tures using a Bluetooth® connection
Many of the Mercedes-Benz approved mo-
bile phones, cradles and adaptors avail-
able for use in your vehicle utilize
Bluetooth® technology to communicate
with each other and the vehicle. Depend-
ing on your phone brand and model, the
number of in-vehicle or on-display
COMAND telephone features supported
via Bluetooth® communication, and thus
available for your use, may vary.
The descriptions and illustrations in this
section are based on the use of fully com-
patible Mercedes-Benz approved mobile
phones and cradles that do not utilize Blue-
tooth® technology to communicate with
each other. If your vehicle is equipped with
integrated Bluetooth® functionality, a
Bluetooth® capable mobile phone, head-
set, Laptop, PDA, etc. is required to utilize
those features.For additional information about Mer-
cedes-Benz approved Bluetooth® mobile
phones and related accessories please
contact the Mercedes-Benz Customer As-
sistance Center at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes
or your nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
