Tele Aid utilizes the cellular network for 
communication and the GPS (Global Positioning 
System) satellites for vehicle location. If either of these 
signals are unavailable, the Tele Aid system may not 
function and if this occurs, assistance must be 
summoned by other means.
Wa r n i n g !
The Tele Aid control unit is located under the 
driver’s seat. If there is accumulation of water or 
other liquid in this area, the Tele Aid control unit 
could suffer an electrical short circuit making the 
system inoperative. In this case the indicator lamp 
in the “SOS” button does not illuminate during or 
remains illuminated after the system self-check. 
Have the system checked at the nearest 
Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible.
