tem
Overview The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system
can help to decisively reduce the time
between an accident and the arrival of emer-
gency services at the site of the accident. It
can also help locate an accident site in places
that are difficult to see.
The emergency call can be made automati-
cally or manually and is transmitted to the
Europe-wide private Mercedes-Benz emer-
gency call number. The vehicle position data
is simultaneously transmitted by text mes-
sage and DTMF to the Mercedes-Benz emer-
gency call centre. The Mercedes-Benz emer-
gency call centre transmits the vehicle posi-
tion data to one of the Europe-wide public
emergency call centres. In almost all coun-
tries, the voice connection can be made in the respective country's language. This allows
measures for rescue, recovery or towing to a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre to be initiated quickly.
If the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system function is operational, you see the SOS
SOS READY READY
display message in the basic tele-
phone menu (Y page 432).
Information on service availability in Europe
(Y page 429).
i Note that manual emergency calls should
only be used if you or others are in need of rescue, not e.g. in the event of a break-
down.
Operation costs (e.g. for rescue teams)
incurred by a falsely triggered manual
emergency call, must be paid for by the
vehicle owner.
Service availability in Europe The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system is
available for your vehicle for 15 years after
the initial date of production, if:
R it is equipped with COMAND Online
R it was originally produced for the European
market
You can find more information on the regional
availability of the Mercedes-Benz emergency
call system at http://www.mercedes-
