124 Telephone*Emergency call
Emergency callYou can make an emergency call to an
emergency rescue station with a mobile
communication network.
The emergency call will be placed as long
as the corresponding mobile communicati-
on network is available. To do this, switch
the telephone on if you have not already
done so.
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 the local
9-1-1 provider. It does not initiate a Tele
Aid call.
Warning
G
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.
Take appropriate measures to alert an
emergency service as soon as possible.

132 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 available CDs.
Change the navigation CD
(page 137).
!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 198).
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.
