Tele Aid The Tele Aid system
(Telematic Alarm Identification on De-
mand)
The Tele Aid system consists of three
types of response:


automatic and manual emergency


roadside assistance and


information
The Tele Aid system is operational provid-
ing that the vehicle’s battery is charged,
properly connected, not damaged and cel-
lular and GPS coverage is available.
The speaker volume of a Tele Aid call can
be adjusted when using the volume control
on the multifunction steering wheel. To
raise, press button
æ
and to lower,
press button
ç
.

To activate, press the SOS button, the
Roadside Assistance button
•
or

¡
, depend-
ing on the type of response required.Shortly after the completion of your Ac-
quaintance 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 and
more.
!The initial activation of the Tele Aid sys-
tem may only be performed by com-
pleting 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 key
in starter switch to position2 or press-
ing KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button (if

tivation, please call the Response Cen-
ter at 1-800-756-9018 (in the USA) or

lites for vehicle location. If either of
these signals is unavailable, the
Tele Aid system may not function and if
this occurs, assistance must be sum-
moned by other means.

dicator lamp in view.

Using both hands, simultaneously push
the hand-held transmitter button and
the desired integrated remote control
button. Do not release the buttons until

318 Practical hintsReplacing bulbs

Only use 12 volt bulbs of the same type
and with the specified watt rating.


Switch lights off before changing a bulb

Always use a clean lint-free cloth when
handling bulbs.


Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.


If the newly installed bulb does not light
up, visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.


Have the LEDs and bulbs for the follow-
ing lamps replaced by an authorized
