How to Program Garage Door Opener in Your Mercedes-Benz

A Guide to Use the Garage Opener in New Mercedes-Benz Vehicles 

3-minute Read – Owning a Mercedes-Benz means enjoying luxurious comfort, innovative technology, and unparalleled convenience. One feature that enhances your overall driving experience is the integrated garage door opener, designed to operate your garage door.  

Programming may initially seem complex, but it’s a straightforward process with the proper guidance. Follow this step-by-step guide jotted down by our team at Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead in Peoria, AZ, to set up your garage door opener and unlock a new level of convenience.



Steps to Program and Operate the Garage Door Opener in Mercedes-Benz 

Step 1: Clear Previous Pairings 

Before you start, it’s essential to clear any previously stored settings on your Mercedes-Benz garage door opener. This ensures a clean slate for your programming. Locate the three buttons on your rearview mirror. Press and hold the first and third buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds. Watch for the indicator light to turn green, confirming the reset is complete. 

Step 2: Program the Mirror 

Now it’s time to pair your garage door remote with your Mercedes-Benz. Follow these steps. 

  • Decide which button on the mirror you want to use for the garage door. 
  • Press and hold the selected button until the indicator light flashes yellow. 
  • Hold your garage door remote close to the mirror. While holding, press and hold the button on the remote. 

Once the pairing is successful, the indicator light will change to solid green. If this doesn’t happen right away, adjust the position of the remote and repeat the process. This step completes the programming for systems with a fixed code, and your garage door is ready to operate.

Step 3: Synchronize Rolling Code Systems 

Most modern garage doors use a rolling code system for enhanced security, which requires additional steps. If the light flashes green, follow these steps. 

  • Locate the training button or smart button on your garage door opener. This is usually found on the opener’s motor unit. Refer to your garage door opener’s manual for specific details. 
  • Press the training button on the garage door opener. 
  • Return to your Mercedes-Benz within 30 seconds. Press the programmed button on your mirror for two seconds, then release it. Repeat this step up to three times until the garage door moves. 

Once synchronized, your garage door opener and Mercedes-Benz are fully connected. 

Step 4: Program Additional Garage Doors 

If you have more than one garage door, programming additional doors is just as simple. Select a different button on the mirror and repeat the pairing and synchronization steps for each door. 

Important Safety Note 

For added security, the garage door opener in your Mercedes-Benz will only work when your smart key is inside the vehicle. This prevents unauthorized access and keeps your home and vehicle secure.
