperature.
Rif the engine is not at normal operating temperature, e.g. if the engine was only started briefly, wait about 30 minutes before carrying out the measurement.
Checking the oil level using the oil dip- stick
Example: vehicles with a petrol engine
Example: vehicles with a diesel engine X Pull oil dipstick : out of the oil dipstick
tube.
X Wipe off oil dipstick :. X Slowly slide oil dipstick : into the guide
tube to the stop, and take it out again. If the level is between MIN mark = and MAX mark ;, the oil level is correct.
X If the oil level has dropped to MIN mark = or below, add 1.0 litre of engine oil.
Adding engine oil G WARNING If engine oil comes into contact with hot engine parts, it may ignite and you could burn yourself. Do not spill any engine oil on hot engine parts.

If the ASSYST PLUS service interval dis- play has been inadvertently reset, this set- ting can be corrected at a qualified special- ist workshop. Have service work carried out as described in the Service Booklet. This may otherwise lead to increased wear and damage to the major assemblies or the vehicle.
A qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, will reset the ASSYST PLUS service interval display after the service work has been carried out. You can also obtain further information on main- tenance work, for example. Special service requirements Arduous operating conditions or increased loads on the vehicle will require some service work to be performed more often than for a vehicle in normal use. Such arduous condi- tions include regular city driving with frequent intermediate stops and use in mountainous terrain or on poor road surfaces. For example, if the vehicle is used under ardu- ous operating conditions, have air filters, engine oil and oil filters changed frequently and check the wheels often. Further informa- tion can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
366 Care
Driving abroad An extensive Mercedes-Benz Service network is also available in other countries. The Service Hotline's current telephone numbers for use when you are abroad are to be found in the "Mercedes-Benz Service24h" section of the Service Booklet.
AdBlue® service display i For BlueTEC vehicles only. To function properly, BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment must be operated with the reducing agent AdBlue®. AdBlue® is topped up as part of the service. Under normal oper- ating conditions, a full tank of AdBlue® should last until the next service due date. Depending on how and where the vehicle is used, there may be an increase in the AdBlue® consumption, resulting in the next service due date being brought forward. Certain display messages show that AdBlue® must be topped up, e.g. Refill AdBlue See Owner's Manual Refill AdBlue No start in: .. km A warning tone also sounds. You can no longer start the engine when the AdBlue® supply has been used up (Y page 306). Top up AdBlue®(Y page 178). Before taking a trip with your vehicle outside Europe, have the AdBlue® supply checked at a qualified specialist workshop. If necessary, have AdBlue® topped up. Before a longer stay outside of Europe, consult a qualified special- ist workshop. Observe the notes on AdBlue®(Y page 427). You can obtain further information about BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment and AdBlue® from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Care General notes H Environmental note Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning cloths in an environmentally responsible man- ner.
! For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any
of the following: Rdry, rough or hard cloths Rabrasive cleaning agents Rsolvents Rcleaning agents containing solvents Do not scrub. Do not touch the surfaces or protective films with hard objects, e.g. a ring or ice scraper. You could otherwise scratch or damage the surfaces and protective film. ! Do not park up the vehicle for an extended period straight after cleaning it, particularly after having cleaned the wheels with wheel cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause increased corrosion of the brake discs and brake pads/linings. For this reason, you should drive for a few minutes after clean- ing. Braking heats the brake discs and the brake pads/linings, thus drying them. The vehicle can then be parked up.
Regular care of your vehicle is a condition for retaining the quality in the long term. Use care products and cleaning agents rec- ommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Washing the vehicle and cleaning the paintwork Automatic car wash G WARNING Braking efficiency is reduced after washing the vehicle. This could cause an accident. For this reason, following a car wash, drive with particular care until the brakes are dry.
G WARNING The vehicle is braked when the HOLD function or DISTRONIC PLUS is activated. Therefore, deactivate the HOLD function and DISTRONIC PLUS before the vehicle is washed in an auto- matic car wash.
! Make sure that:
Rthe side windows and sliding sunroof are
closed completely.

368 Care
High-pressure cleaning equipment G WARNING Do not use high-pressure cleaners with circu- lar-jet nozzles (dirt grinders) to clean your vehicle, in particular the tyres. You could oth- erwise damage the tyres and cause an acci- dent.
! Always maintain a distance of at least 30 cm between the vehicle and the high- pressure cleaner nozzle. Information about the correct distance is available from the equipment manufacturer. Move the high-pressure cleaner nozzle around when cleaning your vehicle. Do not aim directly at any of the following: Rtyres Rdoor gaps, roof gaps, joints etc. Relectrical components Rbattery Rconnectors Rlights Rseals Rtrim elements Rventilation slots Damaged seals or electrical components can lead to leaks or failures.
Cleaning the paintwork ! Do not affix:
Rstickers Rfilms Rmagnetic plates or similar items to painted surfaces. You could otherwise damage the paintwork.
Scratches, corrosive deposits, areas affected by corrosion and damage caused by inade- quate care cannot always be completely repaired. In such cases, visit a qualified spe- cialist workshop.
X Remove impurities immediately, where
possible, whilst avoiding rubbing too hard. X Soak insect remains with insect remover and rinse off the treated areas afterwards. X Soak bird droppings with water and rinse
off the treated areas afterwards.
X Remove coolant, brake fluid, tree resin, oils, fuels and greases by rubbing gently with a cloth soaked in petroleum ether or lighter fluid.
X Use tar remover to remove tar stains. X Use silicone remover to remove wax.
Care and treatment of matt paintwork ! Never polish the vehicle or the light alloy
wheels. Polishing makes the paintwork shiny.
! The following may cause the paint to
become shiny and thus reduce the matt effect: RVigorous rubbing with unsuitable mate-
rials.
RFrequent use of car washes. RWashing the vehicle in direct sunlight. ! Never use paint cleaner, buffing or pol- ishing products, or gloss preserver, e.g. wax. These products are only suitable for high-gloss surfaces. Their use on vehicles with matt finish leads to considerable sur- face damage (shiny, spotted areas). Always have paintwork repairs performed at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
! Do not use wash programs with a hot wax
treatment under any circumstances.
Observe these notes if your vehicle has a clear matt finish. This will help you to avoid damage to the paintwork due to incorrect treatment. These notes also apply to light-alloy wheels with a clear matt finish.
i The vehicle should preferably be washed by hand using a soft sponge, car shampoo and plenty of water.
i Use only insect remover and car shampoo
from the range of recommended and approved Mercedes-Benz care products.
Cleaning vehicle parts Cleaning the wheels ! Do not use acidic wheel cleaning products to remove brake dust. This could damage wheel bolts and brake components.
! Do not park up the vehicle for an extended period straight after cleaning it, particularly after having cleaned the wheels with wheel cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause increased corrosion of the brake discs and brake pads/linings. For this reason, you should drive for a few minutes after clean- ing. Braking heats the brake discs and the brake pads/linings, thus drying them. The vehicle can then be parked up.
