WARNING Risk of distraction from infor-
mation systems and communications
equipment
If you operate information systems and com-
munication devices integrated 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.
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 central 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.

If the vehicle is tted with the MBUX Interior
Assistant, selected functions of the multime-
dia system can be operated contact-free. In
addition, the reading light or search light can
be switched on or o contact-free.
Numerous application, online services, services
and apps are available for 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 opera-
tion of the most probable navigation destinations,
media sources, radio stations and contacts. The
conguration of the suggestions is completed in
the system settings. You can compile your user
prole from various vehicle settings and settings
of the multimedia system. Some functions and
services are protected by a PIN. You can teach in
biometric procedures to identify yourself with
these instead of the four-digit Mercedes me PIN.
The Notications Centre collects incoming noti-
cations, e.g. about an available soware update.
Depending on the type of notication it oers var-
ious actions. The call is made via the Control
Centre.
With the global search, you can search on the
home screen via categories, e.g. in the navigation,
and on the Internet.
