Information
The Tele Aid system is operational provid-
ing that the vehicle’s battery is charged,
properly connected, not damaged and
cellular and GPS coverage is available.
The Tele Aid system utilizes the cellular
network for communication and the GPS
(Global P
ositioning S
ystem) satellites for
vehicle location. If either of these signals
are unavailable, the Tele Aid system may
not function and if this occurs, assistance
must be summoned by other means.
!
In order to activate the Tele Aid system, a
subscriber agreement must be completed. To
ensure your system is activated and operational,
please press the ¡button to perform the ac-
quaintance call. Failure to complete either of
these steps may result in a system that is not ac-
tivated.
If you have any questions regarding activation,
please call the Response Center at
1-800-756-9018 (in the USA) or
1-888-923-8367 (in Canada).
i
Location of the vehicle on a map is only pos-
sible if the vehicle is able to receive signals from
the GPS satellite network and pass the informa-
tion on to the Response Center.

Possible cause/
consequence
Possible solution
#
The battery is no longer
charging. Possible causes:

alternator malfunctioning


broken poly-V-belt
Do not forget that the brake
system requires electrical
energy and may be operating
with restricted capability.
Considerably greater brake
pedal force is required and the
pedal travel is longer. The stop-
ping distance is increased. If
necessary, apply full pressure
to the brake pedal.

Stop the vehicle immediately in a safe location and
check the poly-V-belt.
If it is broken:
Do not continue to drive. Otherwise, the engine will
overheat due to an inoperative water pump which
may result in damage to the engine. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
If it is in order:

Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center imme-
diately. Adjust driving to be consistent with reduced
braking responsiveness.

Read and observe additional messages in the
multifunction display.
The starter battery has been
charged with a battery charger
or jump started.

Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
There is a malfunction in the
electronic system.

Have the system checked at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately.
