situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.

Priority of connections: an emergency call
has the highest priority. When a service call,
e.g. a breakdown service call or the MB Info
Call, is active, an emergency call can still be
initiated.
A service call, on the other hand, has priority over a current Internet connection. Therefore,you cannot establish an Internet connection
during a service call. i
The availability of individual COMAND

In order to use the functions, the following
conditions are necessary:
R The mobile phone supports the DUN Blue-
tooth ®
profile ( Dial-Up Networking) and is
connected to COMAND via the Bluetooth ®
interface (Y page 126). The DUN Blue-
tooth ®
profile enables the mobile phone to
establish a dial-up connection to the Inter-
net.
R You need a valid mobile service contract
with a data option, which is used to calcu-
late the associated connection costs.
R The access data of the mobile phone net-

When you are driving your vehicle in a differ-
ent country and using COMAND and Internet
functions, additional costs may be incurred
(roaming fees). When you are in a different
country, your SIM card must be enabled for

ment with the roaming partner, it may not be possible to establish an Internet connection.
Deactivate this function on your mobile

ferent country and using the online and
Internet functions on COMAND, you may
incur additional costs (roaming fees).
i While initializing the mobile phone for the
Internet connection, access data which is
already on the mobile phone may be over-
written. You should therefore check the
settings on the mobile phone (see the
mobile phone operating instructions).
