Your vehicle's operating permit may be in-
validated if you do not observe the
Mercedes-Benz installation conditions.
You will find information on retrofitting
electrical or electronic equipment in the
“Technical data” section (
e page 348).
Telephone
Telephones may only be used inside the
vehicle if they are connected to a separate
exterior aerial of a type tested and ap-
proved by Mercedes-Benz.
G
Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the coun-
try in which you are currently driving regard-
ing the use of mobile telephones in the ve-
hicle.
If it is permitted to use mobile phones while
the vehicle is in motion, you must only use
them when the road and traffic conditions
permit. You may otherwise be distracted
from the traffic conditions, cause an acci-
dent and injure yourself and others.
Mobile phones without exterior aerials may
interfere with the vehicle electronics and
thereby jeopardise the operational safety of
the vehicle. Only use devices if they are con-
nected to a separate exterior aerial.
The installation of the aerial must be ap-
proved by a qualified specialist workshop.
Always have maintenance work carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g.
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
G
Risk of accident
Only use the telephone when road and traf-
fic conditions permit. You will otherwise be
distracted. If you are not using the hands-
free system, pull over to make a phone call.
Telephones without an exterior aerial may
interfere with the vehicle’s electronics,
thereby jeopardising the vehicle’s operating
safety.
i In Germany, it is prohibited to use a mobile
telephone in vehicles without a hands-free sys-
tem either while you are driving or with the en-
gine running.
Observe the legal requirements for each indi-
vidual country.
You can choose between two systems that
support mobile phones supplied by differ-
ent manufacturers:
I
Mobile phone fitting (networked)
7
I
Mobile phone fitting (no networking)
Both systems have a hands-free system
permanently installed in the vehicle. The
microphone for the hands-free system is
installed in the overhead control panel or
on the front interior lighting panel.
In order to use the hands-free system, you
will need a special cradle. These cradles
are available for various models in the
Mercedes-Benz range of accessories.
i Mobile phone cradles which are available
from various manufacturers on the open mar-
ket are not compatible with the Mercedes-Benz
telephone system. You can recognise suitable
mobile phone cradles by the Mercedes Star
and by the B6 spare part number on the back.
Detailed instructions for use can be found
in the operating instructions for the mobile
phone cradle.
i The mobile phone battery will be charged
depending on the charge status and the posi-
tion of the key in the ignition lock. The mobile
phone display indicates the charging process.
