Occupant safety
52 inflated, the child could be seriously or even
fatally injured.
Proceed as follows:
R
Do not use a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger
seat.
R Fit a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem on a suitable rear seat.
or
R Only use a forward-facing child seat on
the front-passenger seat and move the
front-passenger seat to its rearmost
position.
R Have the automatic child seat recogni-
tion checked at a qualified specialist
workshop. To ensure that the automatic child seat rec-
ognition on the front-passenger seat func-
tions correctly, never place objects (such
as a cushion) under the child restraint sys-
tem. The entire base of the child restraint
system
must always be resting on the seat
cushion. An incorrectly fitted child restraint
system cannot perform its intended pro-
tective function in the event of an accident,
and could even lead to injuries.
i The windowbag, the sidebag and the belt
tensioner on the front-passenger side are
still active even if the front-passenger front
airbag is disabled. G
Risk of injury
Do not place items of electronic equipment
on the front-passenger seat, e.g.:
R laptops, if switched on
R mobile phones
R cards with transponders, e.g. ski passes
or access passes
Signals from electronic equipment can
cause interference in the automatic child
seat recognition sensor system. This can
lead to a system malfunction. This may
cause the 5 PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
warning lamp to light up without there
being

a child seat with automatic child seat
recognition fitted. This means the front-
passenger airbag is not deployed during an
accident. It is also possible that the
5 PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF warning
lamp will not light up if you turn the key in
the ignition lock to position 2.Safety

Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the
country in which you are currently driving
regarding the use of mobile telephones in
the vehicle.
If it is permitted to use mobile phones while
the vehicle is in motion, you should only use
them when the road and traffic conditions
permit. You may otherwise be distracted
from the traffic conditions, cause an acci-
dent and injure yourself and others.

Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the
country in which you are currently driving
regarding operating mobile communica-
tions equipment in a vehicle.
If
it is permitted by law to operate commu-
nications equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you must only do so when the traf-
fic situation allows. You could otherwise be
distracted from the traffic conditions,
cause an accident and injure yourself and
others.
Two-way radios and fax equipment used
without low-reflection exterior aerials can
interfere with the vehicle's electronics and
thereby jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle and your safety. You must there-
fore only use this equipment if it is correctly
connected to a separate reflection-free
exterior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
cause
damage to your health and the health
of others. Using an exterior aerial takes into
account current scientific discussions relating to the possible health risk posed by
electromagnetic fields.
i In

order to ensure optimum signal quality
for mobile phones and to minimise mutual
interference between the vehicle electron-
ics and mobile phones, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends the use of an approved exterior
aerial. An exterior aerial conducts the elec-
tromagnetic fields generated by a wireless
device to the exterior of the vehicle; the
field strength within the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have
an exterior aerial.
i There are various mobile phone brackets
that may be fitted to your vehicle; in some
cases these are country-specific. You can
obtain these mobile phone brackets from a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. The func-
tions and services available when you use
the phone depend on your mobile phone
model and service provider.
The mobile phone bracket is in the armrest.
X Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 178). Inserting the mobile phone into the
mobile phone bracket If the mobile phone is inserted into the mobile
phone

bracket, you can only speak to the per-
son you are calling using the hands-free sys-
tem.
! Do not attempt to remove the mobile
phone and the telephone bracket together.
You could otherwise damage the mobile
phone bracket.
X Remove the cover of the aerial plug from
the

back of the mobile phone and keep it in
a safe place. Controls

X Slide the lower end of the mobile phone
into connector contact 2 in mobile phone
bracket 3.
X Push the top part of the mobile phone in
the direction of arrow 1 until it engages in
mobile phone bracket 3.
The mobile phone is connected to the
hands-free system and to the multi-func-
tion steering wheel.
The battery is charged depending on the
charge status and the position of the key in
the ignition lock. The charging process is
shown in the mobile phone display. i
The system reads the phone book stored
on the SIM card and in the mobile phone
memory. If the same entry is stored in both
of the phone books, both of these entries
will be shown in the multi-function display.
You can make a call using the s and
t buttons on the multi-function steering
wheel. You can control other mobile phone
functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 130).
i When you remove the key from the igni-
tion lock, the mobile phone remains
switched on for approximately ten minutes
(run-on time). If you make a call during this
time, the mobile phone will be switched off
approximately ten minutes after you have
ended the call.
Run-on time:
You can change the run-on time by making
an additional phone book entry on the SIM
card. For the name, enter "Idletime" and for
the number, enter a figure between "1" and
"30" (minutes). If you have not entered a
number or have entered a different num-
ber, the run-on time of ten minutes will still
apply. For information on how to create a phone
book entry, refer to the mobile phone oper-
ating instructions.
Own number sending:
The hands-free system does not recognise
whether own number sending is enabled or
disabled in the mobile phone. The phone
number is therefore always sent by default.
By creating an additional phone book entry
on the SIM card, you can switch the own
number sending function on and off. For
the name, enter "CALLID" and for the num-
ber, enter a "0" or a "1". Entering "0" will
prevent the telephone number from being
sent; entering "1" will allow it to be sent.
For information on how to create a phone
book entry, refer to the mobile phone oper-
ating instructions.
