General notes
Some systems carry out a self-diagnosis when the ignition is switched on. In the process, several
warning and indicator lamps may temporarily light up or flash. This is not an indication of any
problem. These warning and indicator lamps only indicate a malfunction if they light up or flash after
the engine is started or during a journey. Safety

WARNING
You can burn yourself if you touch the hot
heating element or the socket of the cigarette lighter.
In addition, flammable materials can ignite if:
R the hot cigarette lighter falls
R a child holds the hot cigarette lighter to
objects, for example
There is a risk of fire and injury.
Always hold the cigarette lighter by the knob.
Always make sure that the cigarette lighter is
out of reach of children. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions. Use the cigarette lighter only when road and traffic conditions permit. Cigarette lighter (example)
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 144).
X To open: open the stowage compartment

General notes X
Turn the key to position 1in the ignition lock
(Y page 144).
The sockets can be used for accessories with a
maximum draw of 180 W (15 A). Accessories
include such items as mobile phone chargers.
If you use the sockets for long periods when the engine is switched off, the battery may dis-
charge.
An emergency cut-off ensures that the on-board
voltage does not drop too low. If the on-board
voltage is too low, the power to the sockets is
automatically cut. This ensures that there is suf- ficient power to start the engine.
If you have connected a device to the 12 V
power socket, leave the cover of the stowage
compartment open. This prevents the cover
from being blocked. 318

Important safety notes G
DANGER
When a suitable device is connected, the
230 V power socket will be carrying a high
voltage. You could receive an electric shock if the connector cable or the 230 V power
socket is pulled out of the trim or is damaged
or wet. There is a risk of fatal injury.
R Use only connector cables that are dry and
free of damage.
R When the ignition is off, make sure that the
230 V power socket is dry.
R Immediately have the 230 V power socket
checked or replaced at a qualified special-
ised workshop if it is damaged or has been
pulled out of the trim.
R Never plug the connector cable into a 230 V
power socket that is damaged or has beenpulled out of the trim. G
DANGER
If you reach into the power socket or plug
inappropriate devices into the power socket,
you could receive an electric shock. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Only attach appropriate objects to the powersocket.
! Note that work and repairs on the 230 V
power socket should only be carried out by
qualified specialist personnel.
General notes The 230 V power socket provides an alternating
voltage of 230 Vso that small electronic devices
can be connected. These devices, such as
games consoles, chargers and laptops, must not
consume more than a maximum of 150 watts
altogether.
Do not connect any multiple-socket outlets to
the 230 V power socket. Features

Requirements for operating these devices:
R the electronic device that you connect has a
suitable connector and conforms to stand-
ards specific to the country you are in
R the electronic device connector is plugged
into the 230 V power socket
R the maximum wattage of the device to be
connected must not exceed 150 watts
R the on-board voltage is within a permissible
voltage range
R the 12 V socket in the front centre console is
working properly (Y page 319)

cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There
is a risk of an accident.
Use this device only when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving whenoperating mobile communications equipment in
the vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communica-
tions equipment while the vehicle is in motion,
you may do so only if the traffic situation per-
mits. You may otherwise be distracted from the traffic conditions, cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk posed
by electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R optimal mobile phone reception quality in the
vehicle
R that mutual interference between the vehicle
electronics and mobile phones is minimised
An exterior aerial has the following advantages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gener-
ated by a wireless device to the exterior
R the field strength in the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have an exterior aerial
Information on retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters) (Y page 371).
General notes Depending on the vehicle equipment, there are
various mobile phone brackets that may be fit-
ted in your vehicle; in some cases, these are
country-specific.
More information on suitable mobile phones,
mobile phone brackets and on connecting Blue-
tooth ®
-capable mobile phones with the multi-
media system can be obtained:
R at a qualified specialist workshop
R on the internet at http://www.mercedes-
benz.com/connect The functions and services available when you
use the phone depend on your mobile phone
model and service provider.
Using a mobile phone To connect a mobile phone to the exterior aerial
and charge it, insert it into the mobile phone
bracket.
X Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 307).
X Place the mobile phone bracket into the pre-
installed fitting; see the separate installation
instructions for the mobile phone fitting.
X Insert the mobile phone into the mobile phone
bracket; see the separate installation instruc-
tions for the mobile phone fitting.
i The mobile phone can also be operated
without being in the bracket. However, the
charging function and aerial function are not
available.
In order to use Bluetooth ®
(SAP profile) on your
telephone module, you must first insert the tele-
phone module into the pre-installed fitting. This connects it to the exterior aerial. If you wish to
charge the mobile phone, you must connect it to
a USB port.
Further information on the telephone module
with Bluetooth ®
(SAP profile) can be found in the
Digital Owner's Manual.
Operating the mobile phone You can operate the phone using the
6and
~ buttons on the multifunction steering
wheel. You can operate other mobile phone
functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 238).
When you remove the key from the ignition lock, the mobile phone is disconnected from the vehi-cle. You can then no longer make calls using the
hands-free system.
If a call is active and you remove the key from
the ignition lock, the conversation is transferred
over to the mobile phone. It is then possible to
continue the conversation on the mobile phone. Features
