Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R
optimal mobile phone reception quality in

An exterior aerial has the following advan-

R it
conducts the electromagnetic fields gen-

R the field strength in the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have
an exterior aerial.
