SIRIUS satellite radio provides 100 chan-
nels of digital-quality radio, among others
music, sports, news, and entertainment,
free of commercials. SIRIUS satellite radio
uses a fleet of high-power satellites to
broadcast 24 hours per day, coast to
coast, in the contiguous U.S.
This diverse, satellite-delivered program-
ming is available for a monthly subscrip-
tion fee.
For more information and service
availability, call the SIRIUS Service Center
(page 218), or contact
www.siriusradio.comProgram categories
The channels are categorized. Categories
allow you to tune to stations broadcasting
a certain type of program (category mode)
(
page 216).
iAdditional satellite radio equipment
and a subscription to a satellite radio
service provider are required for the
satellite radio operation described
here.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center for details and availability for
your vehicle.
Note that categories and channels
shown in illustrations are dependent on
programming content delivered by the
service provider. Programming content
is subject to change. Therefore,
channels and categories shown in
illustrations and descriptions
contained in this manual may differ
from the channels and categories
delivered by the service provider.
iSatellite radio service may be unavail-
able or interrupted from time to time
for a variety of reasons, such as envi-
ronmental or topographic conditions
and other things beyond the service
provider’s or our control. Service might
also not be available in certain places
(e.g., in tunnels, parking garages, or
within or next to buildings) or near
other technologies.

this occurs, assistance must be sum-
moned by other means.

standstill in a safe location. Remove
the phone from the cradle and place

tem (if engaged) will continue to run.

available for use, and spoken com-
mands are only available by pressing
the RPT button on the COMAND* unit.

COMAND* display to indicate that a
Tele Aid call is in progress. After the
Tele Aid call has ended, the optional
cellular phone switches on again. A PIN
entry might be necessary.
