Remote control
Your vehicle comes with one remote control.
You may use two additional remote controls
for your vehicle. For further information, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. The remote control has a maximum range of
approximately 300 metres. This range may be
reduced by:
R
sources of radio interference
R solid objects between the remote control
and the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavoura-
ble position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space
i The optimum range can be achieved if you
hold the remote control vertically, pointing
upwards when you press one of the but-
tons.
i A battery symbol appears in the display
when the batteries in the remote control
are low. Replace the remote control bat-
teries (Y page 270).
i More information about the auxiliary
heating can be found in the "Practical
advice" section ( Y page 264).1

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
