apply the parking brake too firmly. If the
wheels lock, release the parking brake until
the wheels begin turning again. G

cle, they may be able to set the vehicle in
motion if, for example, they:
R release the parking brake
R shift the automatic transmission out of park
position Por shift manual transmission into
neutral
R start the engine
In addition, they may operate vehicle equip-
ment and become trapped. There is a risk of
an accident and injury.

Operating systemMultimedia system

An exterior aerial has the following advantages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gener-
ated by a wireless device to the exterior
R the field strength in the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have an exterior aerial
Information on retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters) (Y page 335).
General notes There are various mobile phone brackets that
may be fitted in your vehicle; in some cases,
these are country-specific.
More information on suitable mobile phones,
mobile phone brackets and on connecting Blue-
tooth ®
-capable mobile phones with the multi-
media system can be obtained:
R at your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre
R on the Internet at http://www.mercedes-
benz.com/connect
The functions and services available when you
use the phone depend on your mobile phone
model and service provider.
Using a mobile phone To connect a mobile phone to the exterior aerial
and charge it, insert it into the mobile phone
bracket.
X Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 274).
X Place the mobile phone bracket into the pre-
installed fitting; see the separate installation
instructions for the mobile phone fitting.
X Insert the mobile phone into the mobile phone
bracket; see the separate installation instruc-
tions for the mobile phone fitting.
i The mobile phone can also be operated
without being in the bracket. However, the
charging function and aerial function are not
available.
In order to use Bluetooth ®
(SAP profile) on your
telephone module, you must first insert the tele-
phone module into the pre-installed fitting. This connects it to the exterior aerial. If you wish to
charge the mobile phone, then you must con-
nect it to a USB port.
Further information on the telephone module
with Bluetooth ®
(SAP profile) can be found in the
Digital Owner's Manual. 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 219).
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.
Mobile phone bracket in the stowage
compartment You can fold the pre-installed bracket up to
improve access to the stowage space beneath
it. Depending on the vehicle equipment, a USB
port or a Media Interface is installed in the stow- age compartment.
X To fold the bracket up: press button:.
X To fold the bracket down: press the bracket

Important safety notes
Work on the battery, e.g. removing or fitting,
requires specialist knowledge and the use of
special tools. Therefore, always have work on
the battery carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. G
WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly on the battery
can lead, for example, to a short circuit and
thus damage the vehicle electronics. This can lead to function restrictions applying to
safety-relevant systems, e.g the lighting sys-
tem, the ABS (anti-lock braking system) or the
ESP ®
(Electronic Stability Program). The oper-
ating safety of your vehicle may be restricted. You could lose control of the vehicle, for
example:
R when braking
R in the event of abrupt steering manoeuvres
and/or when the vehicle's speed is not
adapted to the road conditions
There is a risk of an accident.
In the event of a short circuit or a similar inci-
dent, contact a qualified specialist workshop
immediately. Do not drive any further. Always have work on the battery carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Further information about ABS (Y page 62)and
ESP ®
(Y page 67). G
WARNING
Electrostatic build-up can lead to the creation of sparks, which could ignite the highly explo-
sive gases of a battery. There is a risk of an
explosion.
Before handling the battery, touch the vehicle body to remove any existing electrostatic
build-up.
The highly flammable gas mixture is created
while the battery is charging and when jump-
starting.
Always make sure that neither you nor the bat-
tery is electrostatically charged. Electrostatic
charge is created, for example:
R by wearing synthetic fibre clothing
R by friction between clothing and the seat
R when you pull or push the battery across car-
pet or other synthetic materials
R when you rub the battery with a cloth G
WARNING
During the charging process, a battery produ- ces hydrogen gas. If a short circuit occurs or
sparks are created, the hydrogen gas can
ignite. There is a risk of an explosion.
R Make sure that the positive terminal of a
connected battery does not come into con-
tact with vehicle parts.
R Never place metal objects or tools on a bat-
tery. 310
