General information
The built-in universal transceiver allows you to conveniently combine the functions of up to three individual hand-held remote controls and allows you to control the operation of most radio-frequency operating devices, such as a garage door opener, door lock actuators, security systems, etc. The transceiver is powered by an on-board battery, which eliminates the need for periodic battery replacement. The transceiver's memory is ROM-based, which means there is no need to re-enter data after disconnecting the battery.
Warning! The built-in universal transceiver is not intended for use with garage door openers that do not have an emergency stop reversing function. These requirements have been standardized for production units since April 1, 1982!
Programming the Universal Transceiver
Note. Once the programming code has been entered into the transceiver, the original transmitter should be retained in case re-programming is required (e.g. when buying a new car). When selling a car, the transceiver program code must be deleted from the device’s memory for security reasons. See below for details.
Attention! When entering the program code, the garage doors may start to open or close spontaneously - make sure that there are no people or pets in the doorway! Transceiver programming must be done with the engine off!
With the ignition off (key in position 1 or 2) press the left button of the transmitter on the overhead console of the car and, keeping it pressed, wait until the control LED mounted in the console just above the buttons starts flashing at a frequency of about 1 time per second.
Note. During the initial programming of any of the buttons, as well as when reprogramming after resetting the settings, the LED starts flashing almost immediately, when reprogramming a button already in use, the LED is activated only after about 20 seconds.
Without releasing the left button of the control panel, point the portable remote control from the standard configuration to the actuator, which will be controlled from this button, with the end equipped with a radiator to the left side of the saloon rear-view mirror, into which the antenna part of the transceiver is integrated and, without leaving the field of view control LED, press the control button of the portable remote control. Keep the button pressed until the blinking frequency of the control LED doubles, confirming that the information entered is correct.
Note. If the gate operating mechanism is equipped with a code change function (Rolling-Code), then you should synchronize the transceiver with the standard transmitter of the driven device, - see the instruction manual for the device.
The remaining two buttons on the control panel are programmed in a similar manner.
Rules for using a universal transceiver
After entering the appropriate program code, the transceiver can be used to control the corresponding actuator (e.g. controlling the operation of a garage door drive). To activate the device, simply press the appropriate button on the transceiver control panel (the key in the car ignition must be turned to position 1 or 2), - during the transmission of the control signal, the indicator light should work.
Note. The emitter functions with the button pressed continuously for 20 seconds, after which the command transmission process is interrupted, and the control LED switches to flashing mode - if necessary, press the control button again.
Diagnosis of program code input errors
If it is not possible to enter information from the handheld transmitter into the transceiver's memory quickly enough, proceed as follows:
- a) Replace the battery of the portable remote control;
- b) Make sure that the handheld remote control you bring to the transceiver is oriented correctly (the side with the battery compartment must be outside);
- c) Try to hold the simultaneously pressed buttons on both devices fairly securely;
- d) Make sure that the transmitter is at a distance of no more than 125 mm from the transceiver when entering information. If within 15 seconds the flashing frequency of the indicator light does not increase, confirming the success of entering the program code, try repeating the procedure by slightly changing the position of the transmitter relative to the transceiver - keep the indicator in sight at all times.
If you cannot enter the code under any circumstances, contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz workshop for advice.
Resetting the memory of the universal transceiver
The possibility of clearing the data entered for a separate button of the transceiver is not provided by the design of the device. To delete all the entered information, hold down the two side buttons on the transceiver control panel simultaneously for about 20 seconds. The buttons can be released as soon as the control LED starts flashing.
Note. It is recommended to clear the memory of the universal transmitter before selling the vehicle.
What to do in case of car theft
In the event of a car theft, the actuators of all transceiver-driven devices that are not equipped with a code interleaving function must be reprogrammed - if necessary, consult the representatives of the respective manufacturers.
When returning a stolen car, all buttons of the built-in transceiver should be reprogrammed.
Sun visors
The sun visors protect the eyes of the driver/front passenger from direct sunlight from both the front and the side.
Sun visors have two working positions - to protect against side rays, release the visor from the retainer (arrow) and deploy it to the door glass (driver's visor shown).
On some models, a vanity mirror equipped with a hinged cover can be additionally equipped on the back of the sun visor. Opening the mirror cover with the ignition on (key in position 1 or 2) leads to the activation of the mirror illumination.
