Your vehicle is equipped with the Mercedes-Benz

help save lives in the event of an accident. eCall

in no way replaces assistance provided from

dialing 911.

Mercedes-Benz eCall only functions in areas

where mobile phone coverage is available from

the wireless service providers. Insufficient net‐

work coverage from the wireless service provid‐

ers may result in an emergency call not being

transmitted.

eCall is a standard feature in your Mercedes-

the system relies on the transmission of data

detailed in the "Mercedes-Benz emergency call

to deactivate the vehicle's communication mod‐

ule.
