General notes
The satellite radio mode requires satellite
radio equipment and registration with a sat-
ellite radio provider.
Note that the categories and channels shown
in the illustrations depend on the program
content offered by the provider. The illustra-
tions and descriptions in these operating
instructions may therefore differ from the
channels and categories offered by the pro-
vider.
Satellite radio mode may be temporarily
unavailable or interrupted for a variety of rea-
sons. These include environmental or topo-
graphical conditions as well as other factors
beyond the control of Mercedes-Benz USA,
LLC. This means operation may not be possi-
ble in certain areas.
These include:
Rtunnels
Rparking garages
Rlocations inside or next to buildings
