The Tele Aid system
(Tele
matic Alarm Identification on
D
emand)
The Tele Aid system consists of three
types of response:
automatic and manual emergency
roadside assistance
information
The Tele Aid system is operational provid-
ing that the vehicle’s battery is charged,
properly connected, not damaged and cel-
lular and GPS coverage is available.The speaker volume of a Tele Aid call can
be adjusted when using the volume control
on the audio system or COMAND* System
or on the multifunction steering wheel. To
raise, turn the rotary volume control on au-
dio system or COMAND* System clock-
wise or press buttonæ on the
multifunction steering wheel. To lower,
turn the rotary volume control on audio
system or COMAND* System control
counterclockwise or press buttonç on
the multifunction steering wheel.
To activate, press the SOS button, the
Roadside Assistance button• or
the Information button¡, depend-
ing on the type of response required.
i
The SOS button is located in the over-
head control panel (
page 267).
The Roadside Assistance button•
and the Information button¡ are
located in the armrest storage com-
partment (
page 257).
!
The Tele Aid system utilizes the cellular
network for communication and the
GPS (G
lobal Positioning System) satel-
lites for vehicle location. If either of
these signals are unavailable, the
Tele Aid system may not function and if
this occurs, assistance must be sum-
moned by other means.

Useful features
System self-check
Initially, after switching on ignition, mal-
functions are detected and indicated (the
indicator lamps in the SOS button, the
Roadside Assistance button• and the
Information button¡ stay on longer
than 10 seconds or do not come on). The
message
Malfunction. Drive to work-
shop
appears in the multifunction display.Emergency calls
An emergency call is initiated automatical-
ly following an accident in which the emer-
gency tensioning devices (ETDs) or
air bags deploy.
An emergency call can also be initiated
manually by opening the cover next to the
interior rear view mirror labeled SOS, then
briefly pressing the button located under
the cover. See (
page 267) for
instructions on initiating an emergency call
manually.
Once the emergency call is in progress, the
indicator lamp on the SOS button will
begin to flash. The message
Connecting Call appears in the multifunc-
tion display. When the connection is estab-
lished, the message
Call connected
appears in the multifunction display. All in-
formation relevant to the emergency, such
as the location of the vehicle (determined
by the GPS satellite location system), vehi-
cle model, identification number and color
are generated.
i
When a Tele Aid call has been initiated,
the audio system or COMAND* System
unit is muted and the selected mode
(radio, tape or CD) pauses. The optional
cellular phone (if installed) and inserted
in cradle switches off. If you must use
this phone, we recommend that you
use it only with the vehicle at a stand-
still in a safe location. Remove the
phone from the cradle and place the
call. The navigation* system (if en-
gaged) will continue to run. The multi-
function display in the instrument
cluster is available for use, and spoken
commands are only available by press-
ing the RPT button on audio system or
COMAND* System unit. A pop-up win-
dow will appear in the audio system or
COMAND* System unit display to indi-
cate that a Tele Aid call is in progress.
After the TeleAid call has ended, the
optional cellular phone switches on
again. A PIN entry might be necessary.
Warning!G
If the indicator lamps on the SOS button, on
the Roadside Assistance button, and/or on
the Information button remain illuminated
continuously in red and/or the message
Malfunction. Drive to workshop is
displayed in the multifunction display after
the system self-check, a malfunction in the
system has been detected.
If a malfunction is indicated as outlined
above, the system may not operate as
expected. Have the system checked at the
nearest Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as
possible.
