Stolen Vehicle Recovery services
In the event your vehicle was stolen:
Report the incident to the police.
The police will issue a numbered 
incident report.
Pass this number on to the 
Mercedes-Benz Response Center along 
with your password issued to you when 
you subscribed to the service.
The Response Center will then attempt 
to covertly contact the vehicle’s 
Tele Aid system. Once the vehicle is 
located, the Response Center will 
contact the local law enforcement and 
you. The vehicle’s location will only be 
provided to law enforcement.
