tions and illustrations in this section refer
to COMAND and the telephone keypad.
Operation using the mobile phone and
Bluetooth
® headset is described in the re-
spective separate Operating Instructions.
Caller ID
COMAND can display the telephone num-
ber and the name of the caller, e.g. for an
incoming call and also in other menus or
displays.
For the telephone number to be displayed,
the caller must transmit their telephone
number.
This is also the case for name displays. For
this, the telephone number and the name
of the caller must also be saved in the mo-
bile phone book.
i
The components and operating principles of
COMAND can be found on (
page 83) and
(
page 92).
i
Various mobile phone cradles can be in-
stalled in the front center armrest, see separate
installation instructions for the mobile phone
cradle. These mobile phone cradles can be ob-
tained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter. For more information about telephone
(
page 519).
i
In order for the functions described in this
section to work correctly, the Bluetooth
® head-
set must be linked to COMAND (
page 176).
Please make sure any Bluetooth
® headset linked
with the mobile phone is switched off or that the
headset is linked with COMAND before you in-
sert the mobile phone in the cradle (page 519)
and use the telephone functions with COMAND.

tures using a Bluetooth
® connection
Many of the Mercedes-Benz approved mo-
bile phones, cradles and adaptors avail-
able for use in your vehicle utilize
Bluetooth
® technology to communicate
with each other and the vehicle. Depend-
ing on your phone brand and model, the
number of in-vehicle or on-display
COMAND telephone features supported
via Bluetooth® communication, and thus
available for your use, may vary.
The descriptions and illustrations in this
section are based on the use of fully com-
patible Mercedes-Benz approved mobile
phones and cradles that do not utilize Blue-
tooth
® technology to communicate with
each other. If your vehicle is equipped with
integrated Bluetooth
® functionality than a
Bluetooth
® capable mobile phone, head-
set, Laptop, PDA, etc. is required to utilize
those features.For additional information about
Mercedes-Benz approved Bluetooth
® mo-
bile phones and related accessories please

sistance Center at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes
or your nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
