Geo fencing

Geo fencing allows you to select areas which

the vehicle should not enter or leave. You will

be informed if the vehicle crosses the

boundaries of the selected areas. You can

select the way in which you receive this

information beforehand. Possible options

include text message, e-mail or an automated

call.
The area can be determined as either a circle

or a polygon with a maximum of ten corners.

You can specify up to ten areas

simultaneously. Different settings are

possible for each area.
USA only: these settings can be called up

under "Owners Online" at http://

www.mbusa.com.
Alternatively, you can trigger an MB Info call

and inform the customer service

representative that you wish to activate geo

fencing.
Currently inactive areas can be activated by

text message.

With this function, you can trigger the

vehicle's panic alarm via text message. An

Important safety notes

G

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.
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.

You can use the HomeLink
