Please note that these functions are only
available with Mercedes-Benz approved
mobile phones. Please contact an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center for informa-
tion on features available for your mobile
phone of choice.
You can control other functions of the mo-

The descriptions in this section assume
that the mobile phone is inserted in the

ed.
Unless otherwise indicated, the descrip-
tions and illustrations in this section refer
to COMAND and the telephone keypad.Operation using the mobile phone and
Bluetooth
® headset is described in the re-
spective separate Operating Instructions.
Caller ID
COMAND can display the telephone num-
ber and the name of the caller, e.g. for an
incoming call and also in other menus or
displays.
For the telephone number to be displayed,
the caller must transmit their telephone
number.
This is also the case for name displays. For
this, the telephone number and the name
of the caller must also be saved in the mo-
bile phone book.Functional restrictions
You will not be able to use the telephone,
or you may have to wait a while, in the fol-
lowing situations:

If the telephone has not yet logged into
the network.
The telephone automatically tries to
log into a network. If no network is
available, you will also not be able to
make a “911” emergency call.
If you attempt to make an outgoing call,
the “No Service” message will appear
for a short while.

If the mobile phone is not inserted in
the cradle.

SIM card is not inserted in GSM type

iIn order for the functions described in this
section to work correctly, the Bluetooth® head-
set must be linked to COMAND (

Notes about COMAND telephone fea-
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 than a
Bluetooth® capable mobile phone, head-
set, Laptop, PDA, etc. is required to utilize
those features.
For additional information about
Mercedes-Benz approved Bluetooth
® mo-
bile 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.
