Overview of the MBUX multimedia system

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.

The functions of your MBUX multimedia sys-

tem may dier and depend on the following

factors:

Market

National version

Technical conditions

Functions, services and service aspects provi-

ded by Mercedes-Benz and/or third-party

providers may no longer be available when the

contractual period expires or due to technical

conditions. There is therefore no entitlement

to the continuous provision of functions and

services.

The described functions may be modied,

optimised and adapted aer the time of going

to press.

Mercedes-Benz therefore reserves the right to

introduce changes in the following areas:

▌Notes on user proles

WARNING Risk of becoming trapped dur-

ing adjustment of the driver's seat aer

calling up a driver prole

Selecting a user prole may trigger an adjust-

ment of the driver's seat to the position saved

under the user prole. You or other vehicle

occupants could be injured in the process.

Make sure that when the position of driv-

er's seat is being adjusted using the mul-

timedia system, no people or body parts

are in the seat's range of movement.

If there is a risk of someone becoming trap-

ped, immediately stop the adjustment process

by:

a) Pressing the warning message on the

central display.

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 driver's seat is equipped with an anti-entrap-

ment feature.

If the driver's door is open, the driver's seat will

not be set aer calling up the driver's prole.

▌Overview of user proles

Requirements for use

You have a Mercedes me user account.

You have a Mercedes me PIN.

You have agreed to the terms of use.

The vehicle is linked to a Mercedes me user

account.

If one of the pre-requisites listed is missing or

if no user prole 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 vehi-

User proles save personal settings. If the vehicle

is used by several people, a person can change

their prole settings without changing the settings

of other users.

You can individualise a user prole in the vehicle

using the set-up assistant or using the settings in

your user prole. Some settings, e.g. the

Mercedes me PIN and a prole photo are made in

the Mercedes me App or in the Mercedes me Por-

tal.

If the user prole is downloaded while travel-

ling, user proles are not set up using the set-

up assistant.

User-specic content and applications with per-

sonal data are protected by dierent levels of

security (/ page 498).

To access protected content, the Mercedes me

PIN and, depending on the vehicle equipment,

biometric sensors are used.

The security level is set by the multimedia sys-

tem and calculated from the combination of

all sensor inputs. Some security levels cannot

be turned o.

When a user prole is activated, the following

personalised comfort systems, for example,

can be adjusted or their settings loaded:

Seat

Ambient light

Outside mirrors

Climate control settings

If the user prole is activated when driving

then the driver's seat position will not be

adjusted.

User-specic content

Depending on the vehicle equipment you can, as

a user, save the following settings, for example:

Driver's seat, steering wheel and mirror set-

tings
