Notes:
The indicator lamp in the Information button¡
remains illuminated in red for approx. 10 seconds
during the system self-check after turning electronic
key in starter switch to position 2 (together with the
“SOS” button and the Roadside Assistance button).
See system self-check on page 234 when the indicator

If the indicator lamp in the Information button¡ is
illuminated continuously and there was no voice
connection to the Response Center established, then the
Tele Aid system could not initiate an Information call
(e.g. the relevant cellular phone network is not

in the multifunction display.
Information calls can be terminated using the
ìbutton on the multifunction steering wheel.Important!
If the indicator lamps do not start flashing after
pressing one of the buttons or remain illuminated (in
red) at any time, the Tele Aid system has detected a fault
or the service is not currently active, and may not
initiate a call.
Visit your Mercedes-Benz Center and have the system
checked or contact the Response Center at 1-800-756-
9018 (in the USA) or 1-888-923-8367 (in Canada) as
soon as possible.
