Automatic Maintenance Call
The S-Class is equipped with a feature that
considerably enhances vehicle care. Just
prior to reaching a vehicle maintenance
milestone, Tele Aid transmits important
vehicle maintenance information that alerts
your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center of
required service. This is automatic and does
not require driver intervention. This feature
allows your preferred Mercedes-Benz Center
to significantly improve the process of
arranging your service appointment and
ensures that your vehicle receives the best
possible care.
i
The Automatic Maintenance Call feature
is available if the relevant telephone
network is available and data connection is
possible.
Stolen Vehicle Recovery services
In the event your vehicle was stolen:
X
Report the incident to the police.
The police will issue a numbered incident
report.
X
Pass this number on to the Response
Center along with your password.
The Response Center will then attempt to
covertly contact the vehicle’s Tele Aid
system. Once the vehicle is located, the
Response Center will contact the local law
enforcement and you. The vehicle’s
location will only be provided to law
enforcement.
i
If the anti-theft alarm stays on for more
than 30 seconds, a call to the Response
Center is initiated automatically by the Tele
Aid system provided Tele Aid service was
subscribed to and properly activated, and
that necessary cellular service and GPS
coverage are available. See “Anti-theft
alarm system” (Y page 79).
Garage door opener
The integrated remote control can operate up
to three separately controlled devices
compatible with HomeLink
®
or some other
systems.
G
Warning!
Before programming the integrated remote
control to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and objects are
out of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. When
programming a garage door opener, the
door moves up or down. When
programming a gate operator, the gate
opens or closes.
Do not use the integrated remote control
with any garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features as
required by U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door that cannot detect an object
- signaling the door to stop and reverse -
does not meet current U.S. federal safety
standards.
When programming a garage door opener,
park vehicle outside the garage.
Do not run the engine while programming
the integrated remote control. Inhalation of
exhaust gas is hazardous to your health. All
exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide
(CO), and inhaling it can cause
unconsciousness and possible death.
