ment while driving, you will be distracted from traffic conditions. You could also lose controlof the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate this equipment when the vehicleis stationary.
If you make a call on your mobile phone while

Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the
health of others.
There is scientific discussion surrounding the possible health risks posed by electromag-
netic fields. You can reduce this risk by using
an exterior antenna. Therefore, connect your mobile communica-
tions equipment to the vehicle's exterior
antenna wherever possible. General notes

General notesOnline and Internet functions

i
It is possible that you may not be able to
receive calls when an Internet connection
is active. This depends on the mobile phone
and the mobile phone network used. Conditions for access
USA: to use Mercedes-Benz apps and Inter-
net access, mbrace must be activated and
operational. Furthermore, mbrace must be
activated for Mercedes-Benz apps and Inter-
net access. Take note of the connection pri-
orities. An emergency call has the highest pri-
ority. When a service call, e.g. a breakdown
service call or the MB Info Call, is active, an
emergency call can still be initiated. A service
call, on the other hand, has priority over a
current Internet connection. Therefore, you
cannot establish an Internet connection dur-
ing a service call.
Canada: a mobile phone must be connected
via Bluetooth ®
(Y page 138) or USB
(Y page 235) with COMAND. Furthermore,
you need a valid mobile service contract with
a data option, which is used to calculate the
associated connection costs.
Conditions for a Bluetooth ®
connection
R The mobile phone supports at least one of
the Bluetooth ®
profiles DUN (Dial-Up
Networking) or PAN (Personal Area
Network).
The Bluetooth ®
profiles DUN and PAN ena-
ble the Internet connection of the mobile
phone to be made available to the system.
Conditions for a USB connection
R The mobile phone supports at least one of
the USB classes:
- RNDIS (R emoteNetwork DriverInter-
face Specification)
- CDC/NCM (Network ControlModel)
- CDC/ECM (Ethernet ControlModel)
- CDC/ACM (Access ControlModel) The USB classes enable the mobile phone
Internet connection to be made available to
the system.
The terms of use are shown when the system is used for the first time and then once a year
thereafter. Only read and accept the terms of
use when the vehicle is stationary.
The driver is not permitted to call up websites while driving and use of the Mercedes-Benz
Apps is restricted.
i The availability of individual Mercedes-
Benz Apps may vary depending on the
country. Setting up an Internet connection
Procedure and general information
USA: to use Mercedes-Benz apps and Inter-
net access, mbrace must be activated and
operational. Furthermore, mbrace must be
activated for Mercedes-Benz apps and Inter-
net access. No further settings are required.
Canada: in order to set up a mobile phone for
Internet access, the mobile phone must be
connected via Bluetooth ®
(Y page 138) or
USB (Y page 215) with COMAND. If you are
using Internet access for the first time, you
must enable the connected mobile phone for
Internet access (Y page 174). If the con-
nected mobile phone supports the Blue-
tooth ®
PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,
CDC/NCM or CDC/ECM, you do not need to make additional settings. The Internet con-
nection is established. If the connected

predefined (Y page 174) or manual access
data (Y page 175) must be set. Setting up an Internet connection
