Safety information  
Vehicle features and options  
This chapter describes all standard, country-  
specific, and optional equipment offered with  
the series. It also describes features and func-  
tions that are not necessarily available in the  
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected options or  
country versions. This also applies to safety  
functions and systems. When using these  
functions and systems, the applicable laws  
and regulations must be observed.  
Warning  
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 and  
risk of property damage. Make sure that the  
travel path of the respective system is clear  
during programming and operation. Also fol-  
low the safety information for the hand-held  
transmitter.  
Integrated universal remote  
control  
Compatibility  
Principle  
If this icon is printed on the packaging  
or in the operating instructions of the  
system to be controlled, the system is  
generally compatible with the integrated Uni-  
versal Remote Control.  
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:  
General information  
An authorized service center or another  
qualified service center or repair shop.  
The Integrated Universal Remote Control re-  
places up to 3 different hand-held transmitters.  
To operate the remote control, the buttons on  
the interior mirror must be programmed with  
the desired functions. The hand-held transmit-  
ter for the particular system is required in order  
to program the remote control.

Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored  
functions 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  
possible operation.

General information  
The battery of the hand-held transmitter must  
be fully charged at the time of programming  
to ensure an optimal range of the integrated  
universal remote control.  
Repeat steps 3 to 6.  
To program other functions on other buttons,  
repeat steps 3 to 5.  
Special feature of the rolling code  
wireless system  
1. Turn on standby state.  
2. Initial commissioning:  
If you are unable to operate the remote-con-  
trolled system after repeated programming,  
please check if the system to be controlled fea-  
tures a rolling code radio system.  
Press and hold the two outer buttons  
on the interior mirror simultaneously for  
approximately 10 seconds until the LED  
flashes green rapidly. This erases all pro-  
gramming of the buttons on the interior  
mirror.  
Refer to the operating instructions for the sys-  
tem.  
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 sys-  
tem to be used approx. 1 to 12 in/2.5 to  
30 cm away from the buttons on the inte-  
rior mirror. The required distance depends  
on the hand-held transmitter.  
Please read the operating instructions to find  
out how to synchronize the system.  
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a sec-  
ond person.

LTE-Compensator - Information  
and User Manual  
General information  
A warning can be given if a Qi-certified mobile  
phone was forgotten in the wireless charging  
tray when leaving the vehicle.  
Your car is equipped with a wireless charging  
tray (WCA) to charge your mobile phone and  
connect it to the mobile network. To ensure  
the best possible connection a signal booster  
(LTE-Compensator) is used in conjunction with  
the WCA. The following paragraphs refer to  
this booster:
