Introduction
You can establish a Bluetooth ®
wireless
connection to the audio system or to
COMAND (see the separate operating
instructions).
GWarning
A driver's attention to the road must always
be his/her primary focus when driving. For
your safety and the safety of others, we
recommend that you pull over to a safe
location and stop before placing or taking a
telephone call. If you choose to use the
telephone while driving, please use the hands-
free device and only use the telephone when
weather, road and traffic conditions permit.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h ), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
XSwitch on the mobile phone and audio
system or COMAND (see the separate
operating instructions).XPress the = or ; button on the
steering wheel to select the Tel menu.
You will see one of the following display
messages in the multifunction display:
R Telephone Ready or the name of the
network provider: the mobile phone has
found a network and is ready to receive.
R No Service : No network is available.
Accepting a call
If someone calls you when you are in the
Tel menu, a display message appears in the
multifunction display, for example:

into contact with your skin. Before refueling,
extinguish all naked flames. Never allow
sparks or smoking materials near ethanol.
Changing the fuel type
For best performance and driveability, it is
recommended that you use either one or the
other fuel. Avoid alternating regularly
between the two different types of fuel.
When changing the fuel type, make sure:
R the fuel level is below half full.
R the fuel level is above the reserve level. This
is identifiable by the fuel tank reserve
warning lamp not being lit.
R you add more than 5 gallons (20 liters) of
fuel.
R before refueling, you switch off the engine.
R the engine is started and operated for at
least five minutes immediately after
refueling.
These precautions and recommendations
should prevent any difficulties when starting
and operating the engine which otherwise
may be experienced before the engine has
fully adapted to the different fuel.
If, in spite of these recommendations, the
engine does not perform properly, add at
least 3 gallons (12 liters) of gasoline. This may
improve the running of the engine.
Fuel consumption
Ethanol fuel (E85) contains less energy per
gallon than gasoline. To ensure that the
engine performance with ethanol fuel (E85) is
similar to that when using gasoline, the
engine must burn more ethanol fuel. As a
result, it is to be expected that the fuel
consumption will increase when using
ethanol fuel (E85), compared to gasoline.
Maintenance
When you bring your vehicle for maintenance
or repairs, please inform your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center if you use or have
used ethanol fuel (E85).Low outside temperatures
It is possible that the time required for the
starting procedure will significantly increase
at outside temperatures below 32 ‡ (0 †).
At low outside temperatures, Mercedes-Benz
recommends the use of an auxiliary heater.
For further information, contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Rough idling may also be experienced at low
outside temperatures until the engine is fully
warmed up.
Ethanol fuel (E85) is unsuitable for use when
outside temperatures fall below 14 ‡
(-10 †).
High outside temperatures
At outside temperatures above 95 ‡ (35 †),
the time required for the starting procedure
may increase and be accompanied by rough
idling following the start.
Fuel requirements
Use only premium-grade unleaded gasoline.
The octane number should be at least 91.
Details can be found on the gas pump. The
octane number is the average value of the
Research Octane Number (RON) and Motor
Octane Number (MON): (RON + MON) / 2,
also known as knock resistance.
Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) and/or
unleaded gasoline with additives can be used
if the concentration of the additives in the fuel
does not exceed 10%, e.g.:
R Ethanol
R TAME
R ETBE
R IPA
R TBA
For MTBE, the concentration should not
exceed 15%.
The concentration of methanol in gasoline
including other additives must not exceed 3%.
Using mixtures of methanol and ethanol is not
permitted. Gasohol, a mixture of 10% ethanol
and 90% unleaded gasoline can be used.
