The Tele Aid system
(Tele
matic Alarm Identification on
Demand)
The Tele Aid system consists of three
types of response:
ț automatic and manual emergency
ț roadside assistance and
ț information.
The Tele Aid system is operational provid-
ing that the vehicle’s battery is charged,
properly connected, not damaged and cel-
lular and GPS coverage is available.
̈ To activate, press the SOS button, the
Roadside Assistance button
• or
the Information button
¡, depend-
ing on the type of response required.
Shortly after the completion of your Tele
Aid acquaintance call, you will receive a
user ID and password via first call mail. By
visiting www.mbusa.com and selecting
“Tele Aid” (USA only), you will have access
to account information, remote door un-
lock and more.
System self-check
Initially, after turning the key in the steer-
ing lock to position 2, malfunctions are de-
tected and indicated (the indicator lamps
in the SOS button, the Roadside Assis-
tance button
• and the Information
button
¡ stay on longer than
10 seconds or do not come on).
i
The SOS button is located in the over-
head control panel. The Roadside
Assistance button
• and the Infor-
mation button
¡ are located below
the center armrest cover.
!
The Tele Aid system utilizes the cellular
network for communication and the
GPS (Global Positioning System) satel-
lites 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.
Warning! G
If the indicator lamps in the SOS button, in
the Roadside Assistance button, and/or in
the Information button do not come on dur-
ing the system self-check or if any of these
indicators remain illuminated constantly in
red after the system self-check, a malfunc-
tion in the system has been detected.
If a malfunction is indicated as outlined
above, the system may not operate as ex-
pected. Have the system checked at the
nearest Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as
possible.
