INFORMATION ON CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET

WARNING

Risk of distraction from information systems and communications

equipment

If you operate information systems and communication devices integra‐

ted in the vehicle when driving, you could be distracted from the traffic

situation. This could also cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

Only operate this equipment when the traffic situation per‐

mits.

If you cannot be sure of this, stop the vehicle whilst paying

attention to road and traffic conditions and operate the equip‐

ment with the vehicle stationary.

You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are

currently driving when operating the multimedia system.

WARNING

Risk of accident from operating mobile communication equipment

while the vehicle is in motion

Mobile communication devices distract the driver from the traffic situa‐

tion. This can also cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

As a driver, only operate mobile communication devices when

the vehicle is stationary.

As a vehicle occupant, use mobile communication devices

only in the designated area, e.g. in the rear passenger com‐

partment.

You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are cur‐

rently driving when operating mobile communication equipment in the vehicle.

DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE'S EQUIPMENT AND AVAILABILITY IN THE

COUNTRY, YOU CAN ESTABLISH AN INTERNET CONNECTION IN THE FOL‐

LOWING WAYS:

Vehicles with a communication module:

Using the communication module including data roaming

(/page531)

Using Bluetooth

or Wi-Fi with a data-enabled mobile phone

Vehicles without a communication module:

Using Bluetooth

or Wi-Fi with a data-enabled mobile phone

For most Digital Extras, data volume can be obtained when procuring the

Digital Extras.

Additional data volume is required to use some functions, e.g. web browser or

Wi-Fi hotspot.

If the data volume is reached, availability of the Digital Extras is limited.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, you can obtain an Entertainment Pack‐

age via the Mercedes-Benz Store. In order to use the data package included,

you must conclude your own contract with a mobile phone network provider

via the Mercedes-Benz App. This can be terminated at any time and incurs

no costs. Without this contract it is not possible to use the Digital Extras

included in the previously acquired Entertainment Package. The availability of

this option is dependent on the country.

If the data package option is not available or can be upgraded, you can

purchase data volume directly from the mobile phone network provider for a

fee. The availability of this option is dependent on the country.

Visit a Mercedes-Benz service centre to find out whether it is

possible to purchase data volume in your country directly from a

mobile phone network provider.

Alternatively, and if available, you can utilise the tethering func‐

tion of a mobile phone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth

to use the web

browser or Wi-Fi hotspot.

With external Wi-Fi hotspots, which are encrypted via TKIP,

online software updates cannot be carried out via the external

Wi-Fi hotspot.
