Version: 3.0.3.6248 Warning and indicator lamps in the instrument cluster
G Warning Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked every other week when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar or, if available, the tire inflation pressure label on the inside of the fuel filler flap. If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the Tire and Loading Information placard or, if available, the tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires. As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure warning lamp when one or more of your tires are significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure warning lamp illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure warning lamp. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure warning lamp. When the system detects a malfunction, the warning lamp will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is lit, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of incompatible replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction warning lamp after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Vehicle equipment
i This manual describes all the standard and optional equipment of your vehicle which was available at the time of purchase. Country-specific differences are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not feature all functions described here. This also refers to safety-related systems and functions.
Loading guidelines
G Warning! Always fasten items being carried as securely as possible. Use cargo tie-down rings and fastening materials appropriate for the weight and size of the load. In an accident, during hard braking or sudden maneuvers, loose items will be thrown around inside the vehicle. This can cause injury to vehicle occupants unless the items are securely fastened in the vehicle. To help avoid personal injury during a collision or sudden maneuver, exercise care when transporting cargo. Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the seat backrests. The trunk is the preferred place to carry objects. Never drive a vehicle with the trunk open. Deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gases may enter vehicle interior resulting in unconsciousness and death.
The handling characteristics of a laden vehicle are dependent on the distribution of the load within the vehicle. For this reason, you should observe the following notes when transporting a load: RWhen transporting a load, never exceed the maximum permissible gross vehicle weight or the permissible axle loads for the vehicle (including occupants). The values are
stated on the vehicle identification plate on the B-pillar on the driver's side.
RPosition heavy loads as far forwards as
possible and as low down in the trunk as possible.
RThe load must not protrude above the
upper edge of the seat backrests.
Ralways place the load against the rear or front seat backrests. Make sure that the seat backrests are securely locked into place.
RAlways place the load behind unoccupied
seats if possible.
RSecure the load with sufficiently strong and wear-resistant tie down. Pad sharp edges for protection.
Stowage compartments Important safety notes G Warning! To help avoid personal injury during a collision or sudden maneuver, exercise care when storing objects in the vehicle. Put luggage or cargo in the trunk if possible. Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the seat backrests. Keep compartment lids closed. This will help to prevent stored objects from being thrown about and injuring vehicle occupants during Rbraking Rvehicle maneuvers Ran accident

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.

Remote control in the rear-view mirror Garage door remote control A is not part of the garage door opener. i To achieve the best result, insert new batteries in garage door remote control A of your garage door drive before programming.
X Erase the memory of the integrated remote control (Y page 268) before programming it for the first time.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
X Press and hold one of transmitter
buttons ; to ? on the integrated remote control. After a short time, indicator lamp : will start flashing. It flashes about once per second.
i Indicator lamp : flashes immediately

X Repeat the procedure for the other
transmitter buttons. When doing so, vary the distance between the garage door's remote control and the transmitter buttons in the rear-view mirror.
i If the garage door system works with a
rolling code, you must synchronize the remote control integrated into the rear- view mirror with the garage door system receiver after programming. You will find further information in the garage door opening system's operating instructions, e.g. the sections on "Synchronizing the transmitter" or "Registering a new transmitter". You can also call the hotline mentioned above.
Notes on programming the remote control Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several seconds of transmission. This may

not be long enough for the integrated signal transmitter to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to "time-out" in the same manner. If you live in Canada or have difficulties programming the garage door opener (regardless of where you live) when using the programming steps (see above), proceed as follows: X Press transmitter button (;, = or ?) and hold it down during the following steps until the setup has been completed successfully.
X At the same time, press transmitter button B of the garage door remote control for two seconds, then release it for two seconds, then press it again for two seconds.
X Repeat this sequence on transmitter button B of the garage door remote control until the frequency signal has been learned.
X If the setup procedure is successful,
indicator lamp : flashes once slowly and goes out after a few seconds.
X Continue with the other programming
steps (see above).
Problems when programming If you have problems when programming the integrated remote control, please note the following: Rcheck the transmitter frequency of garage door remote control A (which can usually be found on the rear of the remote control). The integrated remote control is compatible with equipment that operates in the frequency range 280 to 390 MHz.
Rreplace the batteries in garage door remote control A. This increases the likelihood of garage door remote control A sending a strong and precise signal to the integrated remote control on the rear-view mirror.
RWhen aiming the garage door remote
control at the transmitter buttons on the rear-view mirror, hold garage door remote control A at differing distances and angles from the transmitter button that you are programming. Try different angles from a distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or the same angle from differing distances.
RIf there is another garage door remote
control for the same device, perform the programming steps again using the remote control. Before performing these steps, make sure that new batteries have been installed in the garage door remote control. RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal reception/transmission.
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 also read the operating instructions for the garage door system. X Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
