System self-check
Initially, after switching on ignition, mal-
functions are detected and indicated (the
indicator lamps in the SOS button, the
Roadside Assistance button• and the
Information button¡ stay on longer
than 10 seconds or do not come on). The
message
Malfunction. Drive to work-
shop
appears in the multifunction display.
iThe SOS button is located in the over-
head control panel.
The Roadside Assistance button•
and the Information button¡ are
located below the center armrest
cover.!The Tele Aid system utilizes the cellular
network for communication and the
GPS (G
lobal P
ositioning S
ystem) 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.
iWhen a Tele Aid call has been initiated,
the audio system or COMAND* System
unit is muted and the selected mode
(radio, tape or CD) pauses. The optional
cellular phone (if installed) and inserted
in cradle switches off. If you must use
this phone, we recommend that you
use it only with the vehicle at a stand-
still in a safe location. Remove the
phone from the cradle and place the
call. The navigation* system (if en-
gaged) will continue to run. The multi-
function display in the instrument
cluster is available for use, and spoken
commands are only available by press-
ing the RPT button on audio system or
COMAND* System unit. A pop-up win-
dow will appear in the audio system or
COMAND* System unit display to indi-
cate that a Tele Aid call is in progress.
After the TeleAid call has ended, the
optional cellular phone switches on
again. A PIN entry might be necessary.
Warning!
G
If the indicator lamps on the SOS button, on
the Roadside Assistance button, and/or on
the Information button remain illuminated
continuously in red and/or the message Malfunction. Drive to workshop
is
displayed in the multifunction display after
the system self-check, a malfunction in the
system has been detected.
If a malfunction is indicated as outlined
above, the system may not operate as
expected. Have the system checked at the
nearest Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as
possible.
