Switching on and changing telephony operating modes

Overview

COMAND Online starts the telephony mode depending on whether:

a telephone module with Bluetooth® (SAP profile) is inserted into the fittings or not

a mobile phone bracket is inserted or not

Depending

on which mobile phone bracket inserted, COMAND Online starts telephony via the Bluetooth® interface.

If neither a telephone module with Bluetooth® (SAP profile) nor a mobile phone bracket is inserted, COMAND Online immediately starts the telephony over the Bluetooth® interface.

Activating with inserted telephone module with Bluetooth® (SAP profile)

If a telephone module with Bluetooth® (SAP profile) is inserted, COMAND Online starts the SAP telephony.

If no telephone module with Bluetooth

(SAP profile) is inserted, COMAND Online checks whether a mobile phone bracket is inserted and, if so, which type.

Before using your telephone module with Bluetooth® (SAP profile) for the first time, you need to set it up so that it will be recognised by COMAND Online; see the separate operating instructions of the dataenabled telephone module with Bluetooth® (SAP profile).

If no mobile phone is connected to the dataenabled telephone module with Bluetooth (SAP profile), the

Ready for Bluetooth

telephony... message appears. Approx-

imately two minutes after switching on COMAND Online, a prompt will appear asking

whether you wish to switch to Bluetooth® ephony.

If you confirm by selecting Yes, the Ready

for Bluetooth telephony... message

will appear. COMAND Online will search for the two mobile phones last connected via the Bluetooth® interface. If one of the two mobile phones is found, the telephone basic menu for Bluetooth® telephony appears (Y page 432). If neither of the mobile phones

is found, the Ready for Bluetooth tel‐

ephony... message remains in the display.

You can now connect your mobile phone (Y page 426).

If you choose No, the Ready for SAP tel‐

ephony... message reappears.

Activating without a telephone module with Bluetooth® (SAP profile)

Bluetooth® telephony is started

COMAND Online starts telephony via the Bluetooth®

interface

and

searches two mobile phones to have been connected via the Bluetooth® interface. If one of the two mobile phones is found, the telephone basic menu for Bluetooth® telephony appears (Y page 432). If neither of the mobile phones is found, the Ready for Bluetooth tel‐

ephony... message remains in the display.

You now have to connect your mobile phone (Y page 426).

If you do not connect another mobile phone via the phone list, the Bluetooth connection with the mobile phone remains active until the next time COMAND Online is switched off. While the Bluetooth® connection is active, only the Bluetooth® interface functions are available to you.

Using the phone book

Introduction

The phone book displays the names and phone numbers of all address book entries saved in the COMAND address book. If an address book entry does not have a telephone number, it does not appear in the phone book.

In addition, MB Contact is listed as the first entry. This allows you to place a call to the Mercedes-Benz Service hotline (Y page 459).

The phone book of the mobile

phone is automatically downloaded to COMAND Online after connection.

In the telephone book, you can:

save phone numbers (Y page 441)

search for entries (Y page 440)

delete entries (Y page 441)

import contacts (Y page 456)

delete contacts (Y page 458)

receive vCards (Y page 457)

The stored phone book and the vCards remain in COMAND Online even if you use COMAND Online with another mobile phone. The entries can be viewed without a mobile phone. For this reason, you should delete any phone book entries before handing over or selling the vehicle.

Using the address book

Introduction

The address book organises and stores entries that are entered from different sources (mobile phone, memory card, USB

COMAND Online

COMAND telephone book, navigation system).

You can use these entries to make telephone calls and to navigate.

Number of contacts in the address

book: the address book can store a total of

4,000 contacts.

1,500 entries each are reserved in the address book for:

contacts from the mobile phone

contacts that you create in COMAND Online or import from other sources

The remaining 1,000 entries are assigned by COMAND Online as necessary.

Display of mobile phone contacts: con-

tacts downloaded from the mobile phone remain in the address book even if you disconnect the mobile phone from COMAND Online. Contacts that have previously been available can be displayed as soon as the mobile phone is reconnected. COMAND Online downloads the contacts again so that any new contacts that

device,

have been added to the mobile phone can be displayed.

As soon as you connect a new mobile phone to COMAND Online all the contacts from the previous mobile phone are replaced by those from the new phone's address book.

Address book entries remain stored if the mobile phone is disconnected. For this reason, delete your personal data using the reset function before selling your vehicle, for example (Y page 380).

Mercedes-Benz emergency call system

Overview

The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system can help to decisively reduce the time between an accident and the arrival

of emer-

gency services at the site of the accident. It can also help locate an accident

site in places

that are difficult to see.

The emergency call can be made automatically or manually and is transmitted to the Europe-wide private Mercedes-Benz emergency call number. The vehicle position data is simultaneously transmitted by text message and DTMF to the Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre. The Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre transmits the vehicle position data to one of the Europe-wide public emergency call centres. In almost all countries, the voice connection can be made in the respective country's language. This allows measures for rescue, recovery or towing to a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre to be initiated quickly.

If the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system function is operational, you see the SOS

READY display message in the basic tele-

phone menu (Y page 463).

Information on service availability in Europe (Y page 460).

Note that manual emergency calls should only be used if you or others are in need of rescue, not e.g. in the event of a breakdown.

Service availability in Europe

The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system is available for your vehicle for 15 years after the initial date of production, if:

it is equipped with COMAND Online

it was originally produced for the market

Automatic emergency call

If an emergency call has been

made: provided the road and traffic conditions at the accident site allow it, remain in the vehicle until the voice connection with the operator at the emergency call centre has been established.

On the basis of the call, the operator can decide whether it is necessary to deploy rescue teams and/or the police to the accident site.

Depending on the severity of the accident, it can take between one and three minutes until the operator can speak with you.

REQUIREMENT: the ignition is switched on.

If restraint systems have been triggered during an accident, the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system can automatically dial the Europe-wide private Mercedes-Benz emergency call number. Restraint systems include, for example, airbags or belt tensioners. The emergency call system can establish a voice connection between the vehicle occupants and the Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre.

The accident data is sent to the MercedesBenz emergency call centre by SMS and DTMF while the voice connection is operating. The accident data contains metre-precise GPS positioning data for the moment it is sent, as well as the type of vehicle involved in the accident.

If your vehicle is equipped with an SOS button in the overhead control unit, it

traffic con-

You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating COMAND Online.

The COMAND Online Mercedes-Benz Apps and Internet access are available via the Bluetooth® interface or via the data-enabled MB SAP module.

In order to use the functions, the following conditions are necessary:

The mobile phone supports the DUN Bluetooth® profile (Dial-Up Networking) and is connected to COMAND Online via the Bluetooth® interface (Y page 426). The DUN Bluetooth® profile enables the mobile phone to establish a dial-up connection to the Internet.

You need a valid mobile service contract with a data option, which is used to calculate the associated connection costs.

The access data of the mobile phone network provider must be set on COMAND Online for the connected mobile phone (Y page 464).

If the connected mobile phone supports the PAN Bluetooth profile (Personal Area Network), you can use the automatic configuration function.

You can obtain more detailed information about suitable mobile phones on the Internet at http://www.mercedes- benz.com/connect or from your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

If you use incorrect access data, additional costs may be incurred. This can happen when you use details that are different from the contract or details from another contract/data package.

When you are driving your vehicle in a different country and using the COMAND Online Internet and online functions, you may incur additional costs (roaming fees). When you

are in a different country, your SIM card must be enabled for data roaming. If your mobile phone network provider does not have a data roaming agreement with the roaming partner, it may not be possible to establish an Internet connection. Deactivate this function on your mobile phone if you want to avoid data roaming when you are in a different country.

Setting access data

Introduction

To use online and Internet functions, you need Internet access data for the connected mobile phone. You can obtain this from your mobile phone network provider.

A selected/manually set mobile phone network provider is only valid for the mobile phone

the

selection/setting is made. The mobile phone network provider is set automatically upon reconnection.

When

you

are driving your vehicle in a different country and using the online and Internet functions on COMAND Online, you may incur additional costs (roaming fees).

While initialising the mobile phone for the Internet connection, access data which is already on the mobile phone may be overwritten. You should therefore check the settings on the mobile phone (see the mobile phone operating instructions).

Notes on copyright

Audio/video files that you create or repro-

yourself for playback are generally

duce

sub-

ject to copyright protection.

In many countries, reproductions, even for private use, are not permitted without the prior consent of the copyright holder.

Make sure that you know about the applicable copyright regulations and that you comply with these.

Notes on CDs/DVDs

COMAND Online is designed to play discs which comply with the EN 60908 standard. Therefore, you can only use discs with a maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.

If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that contain data on both sides (DVD on one side and audio data on the other), they cannot be ejected and can damage the device.

Only use round discs with a diameter of 12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm, even with an adapter.

Discs with copy protection are not compatible with the CD standard and therefore may not be able to be played by COMAND Online.

You may encounter playback problems when playing copied discs.

There may be playback problems if you play CDs that you have copied yourself with a storage capacity of more than 700 MB.

COMAND Online is able to play back audio CDs in multichannel audio format.

Bear in mind that, at a speed of only 50 km/h, your vehicle is already covering a distance of 14 m per second.

Notes on discs

Do not affix stickers or labels

to the discs. They could peel off and damage COMAND Online. Stickers can cause the disc to bend, which can result in read errors and disc recognition problems.

COMAND Online is designed to play discs which comply with the EN 60908 standard. Therefore, you can only use discs with a maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.

If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that contain data on both sides (DVD on one side and audio data on the other), they cannot be ejected and can damage the device.

Only use round discs with a diameter of 12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm, even with an adapter.

The variety of data media, burners and burn software means there is no guarantee that the system will be able to play discs that you have copied yourself.

DVD playback requirements

With DVDs that do not meet the standard requirements, you may encounter playback problems.

COMAND Online is capable of playing back video DVDs produced according to the following standards:

Region code 2 (for Europe) or region code 0 (no region code)

PAL or NTSC standard

You will generally find the relevant details either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.

If you insert a video DVD with a different

code, you will see a

region

message to this

effect.

COMAND Online is set to region code 2 at the factory. This setting can be changed at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. This will allow you to play video DVDs with a different region code, provided that they are produced in accordance with the PAL or NTSC standard. The region code can be changed a maximum of five times.
