Warning!
G
A driver’s attention to the road must always
be his/her primary focus when driving.
For your safety and the safety of others, we
recommend that you pull over to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle before requesting
or receiving any info services.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of approximately
44 feet (approximately 13.5 m) every sec-
ond.
!The Tele Aid system utilizes the cellular
network for communication and the
GPS (Global Positioning System) satel-
lites for vehicle location. If either of
these signals are unavailable, the
Tele Aid system may not function and if
this occurs, assistance must be sum-
moned by other means.Warning!
G
If the indicator lamp in the SOS button does
not illuminate during the system self-check
or remains illuminated afterwards, or if the
message
TELE AID – VISIT WORKSHOP!
appears in the multifunction display, the
system may not operate properly. Have the
system checked at the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible.
