Tele Aid
Important!
The initial activation of the Tele Aid system may only be
performed by completing the subscriber agreement and
placing an acquaintance call using the “SOS” button.
Failure to complete either of these steps will result in a
system that is not activated. If the system is not
activated the indicator lamp in the “SOS” button stays
on after turning electronic key in starter switch to
position 2 and the message “TELE AID – NOT
ACTIVATED” will be shown in the MCS display for
approx. 10 seconds.
If you have any questions regarding activation, please
call the Response Center at 1-800-756-9018 (in the USA)
or 1-888-923-8367 (in Canada).
( Tele matic Alarm Identification on Demand)
The Tele Aid system consists of three types of response;
automatic and manual emergency, roadside assistance
and information. The Tele Aid system is operational providing that the
vehicle’s battery is charged, properly connected, not
damaged and cellular and GPS coverage is available.
The speaker volume of a Tele Aid call can be adjusted
using the volume control on the MCS unit. To activate,
press the “SOS” button, the Roadside Assistance
button • or the Information button ¡, depending
on the type of response required.
Shortly after the completion of your Acquaintance Call,
you will receive a user ID and password via first call
mail. By visiting www.mbusa.com and selecting
“Tele Aid” (USA only), you will have access to account
information, remote door unlock, Info Services
* profile
and more.
* OptionalSystem self-check
Initially, after turning the key in steering lock to
position 2, malfunctions are detected and indicated (the
indicator lamps in the “SOS” button, the Roadside
Assistance button • and Information button ¡
stay on longer than 10 seconds or do not come on). The
message “TELE AID – PLEASE VISIT WORKSHOP”
appears in the MCS display.

Always make sure that the indicator lamps in the
“SOS” button, the Roadside Assistance button • and
the Information button ¡do not remain illuminated
constantly in red and the message “TELE AID – VISIT
WORKSHOP” is not displayed in the MCS display after
the system self check.
If a malfunction is indicated as outlined above, have the
system checked at the nearest Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center as soon as possible.
Emergency calls
An emergency call is initiated automatically: • following an accident in which the Emergency
Tensioning Retractors (ETR’s) or airbags deploy,
• if the antitheft alarm or the tow away alarm stays on
for more than 20 seconds, see pages 35 and 36.
An emergency call can also be initiated manually by
opening the cover next to the inside rear view mirror
labeled “SOS”, then pressing the button (for longer than
2 seconds) located under the cover. See below for
instructions on initiating an emergency call manually. Once the emergency call is in progress, the indicator
lamp in the “SOS” button will begin to f lash. The
message “EMERGENCY CALL – CONNECTING CALL”
appears in the MCS display. When the connection is
established, the message “EMERGENCY CALL – CALL
CONNECTED” appears in the MCS display. All
information relevant to the emergency, such as the
location of the vehicle (determined by the GPS satellite
location system), vehicle model, identification number
and color are generated.
A voice connection between the Response Center and
the occupants of the vehicle will be established
automatically soon after the emergency call has been
initiated. When a voice connection is established the
audio system mutes and the message “TELE AID – EMERGENCY CALL ACTIVE” appears in the MCS
display. The Response Center will attempt to determine
more precisely the nature of the accident provided they
can speak to an occupant of the vehicle.
