lock (Y page 153).
The sockets can be used for accessories with a maximum draw of 180 W (15 A). Accesso- ries include such items as lamps or chargers for mobile phones. If you use the sockets for long periods when the engine is switched off, the battery may discharge. i An emergency cut-off ensures that the on- board voltage does not drop too low. If the on-board voltage is too low, the power to the sockets is automatically cut. This ensures that there is sufficient power to start the engine.

Mobile phone Important safety notes G WARNING Operating mobile communications equip- ment while driving distracts you from paying attention to traffic conditions. This could also cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident. Use this device only when the vehicle is sta- tionary.
i You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently
driving when operating mobile communi- cations equipment in the vehicle. If it is permitted by law to operate commu- nications equipment while the vehicle is in motion, you may only do so if the traffic sit- uation permits. You may otherwise be dis- tracted from the traffic conditions, cause an accident and injure yourself and others. Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation may cause damage to your health and to the health of others. The use of an exterior aerial takes into consideration the scientific discus- sion surrounding the possible health risk posed by electromagnetic fields. Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an approved exterior aerial. This ensures: Roptimal mobile phone reception quality in
the vehicle
Rmutual influences between the vehicle electronics and mobile phones are mini- mised
An exterior aerial has the following advan- tages: Rit conducts the electromagnetic fields gen- erated by a wireless device to the exterior. Rthe field strength in the vehicle interior is lower than in a vehicle that does not have an exterior aerial.

General notes There are various mobile phone brackets that may be fitted in your vehicle; in some cases, these are country-specific. You can connect a Bluetooth®-capable mobile phone with COMAND Online through the Bluetooth® interface. This also applies if your vehicle is equipped with convenience telephony.

More information on suitable mobile phones, mobile phone brackets and on connecting Bluetooth®-capable mobile phones with COMAND Online can be obtained: Rat your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre Ron the Internet at http://www.mercedes-

i The functions and services available when you use the phone depend on your mobile phone model and service provider.
Using a mobile phone If the mobile phone is inserted in the mobile phone bracket, you can speak to the person you are calling using the hands-free system. X Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 513).
X Place the mobile phone bracket into the
pre-installed fitting (see the separate installation instructions for the mobile phone fitting).
X Insert the mobile phone into the mobile phone bracket (see the separate installa- tion instructions for the mobile phone fit- ting).
i On some mobile phone brackets, you first
have to connect the mobile phone to the mobile phone bracket via Bluetooth® (see the separate operating instructions for the mobile phone bracket). If this is the case, the mobile phone does not have to be inserted into the bracket for you to be able to use the telephone func- tions. However, the charging function and aerial function are not available.
Operating the mobile phone You can operate the telephone using the 6 and ~ buttons on the multifunction steering wheel. You can operate other mobile phone functions via the on-board computer (Y page 229). When you remove the key from the ignition lock, the mobile phone stays switched on.
However, you can no longer use the hands- free system. If you have an active call and would like to take the key out of the ignition lock, first remove the mobile phone from the bracket. i If you use a mobile phone bracket which
is connected to your mobile via Blue- tooth® and you wish to continue a call on your mobile phone: You should switch the call to "Private mode" before you remove the key from the ignition lock. Otherwise, it will take up to 20 seconds for the mobile phone to dis- connect from the system. Only then can you continue the call on your mobile phone. Notes on the necessary steps for setting "Private mode" can be found in the sepa- rate operating instructions of the mobile phone.
i Not all mobile phones support "Private
mode".
Charge maintenance socket
The battery may drain if the vehicle is left sta- tionary for long periods. In this case, Mercedes-Benz recommends attaching the trickle charger to charge maintenance socket :. Charge maintenance socket : is designed solely for connecting a trickle charger. A trickle charger can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, for example.
X Switch the ignition off. X Open the boot lid. X Open the stowage well under the boot floor
(Y page 516).
X Connect the trickle charger to charge main- tenance socket :. Consult the manufac- turer's operating instructions on how to do so.
The boot lid can be closed, even if a trickle charger is connected. Make sure that the connector for both the connector cables is outside of the vehicle. The connector can then separate if the vehi- cle is moved, even if you forget to disconnect the connector cables. This prevents damag- ing the cables and the trickle charger. i A trickle charger connected to charge maintenance socket only maintains the current charge level of the vehicle's elec- trical system battery. If the vehicle's elec- trical system battery is discharged, it needs to be charged with a battery charger. You will find further information on charging the battery on (Y page 550).
