Vehicle features and  
options  
Warning  
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐  
cific and optional features offered with the series.  
It also describes features and functions that are  
not necessarily available in your vehicle, e.g., due  
to the selected options or country versions. This  
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐  
tems. When using these functions and systems,  
the applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐  
served.  
The operation of remote-controlled systems  
with the integrated universal remote control,  
such as the garage door, may result in injury,  
for example, body parts becoming jammed in a  
garage door. There is a risk of injury or risk of  
damage to property. Make sure that the area of  
movement of the respective system is clear  
during programming and operation. Also follow  
the safety information of the hand-held trans‐  
mitter.  
Integrated Universal  
Remote Control  
Compatibility  
If this symbol is printed on the packaging  
or in the owner's manual of the system to  
be controlled, the system is generally  
compatible with the integrated Universal Remote  
Control.  
Concept  
The integrated Universal Remote Control in the  
interior mirror can operate up to 3 functions of  
remote-controlled systems such as garage door  
drives, barriers, or lighting systems.  
Additional questions are answered by:  
A dealer's service center or another qualified  
service center or repair shop.  
General information  
The Integrated Universal Remote Control repla‐  
ces up to 3 different hand-held transmitters. To  
operate the remote control, the buttons on the  
interior mirror must be programmed with the de‐  
sired functions. The hand-held transmitter for the  
particular system is required in order to program  
the remote control.

Corporation.  
Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored func‐  
tions for the sake of security.  
If possible, do not install the antenna of the re‐  
mote-controlled system, e.g. the garage door  
drive, near metal objects to ensure the best pos‐  
sible operation.

General information  
The battery of the hand-held transmitter must be  
fully charged at the time of programming to en‐  
sure an optimal range of the integrated universal  
remote control.  
Repeat steps 3 to 6.  
To program other functions on other buttons, re‐  
peat steps 3 to 5.  
1. Switch on the ignition.  
2. Initial setup:  
Special feature of the rolling code  
wireless system  
If you are unable to operate the remote-control‐  
led system after repeated programming, please  
check if the system to be controlled features a  
rolling code radio system.  
Press and hold the two outer buttons on the  
interior mirror simultaneously for approxi‐  
mately 10 seconds until the LED flashes  
green rapidly. This erases all programming of  
the buttons on the interior mirror.  
Refer to the owner's manual for the system.  
3. Press the interior mirror button to be pro‐  
grammed. The LED on the interior mirror will  
slowly begin flashing orange.  
For systems with a rolling code radio system, the  
integrated Universal Remote Control and the  
system also have to be synchronized.  
4. Hold the hand-held transmitter for the system  
to be used approx. 1 to 12 in/2.5 to 30 cm  
away from the buttons on the interior mirror.  
The required distance depends on the hand-  
held transmitter.  
Please read the owner's manual to find out how  
to synchronize the system.  
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a second  
person.  
5. Press and hold the button of the desired  
function on the hand-held transmitter.

Charging the rechargeable battery of a mo‐  
bile phone with Qi capability and of other mo‐  
bile devices, which support the Qi standard.  
Due to the large number of USB devices  
available on the market, it cannot be guaran‐  
teed that every device is operable on the ve‐  
hicle.  
Connect the mobile phone to the external an‐  
tenna.  
Depending on the country, this provides for  
better network reception and a consistent re‐  
production quality.  
Do not expose USB devices to extreme envi‐  
ronmental conditions, such as very high tem‐  
peratures; refer to the owner's manual of the  
device.  
General information  
Due to the many different compression tech‐  
niques, proper playback of the media stored  
on the USB device cannot be guaranteed in  
all cases.  
When inserting the mobile phone, make sure  
there are no objects between it and the wireless  
charging tray.  
During charging, the surface of the tray and the  
mobile phone may become warm. Higher tem‐  
peratures may lead to a reduction in the charge  
current through the mobile phone, and in iso‐  
lated cases the charging process is paused tem‐  
porarily. Follow the relevant instructions in the  
mobile phone owner's manual.  
A connected USB device will be supplied  
with charge current via the USB port if the  
device supports this. At higher temperatures,  
the charge current through the USB device  
may be reduced.  
To ensure proper transmission of the stored  
data, do not charge a USB device via the on‐  
board socket, when it is connected to the  
USB port.  
NOTE  
This device has been tested for human exposure  
limits and found compliant at a minimum dis‐  
tance of 4 in/10 cm during operation.  
Depending on how the USB device is being  
used, settings may be required on the USB  
storage device, refer to the owner's manual of  
the device.  
Therefore, a distance of 4 in/10 cm must be  
maintained in every direction when operating the  
device.

Safety information  
Functional requirements  
The mobile phone must compatibly support  
the required Qi standard.  
Warning  
If the mobile phone does not support the Qi  
standard, the mobile phone can be charged  
using a special Qi-compatible charging case.  
When charging a device that meets the Qi  
standard in the wireless charging tray, any  
metal objects located between the device and  
the tray can become very hot. Placing storage  
devices or electronic cards, such as chip cards,  
cards with magnetic strips or cards for signal  
transmission, between the device and the tray  
may impair the card function. There is a risk of  
injury and risk of damage to property. When  
charging mobile devices, make sure there are  
no objects between the device and the tray.  
The ignition is switched on.  
Observe the maximum dimensions of the  
mobile phone.  
Use only protective jackets and covers up to  
a maximum thickness of 0.07 in/2 mm. Oth‐  
erwise, the charging function may be im‐

WCA. The following paragraphs refer to this  
booster:  
You must not remove the booster from the car  
nor use it with any other than the preinstalled  
coupling device or antenna. Any modification of  
the existing antenna or coupling device as well as  
the use of other antennas or coupling devices  
will cause the cease of the booster´s operating li‐
