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

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
