word which you provided when you
completed the subscriber agreement.
or
̈ Contact the Tele Aid web page via In-
ternet using the ID and password sent

your acquaintance call.
̈ Then return to your vehicle and pull the
trunk lid handle for a minimum of
20 seconds until the SOS button be-
gins to flash.

pears in the multifunction display and

When a Tele Aid call has been initiated, the
audio system is muted. The optional mobile
phone (if installed) switches off. If you must use
this phone, the vehicle must be parked. Unplug
the telephone, switch it on and place the call.
The COMAND navigation system (if engaged) will
continue to run. The multifunction display in the
instrument cluster is available for use, but spo-
ken commands are not available.
i
You can exit Roadside Assistance and/ or
the information display during an active connec-
tion and call up the COMAND application last se-
lected. To do so, select “Back”. Meanwhile,
mute remains active (
୴ page 79).

The remote door unlock feature is available
if the relevant mobile phone network is available
and data connection is possible.
The SOS button will flash and the message: “Call
connecting” appears in the multifunction display
to indicate receipt of the door unlock command.
Once the vehicle is unlocked, a Response Center
specialist might attempt to establish voice con-
tact with the vehicle occupants.
If the trunk lid handle was pulled for more than
20 seconds before door unlock authorization
was received by the Response Center, you must
wait 15 minutes before pulling the trunk lid han-
dle again.
