Controls in detail Useful features The Tele Aid* system (Telematic Alarm Identification on Demand) The Tele Aid system consists of three types of response: Automatic and manual emergency Roadside Assistance Information The Tele Aid system is operational providing that the vehicle's battery is charged, properly connected, not damaged and cellular and GPS coverage is available. The speaker volume of a Tele Aid call can be adjusted when using the volume control on the multifunction steering wheel. To raise, press button æ and to lower, press button ç or use the volume knob on your audio system or COMAND* head unit. To activate, press the SOS button, the Roadside Assistance button • or the Information button ¡, depending on the type of response required. i The SOS button is located in the overhead control panel. The Roadside Assistance button • ( page 265) and the Information button ¡ ( page 267) are located below the center armrest cover. ! The Tele Aid system utilizes the cellular network for communication and the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites for vehicle location. If either of these signals are unavailable, the Tele Aid system may not function and if this occurs, assistance must be summoned by other means. i When a Tele Aid call has been initiated, the audio system or COMAND* system audio is muted and the selected mode (radio, tape or CD) pauses. The optional cellular phone* (if installed) and inserted in cradle switches off. If you must use this phone, we recommend that you use it only with the vehicle at a standstill in a safe location. Remove the phone from the cradle and place the call. The COMAND* navigation system (if engaged) will continue to run. The display in the instrument cluster is available for use, and spoken commands are only available by pressing the RPT button on the COMAND* unit. A pop-up window will appear in the COMAND* display to indicate that a Tele Aid call is in progress. After the Tele Aid call has ended, the optional cellular phone switches on again. A PIN entry might be necessary. 262
