to press. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not

workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual.
Important safety notes

WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle when driving, you may be distracted from
the traffic situation. You could also lose con-
trol of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci-

Only operate this equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are driving when operating
the system.

It is possible that you may not be able to

active. This depends on the mobile phone and
the mobile phone network used.
Conditions for access
USA: to use Mercedes-Benz Apps and Internet
access, mbrace must be activated and opera-
tional. Furthermore, mbrace must be activated
for Mercedes-Benz Apps and Internet access.
Take note of the connection priorities. An emer-
gency call has the highest priority. When a ser-
vice call, e.g. a breakdown service call or the MB
Info Call, is active, an emergency call can still be
initiated. A service call, on the other hand, has
priority over a current Internet connection.
Therefore, you cannot establish an Internet con-
nection during a service call.
Canada: a mobile phone must be connected via
Bluetooth ® ( page 90) with the multimedia sys-
Y
tem. Furthermore, you need a valid mobile ser-
vice contract with a data option, which is used to
calculate the associated connection costs.
