Before using your mobile phone with the multi-
media system for the first time, you will need to
search for the phone and then authorize (con-
nect) it. Depending on the mobile phone, author- ization either takes place by means of Secure
Simple Pairing or by entering a passkey. The
multimedia system automatically makes the
procedure that is relevant for your mobile phone
available. The mobile phone is always connec-
ted automatically after authorization. Further
information on using a mobile phone with the
multimedia system (see the Digital Operator's
Manual).
If the multimedia system does not detect your
mobile phone, this may be due to particular
security settings on your mobile phone (see the
manufacturer's operating instructions). Only one mobile phone can be connected to the
multimedia system at any one time.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
If the rear bench seat/rear seat and seat
backrest are not engaged they could fold for-
wards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the
event of an accident.
RThe vehicle occupant would thereby be
pushed into the seat belt by the rear bench
seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The
seat belt can no longer offer the intended
level of protection and could even cause
injuries.
RObjects or loads in the trunk cannot be
restrained by the seat backrest.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Before every trip, make sure that the seat
backrests and the rear bench seat/rear seat
are engaged.
Observe the loading guidelines (
Ypage 242). The left-hand and right-hand rear seat backrests
can be folded down separately to increase the
trunk capacity.
Folding the seat backrest forward
XVehicles without memory function: if neces-
sary, move the driver's or front-passenger
seat forwards.
XVehicles with memory function: when one or
both parts of the rear seat backrest are folded
forwards, the respective front seat moves for-
wards slightly, when necessary, in order to
avoid contact.

Roof carrier
Important safety notes
GWARNING
When you load the roof, the center of gravity
of the vehicle rises and the driving character-
istics change. If you exceed the maximum roof
load, the driving characteristics, as well as
steering and braking, will be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
Never exceed the maximum roof load and
adjust your driving style.
!Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use roof carriers that have been tested and
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This
helps to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof carrier in such a
way that the vehicle will not sustain damage
even when it is in motion.
Ensure that, depending on the vehicle's
equipment, you can raise the sliding sunroof fully and open the trunk lid fully when the roof
carrier is installed.
!To avoid damaging or scratching the covers,
do not use metallic or hard objects to open
them.
You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical data" section
(
Ypage 328).
An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof load
may become detached from the vehicle. You
must therefore ensure that you observe the roof
carrier manufacturer's installation instructions.
Attaching the roof carrier
XOpen covers :carefully in the direction of
the arrow.
XOnly secure the roof carrier to the anchorage
points under covers :.
XObserve the manufacturer's installation
instructions.

engine is switched off, the battery may dis-
charge.
An emergency cut-out ensures that the on-
board voltage does not drop too low. If the on-
board voltage is too low, the power to the sock-
ets is automatically cut. This ensures that there is sufficient power to start the engine.

It can be dangerous to remain in the vehicle,
even if you have pressed the SOS button in an emergency if:
Ryou see smoke inside or outside of the vehi-
cle, e.g. if there is a fire after an accident
Rthe vehicle is on a dangerous section of
road
Rthe vehicle is not visible or cannot easily beseen by other road users, particularly when
dark or in poor visibility conditions
There is a risk of an accident and injury.

cle occupants. In such situations, secure the
vehicle in accordance with national regula-
tions, e. g. with a warning triangle.
General notes
Observe the notes on system activation
(Ypage 254).
An emergency call is dialed automatically if an
air bag or Emergency Tensioning Device is trig- gered. You cannot end an automatically trig-
gered emergency call yourself.
An emergency call can also be initiated man-
ually.
As soon as the emergency call has been initi-
ated, the indicator lamp in the SOS button
flashes. The
Connecting…

ated, a voice connection is automatically estab-
lished between the Customer Assistance Center

RIf the vehicle occupants respond, the
Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance Center
attempts to get more information on the
emergency.
RIf there is no response from the vehicle occu-
pants, an ambulance is immediately sent to
the vehicle.
If no voice connection can be established to the
Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance Center,
