ces assis tance pr ovided from dialing 911.
eCall only functions in areas where mobile phone
co verage isavailable from the wireless service
pr ov iders. Insuf ficient network co verage from the
wireless service pr oviders may result in an emer‐
ge ncy call not being transmitted.
eCall is a standard feature in your Mercedes-Benz
ve hicle. In order tofunction as intended, the sys‐
te m relies on the transmission of data de tailed in
th e "Emer gency Call Sy stem data transfer" sec‐
tion that follo ws ( /page 217). Todisable eCall,
a cus tomer must visit an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Service depa rtment todeactivate theve hi‐
cle's communication module.
Deactivation of this module pr events the acti‐
va tion of any and all Mercedes PRO connect
se rvices. Af ter the deacti vation of eCall, auto‐
matic eme rgency call and manual emer gency
call will not be available.
The ignition must be switched on before an auto‐
matic emer gency call can be made.

Ho wever,eve n if a vehicle is equipped with eCall,
th is does not mean the sy stem is ON. As such,
eCall does not replace dialing 911 in theeve nt of
an accident.
The emergency call can be made au tomatical ly
