for approx. 10 seconds during the sys-
tem self-check after turning the
SmartKey in the starter switch to

ton and the Roadside Assistance
button
•
).
See System self-check (

when the indicator lamp does not light
up in red or stays on longer than ap-
proximately 10 seconds.
If the indicator lamp in the Information
button
¡
is continuously illuminat-
ed and no voice connection was estab-
lished to the Response Center, then the
Tele Aid system could not initiate an In-
formation call (e.g. the relevant cellular
phone network is not available). The
message
INFO – CALL FAILED
appears
in the multifunction display.
Information calls can be terminated us-
ing the
ì
button on the multifunc-
tion steering wheel.
!If the indicator lamps do not start flash-
ing 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 ac-
tive, and may not initiate a call. Visit
your Mercedes-Benz Center and have
the system checked or contact the Re-
sponse Center at 1-800-756-9018 (in
the USA) or 1-888-923-8367 (in Cana-
da) as soon as possible.

Should a higher priority call be initiated
while you are connected, an upgrade (al-
ternating) tone will be heard, and the ap-
propriate indicator lamp will flash. If
certain information such as vehicle identi-
fication number or customer information is
not available, the operator may need to re-
transmit.
During this time you will hear a beep and
voice contact will be interrupted. Voice
contact will resume once the retransmis-
sion is completed. Once a call is conclud-
ed, a beep will be heard and the
appropriate indicator lamp will stop flash-
ing. The COMAND system operation will
resume.
!If the indicator lamp continues to flash
or the system does not reset, contact

tion steering wheel.
iWhen a Tele Aid call has been initiated,

switches off. If you must use this
phone, the vehicle must be parked. Dis-
