code (VVC) issued by the Mercedes-Benz
Center after purchase. With this new
code you can set up the access to your
vehicle. This is described in the "Setting
up a personal area" section on the "Vehi-
cle Homepage". There, you may also
deactivate the existing access of the pre- vious owner.
Calling up functions in the "My
Mercedes Electric - Vehicle Homepage" The "Vehicle Homepage" allows you access to
vehicle information and your vehicle's func-
tions using remote query and remote config-
uration.
The following functions can be accessed via
the "Vehicle Homepage":
R request the current condition of charge of
the high-voltage battery
R program the departure time (Y page 310)
R set/activate the "Pre-entry climate control
at departure time" function (REMOTE CLI-
MATE CONTROL), (see the separate
COMAND operating instructions)
Information on additional functions and oper- ating instructions can be found on the "Vehi-
cle Homepage".
Connecting the vehicle to the Internet i
This function is not available in all coun-
tries and requires activated access to the
mbrace emergency call system.
i This function is only available if the vehi-
cle is equipped with a telephone module.
You can use the "Vehicle Homepage" if the
vehicle has a connection to the Internet via
the telephone module. The telephone module uses CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)
and transmits the necessary data by radio.
The vehicle automatically recognizes whether a connection to the Internet via the telephone
module is possible or not. No presets are
necessary. i
Restrictions in reception are possible if
the vehicle is in an underground car park,
for example. Restrictions may also occur in areas with poor mobile network coverage.
To enable the transfer of data via the tele-
phone module, you do not need a SIM card. Parking
Important safety notes

WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system or exhaust
gas flow. There is a risk of fire.
Park the vehicle so that no flammable mate-
rials come into contact with parts of the vehi-cle which are hot. Take particular care not to
park on dry grassland or harvested grain
fields. G

Problems with PARKTRONIC
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
M
MSolutions Only the red segments
in the PARKTRONIC
warning displays are lit.
You also hear a warning
tone for approximately
two seconds.
PARKTRONIC is then
deactivated and the
indicator lamp on the
PARKTRONIC button
lights up. PARKTRONIC has malfunctioned and has switched off.
X If problems persist, have PARKTRONIC checked at a qualified
specialist workshop. Only the red segments
in the PARKTRONIC
warning displays are lit.
PARKTRONIC is then
deactivated. The PARKTRONIC sensors are dirty or there is interference.
X Clean the PARKTRONIC sensors (Y page 415).
X Switch the ignition back on. The problem may be caused by an external source of radio or
ultrasound waves.
X See if PARKTRONIC functions in a different location. Active Parking Assist
General notes Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking
aid with ultrasound. It measures the road on
both sides of the vehicle. A parking symbol
indicates a suitable parking space. Active
steering intervention and brake application
can assist you during parking and when exit-
ing a parking space. You may also use
PARKTRONIC (Y page 248).
Important safety notes Active Parking Assist is merely an aid. It is not
a replacement for your attention to your
immediate surroundings. You are always
responsible for safe maneuvering, parking
and exiting a parking space. Make sure that
no persons, animals or objects are in the
maneuvering range.
When PARKTRONIC is switched off, Active
Parking Assist is also unavailable. G
WARNING
While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can drive
onto areas of the oncoming lane. This could
result in a collision with another road user.
There is a risk of an accident.
Pay attention to other road users. Stop the
vehicle if necessary or cancel the Active Park- ing Assist parking procedure.
! If unavoidable, you should drive over
obstacles such as curbs slowly and not at a sharp angle. Otherwise, you may damage
the wheels or tires.
Active Parking Assist may possibly indicate
parking spaces which are not suitable for
parking, for example:
R where parking or stopping is prohibited
R in front of driveways or entrances and exits
R on unsuitable surfaces Driving systems
