mation on telephone functions, emergency
call, and service numbers.
1 Observe all legal requirements.

Please read the “Telephone” chapter
before attempting to operate your tele-
phone.

Always drive with extreme caution
when you operate the hands-free tele-
phone.

the mobile telephone handset to make
a call while driving the vehicle.

If the signal strength is very weak (dis-
play in the symbol field of all menus),
wait until reception improves before
making a call.
WarningG
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a cellular telephone while driving a ve-
hicle. Whether or not prohibited by law, for
safety reasons, the driver should not use the
cellular telephone while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. Stop the vehicle in a safe location be-
fore answering or placing a call.

phone while driving, please use the hands-
free device and be sure to pay attention to
the traffic situation at all times. Use the cel-
lular phone

traffic conditions permit.

with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. with-
out being connected to an external antenna)

of the vehicle’s electronic systems, possibly
resulting in an accident and/or personal in-
jury.

Radio transmitters, such as a portable
telephone or a citizens band unit,
should be used inside the vehicle only
if they are connected to a separate ex-
terior antenna that has been approved
by Mercedes-Benz.
