Control systems
COMAND telephone*
Please note that these functions are only
available with Mercedes-Benz approved
mobile phones. Please contact an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center for informa-
tion on features available for your mobile
phone of choice.
You can control other functions of the mo-
bile phone via the COMAND, instrument
cluster control system (
page 276) or
Voice Control*.
The descriptions in this section assume
that the mobile phone is inserted in the
cradle. Exceptions to this are clearly stat-
ed.
Unless otherwise indicated, the descrip-
tions and illustrations in this section refer
to COMAND and the telephone keypad.
Operation using the mobile phone and
Bluetooth
®
headset is described in the re-
spective separate Operating Instructions.
Caller ID
COMAND can display the telephone num-
ber and the name of the caller, e.g. for an
incoming call and also in other menus or
displays.
For the telephone number to be displayed,
the caller must transmit their telephone
number.
This is also the case for name displays. For
this, the telephone number and the name
of the caller must also be saved in the mo-
bile phone book.
Functional restrictions
You will not be able to use the telephone,
or you may have to wait a while, in the fol-
lowing situations:
ț If the telephone has not yet logged into
the network.
The telephone automatically tries to
log into a network. If no network is
available, you will also not be able to
make a “911” emergency call.
If you attempt to make an outgoing call,
the “No Service” message will appear
for a short while.
ț If the mobile phone is not inserted in
the cradle.
ț SIM card is not inserted in GSM type
phone.

Please make sure any Bluetooth
®

with the mobile phone is switched off or that the
headset is linked with COMAND before you in-
sert the mobile phone in the cradle (
page 507)
and use the telephone functions with COMAND.
