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

Notes on discs !
Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908 standard discs. Therefore, you can
only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con- tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
The variety of data media, burners and burn
software means there is no guarantee that the
system will be able to play discs that you have
copied yourself. Video DVD mode
