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.
*
NOTE
Increased surface temperature due to direct sunlight on the cen‐
tral display
The surface of the central display is very dark.
If the display is exposed to direct sunlight, the surface can become very
hot.
#
If the central display has been exposed to direct sunlight,
allow it to cool down before touching it for a long time.

THE FUNCTIONS OF YOUR MBUX MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM MAY

Market

National version

Technical conditions
Functions and Digital Extras provided by Mercedes-Benz and/or
third-party providers may no longer be available when the con‐
tractual period expires. This may also be due to technical pre-
requisites. There is therefore no entitlement to the continuous
provision of functions and Digital Extras.
The described functions may be modified, optimised and adap‐
ted after the time of going to press.

Mercedes-Benz therefore reserves the right to introduce changes
to functions and Digital Extras.
For these reasons, descriptions and depictions relating to the
MBUX multimedia system may, in some cases, differ for your
vehicle.

Alternatively, the MBUX Voice Assistant allows voice dialogue.
Operation with natural speech starts after the wake-up call "Hey
Mercedes" (/page400). You can start a voice navigation, for
example.
%
If the vehicle is fitted with the MBUX Interior Assistant, selec‐
ted functions of the multimedia system can be operated contact-
free. In addition, the reading light or search light can be switched
on or off contact-free.
Numerous apps and Digital Extras are available to you. These can be called up
via the home screen.
You can conveniently call up your favourites using the ß button on the
steering wheel. Quick-access in the home screen and in the applications serve
to select functions more quickly.
If you use the learning function of the multimedia system, you will receive
suggestions during operation of the most probable navigation destinations,
media sources, radio stations and contacts. The configuration of the sugges‐
tions is completed in the system settings. You can compile your user profile
from various vehicle settings and settings of the multimedia system. Some
functions and Digital Extras are protected by a PIN. You can teach in biometric
procedures to identify yourself with these instead of the four-digit Mercedes
me ID PIN.

NOTES ON USER PROFILES

WARNING
Risk of becoming trapped during adjustment of the driver's seat
after calling up a driver profile
Selecting a user profile may trigger an adjustment of the driver's seat
to the position saved under the user profile. You or other vehicle occu‐
pants could be injured in the process.
#
Make sure that when the position of driver's seat is being
adjusted using the multimedia system, no people or body
parts are in the seat's range of movement.
If there is a risk of someone becoming trapped, immediately stop the
adjustment process by:
#
a) Tapping the warning message on the central display.
or
#
b) Pressing a position button of the memory function or a seat
adjustment switch in the driver's door.
The adjustment process is stopped.
The electrically adjustable driver's seat is equipped with an automatic revers‐
ing function.
If the driver's door is open, the driver's seat will not be set after calling up the
driver's profile.
OVERVIEW OF USER PROFILES
REQUIREMENTS FOR USE
R
You have registered with a Mercedes me ID and confirmed the terms of
use.
R
Your Mercedes me ID is linked to the vehicle.
R
You have a Mercedes me ID PIN.
%
If one of the pre-requisites listed is missing or if no user profile
has been selected, the data described in the following section
will be saved in the vehicle as the standard setting. Standard
settings can be changed by all vehicle users.
User profiles save personal settings. If the vehicle is used by several people, a
person can change their profile settings without changing the settings of other
users.
You can individualise a user profile in the vehicle using the set-up assistant
or using the settings in your user profile. Some settings, e.g. the Mercedes me
ID PIN and a profile photo, are made in the Mercedes-Benz App or on the
Mercedes-Benz website.
%
If the user profile is downloaded while travelling, user profiles
are not set up using the set-up assistant.
User-specific content and applications with personal data are protected by
different levels of security (/page418).
To access protected content, the Mercedes me ID PIN and, depending on the
vehicle equipment, biometric sensors are used.

available sensors into account.
THE FOLLOWING USER-SPECIFIC CONTENT AND APPLICATIONS ARE PRO‐
TECTED, FOR EXAMPLE:
R
