i The functions and services available when
you use the phone depend on your mobile
phone model and service provider.
Using a mobile phone If the mobile phone is inserted in the mobile
phone bracket, the mobile phone will be
charged and connected with the exterior aer-
ial.
X Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 545).
X Place the mobile phone bracket into the
pre-installed fitting; see the separate instal-
lation instructions for the mobile phone fit-
ting.
X Insert the mobile phone into the mobile

tion instructions for the mobile phone fit-

Operating the mobile phone You can operate the telephone using the
6 and~ buttons on the multifunction
steering wheel. You can operate other mobile
phone functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 235).
When you remove the key from the ignition
lock, the mobile phone is disconnected from
the hands-free system. Active calls will first
be transferred to the mobile phone directly. Charge maintenance socket
The battery may drain if the vehicle is left sta-
tionary for long periods. In this case,
Mercedes-Benz recommends attaching the
trickle charger to charge maintenance
socket :.
Charge maintenance socket :is designed
solely for connecting a trickle charger. A
trickle charger can be obtained from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, for example.
X Switch the ignition off.
X Open the boot lid.
X Open the stowage well under the boot floor
(Y page 548).
X Remove the boot tub using the handle.
X Connect the trickle charger to charge main-
tenance socket :. Consult the manufac-
turer's operating instructions on how to do
so.
The boot lid can be closed, even if a trickle
charger is connected. Make sure that the
connector for both the connector cables is
outside of the vehicle.
The connector can then separate if the vehi-
cle is moved, even if you forget to disconnect
the connector cables. This prevents damag-
ing the cables and the trickle charger.
i A trickle charger connected to charge
maintenance socket only maintains the
current charge level of the vehicle's elec-
trical system battery. If the vehicle's elec-
trical system battery is discharged, it needs
to be charged with a battery charger. You 552
