Programming tips
If you are having difficulty programming 
the integrated remote control, here are 
some helpful tips:
ț
Check the frequency of the hand-held 
remote control
5 (typically located on
the reverse side of the remote). The in-
tegrated remote control is compatible 
with radio-frequency devices operating 
between 280-390 MHz.
ț
Put a new battery in hand-held remote 
control
5. This will increase the likeli-
hood of the hand-held remote control 
sending a faster and more accurate sig-
nal to the integrated remote control.
ț
While performing step 3, hold 
hand-held remote control
5 at differ-
ent lengths and angles from the signal 
transmitter button (
2, 3 or 4) you
are programming. Attempt varying 
angles at the distance of 2 to 5 in 
(5 to 12 cm) away or the same angle at 
varying distances.
ț
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.
ț
Straighten the antenna wire from the 
garage door opener assembly. This 
may help improve transmitting and/or 
receiving signals.
i
Certain types of garage door openers are in-
compatible with the integrated remote control. If 
you should experience further difficulties with 
programming 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 
Customer Service (in Canada) at 
1-800-387-0100.
