2015 MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class pairing phone

Procedure and general information
Authorizing a mobile phone (connecting)
Before using your mobile phone with
COMAND for the first time, you will need to
search for the phone (Y page 139) and then
authorize it (Y page 140). Depending on the
mobile phone, authorization either takes
place by means of Secure Simple Pairing or by
entering a passkey. COMAND automatically
enables the procedure suited to your mobile
phone. You can recognize Secure Simple Pair- ing by a code which is displayed in COMAND
and on the mobile phone. You can recognize
the passkey system by the fact that you have to enter a code on the mobile phone and in
COMAND. The mobile phone is always con-
nected automatically after authorization.
If COMAND does not detect your mobile
phone, this may be due to particular securitysettings on your mobile phone. You can also
start the search procedure and authorization
on the mobile phone (Y page 141).
Device-specific information on authorizing
and connecting Bluetooth ®
-capable mobile
phones can be obtained from your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center or via the Internet at
http://www.mercedes-benz.com/
connect .
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones.
Only one mobile phone can be connected to
COMAND at any one time.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if you leave the receiver range of COMAND or
deactivate Bluetooth ®
on your mobile phone.
If you no longer want the Bluetooth ®
connec-
tion to be established automatically, the
mobile phone must be de-authorized (discon- nected) (Y page 142). Searching for a mobile phone
