The integrated HomeLink garage door opener in the Mercedes E-Class (4th generation, W212, 2009–2016) makes it easier to operate gates and barriers. This section describes programming, use and safety information so that operation is convenient and safe.

General Notes

The integrated HomeLink garage door opener in the interior mirror can operate up to three different door and gate systems.

After programming, the integrated garage door opener in the interior mirror takes over the function of the garage door system's remote control. See also the operating instructions for the garage door system.

When programming a garage door opener, park the vehicle outside the garage. Do not leave the engine running during programming.

The garage door opener is only available in certain countries. Observe the legal regulations in each country.

The HomeLink garage door opener is compatible with most garage and external gate drives within Europe. For more information about HomeLink and/or compatible products, contact:

Important Safety Notes

WARNING

When you operate or program the garage door with the integrated garage door opener, persons in the movement area of the garage door may be trapped or struck by the garage door. There is a risk of injury!

When using the integrated garage door opener, always make sure that no one is within the range of movement of the garage door.

  • When the indicator lamplights red: repeat the programming procedure for the corresponding button on the interior mirror. Change the distance between the remote controland the interior mirror. The required distance between the remote controland the integrated garage door opener depends on the garage door operator system. Further attempts may be necessary. Keep each tested position for at least 25 seconds before trying another position.

    Rolling code synchronization

    Observe the "Important Safety Notes".

    If the garage door system works with a rolling code, you must additionally synchronize the garage door system with the integrated garage door opener in the interior mirror. You need the programming button on the operating unit of the door operator for this. Depending on the manufacturer, the programming button may be in different locations. Usually it is on the ceiling of the garage, on the door operator unit.

    Refer to the operating instructions of the garage door operator, e.g. under "Teaching in additional remote controls", before carrying out the following steps.

    Your vehicle must be within range of the garage or exterior door operator. Make sure that your vehicle, persons and objects are not within the movement area of the door.

    Turn the key in the ignition to position 2.

    Exit the vehicle.

    Press the programming button on the door operator unit.

    You normally then have 30 seconds to initiate the next step.

    Re-enter the vehicle.

    times in quick succession, press the previously programmed button, orof the integrated garage door opener until the door closes.

  • The rolling code synchronization is complete.

    Problems during programming

    If you have problems programming the integrated garage door opener in the interior mirror, observe the following notes:
    • Check which transmission frequency the remote controlof the garage door operator uses and whether it is supported. The transmission frequency can usually be found on the back of the garage door operator's remote control.
    • Replace the batteries in the remote controlof the garage door operator. This increases the likelihood that the remote controlsends a stronger and more accurate signal to the integrated garage door opener.
    • When programming, hold the remote controlat different distances and angles from the button you are programming. Try different angles at a distance of 5 to 30 cm, or the same angle at different distances.
    • If another remote control is available for the same garage door operator, repeat the programming steps with this remote control. Before carrying out the steps, make sure that there are new batteries in the remote controlof the garage door operator.
    • Note that some remote controls only transmit for a limited time (the indicator light on the remote control goes out). Press the button again before the transmission time expiresthe remote control.
    • Align the antenna wire of the garage door opener unit. This can help to transmit and/or receive signals better.
