Located below the center armrest cover is the Roadside
Assistance button•. Pressing and holding the
button (for longer than 2 seconds), will initiate a call to
a Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance dispatcher. The
button will flash while the call is in progress. The
Tele Aid system will transmit data generating the
vehicle identification number, model, color and location
(subject to availability of cellular and GPS signals).
A voice connection between the Roadside Assistance
dispatcher and the occupants of the vehicle will be
established. The nature of the need for assistance can
then be described. The Mercedes-Benz Roadside assistance dispatcher will
either dispatch a qualified Mercedes-Benz technician or
arrange to tow your vehicle to the nearest
Mercedes-Benz Center. For services such as labor and/
or towing charges may apply. Refer to the Roadside
Assistance manual for more information.
These programs are only available in the USA:

with the vehicle spare tire are obtainable,

the Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance dispatcher
to download malfunction codes and actual vehicle
data.

approximately 10 seconds during the system self-check
