Your multimedia system equipment
These operating instructions describe all the
standard and optional equipment of your multi-
media system, as available at the time of going
to press. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not
feature all functions described here. This also
applies to safety-relevant systems and func-
tions.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual. Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
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.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are driving when operating
the system. General notes
Connection difficulties while the vehi-
cle is in motion
The connection may be lost if: R the mobile phone network coverage is insuf-
ficient
R the vehicle has moved into a mobile phone
cell with no free channels
R the SIM card used is not compatible with the
network available Function restrictions (Canada)
You will not be able to use the Mercedes-Benz
Apps and Internet connection, or will no longer
be able to use them, or may have to wait before
using them, in the following situations:
R if your mobile phone is switched off
R if your mobile phone has not been enabled for
Internet access
R if the Bluetooth ®
function is switched off on
the multimedia system and the desired phone
is to be connected via Bluetooth ®
R if the Bluetooth ®
function is switched off on
the mobile phone and the phone is to be con-
nected via Bluetooth ®
R if the mobile phone is not connected via USB
and the phone is to be connected via USB
R if neither the mobile phone network nor the
mobile phone allow simultaneous use of a
phone and an Internet connection
R if the mobile phone has not been enabled for
Internet access via Bluetooth ®
and/or USB
The driver is not permitted to call up websites
while driving and use of the Mercedes-Benz
Apps is restricted.
i It is possible that you may not be able to
receive calls when an Internet connection is
active. This depends on the mobile phone and
the mobile phone network used. Conditions for access
USA: to use Mercedes-Benz Apps and Internet
access, mbrace must be activated and opera-
tional. Furthermore, mbrace must be activated
for Mercedes-Benz Apps and Internet access.
Take note of the connection priorities. An emer- gency call has the highest priority. When a ser-
vice 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 con-nection during a service call.
Canada: a mobile phone must be connected via
Bluetooth ®
(Y page 92) or USB (Y page 157)
with the multimedia system. Furthermore, you
need a valid mobile service contract with a data option, which is used to calculate the associated
connection costs. 120

Conditions for a Bluetooth
®
connection
R The mobile phone supports at least one of the
Bluetooth ®
profiles DUN (Dial- UpNetwork-
ing) or PAN (Personal AreaNetwork).
The Bluetooth ®
profiles DUN and PAN enable
the Internet connection of the mobile phone
to be made available to the system.
Conditions for a USB connection
R The mobile phone supports at least one of the
USB classes:
- RNDIS (Remote NetworkDriverInterface

- CDC/NCM (Network ControlModel)
- CDC/ECM ( EthernetControlModel)
- CDC/ACM ( AccessControl Model)
The USB classes enable the mobile phone
Internet connection to be made available to
the system.
The terms of use are shown when the system is
used for the first time and then once a year
thereafter. Only read and accept the terms of
use when the vehicle is stationary.
The driver is not permitted to call up websites
while driving and use of the Mercedes-Benz
Apps is restricted.
i The availability of individual Mercedes-Benz
Apps may vary depending on the country. Setting up an Internet connection
(Canada) Procedure and general information
In order to set up a mobile phone for Internet
access, your mobile phone must be connected
to the multimedia system via Bluetooth ®
(Y page 92) or USB (Y page 145).
If you are using Internet access for the first time,
you must enable the connected mobile phone
for Internet access (Y page 121). If the con-
nected mobile phone supports the Bluetooth ®
PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,
CDC/NCM or CDC/ECM, you do not need to
make additional settings. The Internet connec-
tion is established. If the connected mobile
phone does not support the named Bluetooth ®
profile or the named USB classes, predefined

(Y page 122) must be set. While initializing the mobile phone for the Inter-
net connection, access data which is already on the mobile phone may be overwritten. You
should therefore check the settings on the
mobile phone (see the manufacturer's operatinginstructions). Enabling the mobile phone for Inter-
