WARNING
Risk of becoming trapped during adjustment of the driver’s seat after calling up a driver profile
Selecting a user profile may trigger an adjustment of the driver’s seat to the posi‐tion saved under the user profile. You or other vehicle occupants could be injured in the process.

1. Make sure that when the position of driver’s seat is being adjusted using the multimedia system, no people or body parts are in the seat’s range of move‐ment.

If there is a risk of someone becoming trap‐ped, stop the adjustment process immedi‐ately:

1. Tap the warning message on the media display.
2. Press a memory position button or a seat adjustment switch on the driver’s door.
   The adjustment process will be stopped.

The driver’s seat is equipped with an access pre‐venter.
If the driver’s door is open, the driver’s seat will not be set after calling up the driver’s profile. Profiles store your vehicle settings and settings for the multimedia system. If the vehicle is used by several drivers, the driver can select their own profile without changing the stored profile settings of other drivers.

1. Information on profiles from Mercedes me connect can be found in the Digital Opera‐tor’s Manual.

Vehicle settings are, for example, driver’s seat, steering wheel and mirror settings, climate con‐trol and ambient lighting. For the settings of the multimedia system, you can select, for example, radio stations, previous destinations as well as themes, suggestions and favourites. For recurring driving situations, such as long drives on the freeway, you can save your prefer‐red settings in a theme in the vehicle. In a theme you can save the display of the digital map, your preferred radio station and preferred drive pro‐gram, for example.
The vehicle can learn the habits of the driver. It then offers suggestions for the most probable navigation destinations, media sources, radio stations or contacts. The pre-requirements for that are the selection of a profile, your consent to the recording of data and sufficient collected data. Favourites provide quick access to applications that are used often. You can select favourites from categories or add them directly to an appli‐cation.

Notes on telephony

WARNING
Risk of distraction from operating integrated communication equip‐ment while the vehicle is in motion
If you operate communication equipment integrated in the vehicle when driving, you could be distracted from the traffic situation. This could also cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

1. Only operate this equipment when the traffic situation permits.
2. If you cannot be sure of this, stop the vehicle whilst paying attention to road and traffic conditions and operate the equipment with the vehicle stationary.

WARNING
Risk of an accident from operating mobile communication equipment while the vehicle is in motion
Mobile communications devices distract the driver from the traffic situation. This could also cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

1. As the driver, only operate mobile communications devices when the vehicle is stationary.
2. As a vehicle occupant, only use mobile communications devices in the areas intended for this purpose, e.g. in the rear passenger compartment.

You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating mobile communication equipment in the vehicle.

WARNING
Risk of injury due to objects being stowed incorrectly
If objects in the vehicle interior are stowed incorrectly, they can slide or be thrown around and hit vehicle occupants. In addition, cup holders, open stowage spaces and mobile phone receptacles cannot always retain all objects within. There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of sudden braking or a sudden change in direction.

1. Always stow objects so that they cannot be thrown around in such situations.
2. Always make sure that objects do not protrude from stowage spaces, parcel nets or stowage nets.
3. Close the lockable stowage spaces before starting a journey.
4. Always stow and secure heavy, hard, pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky objects in the trunk/cargo compartment.

Observe the additional information on stowing mobile communications devices correctly:

1. Loading the vehicle
2. Stowing and securing the mobile phone

Mercedes-Benz emergency call system

Information on the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system
Your vehicle is equipped with the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system (“eCall”). This feature can help save lives in the event of an accident. eCall in no way replaces assistance provided from dialing 911. Mercedes-Benz eCall only functions in areas where mobile phone coverage is available from wireless service providers. Insufficient network coverage from the wireless service providers may result in an emergency call not being transmitted. eCall is a standard feature in your Mercedes-Benz vehicle. In order to function as intended, the system relies on the transmission of data detailed in the Transmitted Data section that follows. To disable eCall, a customer must visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz Service department to deactivate the vehicle’s communication module.

Deactivation of this module prevents the activation of any and all Mercedes me connect services. After the deactivation of eCall, automatic emergency call and manual emergency call will not be available.
The ignition must be switched on before an automatic emergency call can be made.

1. eCall is activated at the factory.
2. eCall can be deactivated by an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. Please note that in the event ownership of the vehicle is trans‐ferred to another owner in its deactivated state, eCall will remain deactivated unless the new owner visits an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership to reactivate the system.

Overview of the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system
eCall can help to reduce the time between an accident and the arrival of emergency services at the site of the accident. It helps locate an accident site in places that are difficult to access. However, even if a vehicle is equipped with eCall, this does not mean the system is ON. As such, eCall does not replace dialing 911 in the event of an accident. An emergency call can be made automatically or manually (/ page 240) Only make emergency calls if you or others are in need of rescue. Only make emergency calls if you or others are in need of rescue. Do not make an emergency call in the event of a breakdown or a similar sit‐uation.

Messages on the display
