Overview of the toll system

The toll system is optional equipment and is

not available in all vehicles.

Debiting of toll charges at freeway toll gates is

facilitated with an electronic payment system.

The toll system uses RFID (Radio Frequency Iden-

tication) for data transfer between the control

unit and the toll station.

The toll system is initially switched o at the fac-

tory.

The control unit is in the vehicle glove box.

In order to be able to use the toll system, it must

have been registered by the customer and activa-

ted by the service provider:

Activate the toll system in the settings of the

MBUX multimedia system or on the control

unit.

There are two ways to register and activate:

In the Mercedes me App, register the unit

identication number of the control unit

and activate the toll system.

Alternatively, you can register and activate

via the

Toll Service app.

Activation of the toll system can take up to

48 hours aer registration.

When the toll system is activated, the automatic

detection of the number of vehicle occupants is

initially switched o at the factory. The number of

vehicle occupants is preset with one person.

The following applies for roads on which toll

charges are dependent on the number of vehicle

occupants:

If the automatic detection of the number of

vehicle occupants is switched o, the number

of vehicle occupants must be selected man-

ually. This ensures correct toll accounting.

The number of vehicle occupants can be

transmitted automatically. In the process, the

number of seat belts worn is determined.

If the number of detected persons does not

correspond with the number of persons

actually in the vehicle, the number of persons

must be manually selected.

The standard setting of one person does not need

to be changed for roads which require toll pay-

ment regardless of the number of vehicle occu-

pants.

The toll system enables the payment of toll

charges in many states of the USA.

In Mexico, for example, the toll system can be

registered and activated for journeys to the

USA.

Notes on use

You can only use the toll system once registra-

tion and activation are complete.

Drive at the prescribed vehicle speed in the

toll lane.

Mercedes-Benz recommends operation using

the MBUX multimedia system. Alternatively,

this can also be done on the control unit in

the glove box.

For safety reasons, entries should be made

while the vehicle is stationary.

For further information, please consult the

Mercedes me App or an authorized Mercedes-

Benz Center.

Notes on the dashcam

NOTE Risk of legal consequences due to

violation of legal regulations and data pro-

tection provisions

You are legally responsible for operation and

use of the dashcam functions.

The legal requirements relating to operation

and use of the dashcam can vary depending

on the country in which the dashcam is oper-

ated.

This function is not permitted in all countries.

MBUX multimedia system

249

Before using the dashcam, read up on

the content of the legal regulations, in

particular the data protection require-

ments in the respective country of use.

Observe the legal regulations, in particu-

lar the data protection requirements.

Observe the following instructions for safe

operation:

Only use FAT32 or exFAT formatted USB

storage devices.

Use USB-IF certied USB storage devices.

USB-IF is a non-prot corporation and

stands for USB Implementers Forum.

Based on the USB specication, USB-IF

certies, for example, USB versions, cor-

responding cables and plugs as well as

energy supply processes via the USB

interface.

USB storage devices may be damaged if

oen or permanently overwritten at high

speed. Mercedes-Benz recommends a

high-quality external SSD drive.

The abbreviation SSD stands for Solid

State Drive.

The le size and therefore the duration of sin-

gle recording is limited by the limitations of

the USB ash drive format. So FAT32 format-

ted USB ash drives do not allow les larger

than 4 GB, for example.

When the le size is reached, the recording

stops and you receive a notication.

▌Notes on telephony

WARNING Risk of distraction from operat-

ing integrated communication equipment

while the vehicle is in motion

If you operate communication equipment inte-

grated in the vehicle when driving, you could

be distracted from the trac situation. This

could also cause you to lose control of the

vehicle.

Only operate this equipment when the

trac situation permits.

If you cannot be sure of this, stop the

vehicle whilst paying attention to road

and trac conditions and operate the

equipment with the vehicle stationary.

WARNING Risk of accident from operating

mobile communication equipment while

the vehicle is in motion

Mobile communication devices distract the

driver from the trac situation. This can also

cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

As a driver, only operate mobile commu-

nication devices when the vehicle is sta-

tionary.

As a vehicle occupant, use mobile com-

munication devices only in the designa-

ted area, e.g. in the rear passenger com-

partment.

You must observe the legal requirements for the

country in which you are currently driving when

operating the multimedia system and mobile com-

munication equipment in the vehicle.

WARNING Risk of injury due to objects

being stowed incorrectly

If objects in the vehicle interior are stowed

incorrectly, they can slide or be thrown around
