Telephone*

Radio transmitters, such as a portable tele-

phone or a citizens band unit, should only

be used inside the vehicle if they are con-

nected to an antenna that is installed on

the outside of the vehicle.

The external antenna must be approved by

Mercedes-Benz. Please contact an autho-

rized Mercedes-Benz Center for informa-

tion on the installation of an approved

external antenna. Refer to the radio trans-

mitter operation instructions regarding use

of an external antenna.

Warning! G

Never touch the heating element or sides of

the lighter; they are extremely hot. Hold the

knob only.

When leaving the vehicle, always remove the

SmartKey from the starter switch, and lock

your vehicle. Do not leave children unat-

tended in the vehicle, or with access to an

unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehi-

cle equipment may cause an accident

and/or serious personal injury.

The lighter socket can be used to

accommodate electrical accessories

up to a maximum 85 W.

The electrical outlet can be used to

accommodate electrical consumers

(e.g. air pump, auxiliary lamps) up to a

maximum of 180 W.

Warning! G

Never operate radio transmitters equipped

with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. with-

out being connected to an external antenna)

from inside the vehicle while the engine is

running. Doing so could lead to a malfunc-

tion of the vehicle’s electronic system, pos-

sibly resulting in an accident and personal

injury.

tions on how to use the telephone.

Tele Aid*

Warning! G

Please do not forget that your primary re-

sponsibility is to drive the vehicle. A driver’s

attention to the road must always be

his/her primary focus when driving. For

your safety and the safety of others, we rec-

ommend that you pull over to a safe location

and stop before placing or taking a tele-

phone call.

If you choose to use the telephone

while

driving, please use the hands-free device

and only use the telephone when road,

weather and traffic conditions permit. Some

jurisdictions prohibit the driver from using a

cellular telephone while driving a vehicle.

Only operate the COMAND* (Cockpit Man-

agement and Data System)

if road, weather

and traffic conditions permit.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph

(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is

covering a distance of 44 feet

(approximately 14 m) every second.

Observe all legal requirements.

Warning! G

Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from

using a cellular telephone while driving a

vehicle. Whether or not prohibited by law,

for safety reasons, the driver should not use

the cellular telephone while the vehicle is in

motion.

Stop the vehicle in a safe location before

answering or placing a call.

The initial activation of the Tele Aid

system may only be performed by

completing the subscriber agreement

and placing an acquaintance call using

the ¡ button. Failure to complete

either of these steps will result in a

system that is not activated.

If you have any questions regarding

activation, please call the Response

Center at 1-800-756-9018 (in the USA)

or 1-888-923-8367 (in Canada).

The Tele Aid system

(Tele

matic Alarm Identification on

Demand)

The Tele Aid system consists of three

types of response:

앫 automatic and manual emergency

앫 roadside assistance and

앫 information

The Tele Aid system is operational provid-

ing that the vehicle’s battery is charged,

properly connected, not damaged and

cellular and GPS coverage is available.

The speaker volume of a Tele Aid call can

be adjusted when using the volume control

on the multifunction steering wheel. To

raise, press button æ and to lower,

press button ç. The volume can also be

adjusted using the volume knob on your

audio system or COMAND* head unit.

왘 To activate, press the SOS button, the

Roadside Assistance button • or

the Information button ¡, depend-

ing on the type of response required.

Shortly after the completion of your Tele

Aid acquaintance call, you will receive a

user ID and password. By visiting

m and selecting “Tele Aid”

(USA only), you will have access to account

information, remote door unlock and

more.

System self-check

Initially, after switching on ignition, mal-

functions are detected and indicated (the

indicator lamps in the SOS button, the

Roadside Assistance button • and the

Information button ¡ stay on longer

than ten seconds or do not come on). The

message

Tele Aid malfunction. Drive

to workshop

appears in the multifunction

display.

The SOS button is located above the

interior rear view mirror.

The Roadside Assistance button •

and the Information button ¡ are

located below the center armrest

cover.

The Tele Aid system utilizes the cellular

network for communication and the

GPS (Global Positioning System) satel-

lites for vehicle location. If either of

these signals are unavailable, the

Tele Aid system may not function and if

this occurs, assistance must be sum-

moned by other means.

Do not use the integrated remote control

with any garage door opener that lacks

safety stop and reverse features as required

by U.S. federal safety standards (this

includes any garage door opener model

manufactured before April 1, 1982).

A garage door that cannot detect an object

- signaling the door to stop and reverse -

does not meet current U.S. federal safety

standards.

Certain types of garage door openers

are incompatible with the integrated

opener. If you should experience

difficulties with programming the

transmitter, contact an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center, or call

Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance

Center (in the USA only) at

1-800-FOR-MERCedes, or Customer

Service (in Canada) at

Programming or reprogramming the

integrated remote control

Step 1:

왘 Switch on ignition (컄 page 33).

Step 2:

왘 If you have previously programmed an

integrated signal transmitter button

and wish to retain its programming,

proceed to step 3. Otherwise, press

and hold the two outer signal transmit-

ter buttons 2 and 4 and release

them only when the indicator lamp 1

begins to flash after approximately

20 seconds (do not hold the button for

longer than 30 seconds). This proce-

dure erases any previous settings for

all three channels and initializes the

memory. If you later wish to program a

second and/or third hand-held trans-

mitter to the remaining two signal

transmitter buttons, do not repeat this

step and begin directly with step 3.

Step 3:

왘 Hold the end of the hand-held remote

control transmitter 6 of the device

you wish to train approximately 2 to

5 in (5 to12 cm) away from the surface

of the integrated remote control

located on the interior rear view mirror,

keeping the indicator lamp 1 in view.

Step 4:

왘 Using both hands, simultaneously

press the hand-held transmitter

button 5 and the desired integrated

signal transmitter button (2, 3

or 4). Do not release the buttons until

completing step 5.

The indicator lamp 1 on the

integrated remote control will flash,

first slowly and then rapidly.

Step 5:

왘 When the indicator lamp 1 flashes

rapidly, release both buttons.

Step 6:

왘 Press and hold the just-trained

integrated signal transmitter button

and observe the indicator lamp 1.

If the indicator lamp 1 stays on

constantly, programming is complete

and your device should activate when

the integrated signal transmitter

button is pressed and released.

Rolling code programming

To train a garage door opener (or other

rolling code devices) with the rolling code

feature, follow these instructions after

completing the “Programming” portion

(steps 1 through 6) of this text. (A second

person may make the following training

procedures quicker and easier.)

Step 8:

왘 Locate “training” button on the garage

door opener motor head unit.

Exact location and color of the button

may vary by garage door opener brand.

Depending on manufacturer, the

“training” button may also be referred

to as “learn”or “smart” button. If there

is difficulty locating the transmitting

button, refer to the garage door opener

operator’s manual.

Step 9:

왘 Press “training” button on the garage

door opener motor head unit.

The “training light” is activated.

You have 30 seconds to initiate the

following step.

Step 10:

release the programmed integrated

signal transmitter button (2, 3

or 4).

Step 11:

왘 Press, hold for two seconds and

release same button a second time to

complete the training process.

Some garage door openers (or other rolling

code equipped devices) may require you to

perform this procedure a third time to

complete the training.

If the indicator lamp 1 flashes rapidly

for about two seconds and then turns

to a constant light, continue with

programming steps 8 through 12 as

your garage door opener may be

equipped with the “rolling code”

feature.

Gate operator/Canadian programming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require

transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)

after several seconds of transmission

which may not be long enough for the

integrated signal transmitter to pick up the

signal during programming. Similar to this

Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators

are designed to “time-out” in the same

manner.

If you live in Canada or if you are having

difficulties programming a gate operator

(regardless of where you live) by using the

programming procedures, replace step 4

with the following:

Step 4:
