106 TelephoneEmergency call

Emergency callYou can use a mobile communications net-
work to make an emergency call to an
emergency rescue station.
The emergency call will be placed as long
as the corresponding mobile communicati-
on network is available. To do this, switch
the telephone on.
Emergency calls may not be possible with
all mobile phone networks or if certain net-
work services and/or telephone functions
are active. Check with your local network
operating company.
iThe emergency call will also be placed if
the phone is locked.iThis function places a call to local 9-1-1
provider. It does not initiate a Tele Aid
call.
Warning

The 9-1-1 emergency call system is a public
service. Using it without due cause is a cri-
minal offense.!If you enter “1” and press the right-
hand rotary/push-button v, the num-
ber stored in memory location “1” (de-
fault is 9-1-1) will be dialed.
Pressing or holding “1” longer than 2
seconds will also initiate the call.
!It will not be possible to complete the
emergency call if the cellular system is
busy. The message “System busy,
redial?” appears.

emergency service as soon as possible.

114 NavigationImportant notes
Travelling abroad
If you intend to travel through different re-
gions or abroad, you will need the respec-
tive navigation CD.
Contact your Mercedes-Benz Center or
the Customer Assistance Center at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372)
for the available CDs.
Change the navigation CD
(page 119).
!GPS (G
lobal P
ositioning S
ystem) sig-
nals received make it possible to deter-
mine the current vehicle position.
Deviations from the actual position
may occur

if the reception of GPS signals is
disturbed e.g. in parking garages
and tunnels

if road conditions are bad

depending on the vehicle’s conditi-
on
If the reception of the GPS signal is un-
available, you will have to manually en-
ter the current vehicle position
(page 180).
If your vehicle has been transported by
a car, train or ferry, COMAND needs
some time to find its exact position.
Moving the vehicle a few yards is typi-
cally enough to remedy this situation.
