Useful features
Automatic Maintenance Call
The 2007 S-Class is equipped with a fea-
ture which considerably enhances the care 
of your vehicle. Just prior to your vehicle 
reaching a maintenance milestone Tele Aid 
will initiate a message informing the ser-
vice center, important vehicle mainte-
nance information and the vehicle is due 
for a service appointment. The message is 
transmitted in the background with no 
driver interaction necessary. This feature 
allows your preferred Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter to significantly improve the process of 
arranging your service appointment and 
ensures that your vehicle receives the best 
possible care.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.

er devices compatible with HomeLink
