Actory Ervice Ulletins: Infrared Remote Central Locking System All Models Beginning in 1996

The document provides instructions for synchronizing infrared remote central locking systems for various Mercedes-Benz models from 1996 onwards. It discusses checking transmitter batteries and contacts, as well as procedures for synchronizing replacement transmitters that differ depending on the vehicle model year. The system retains a memory of transmitters used, automatically desynchronizing old transmitters when new ones are synchronized. Stolen transmitters can be blocked using a hand-held tester.
