i The indicator lamp on the Information
button ¡ remains illuminated in red for ap-
proximately 10 seconds during the system
self-check after switching on the ignition (togeth-
er with the SOS button and the Roadside Assis-
tance button
•).
See System self-check ( ୴ page 295) when the
indicator lamp does not come on in red or stays
on longer than approximately 10 seconds.
If the indicator lamp on the Information
button
¡ is flashing continuously and there
was no voice connection to the Response Center
established, then the Tele Aid system could not
initiate an Information call (e.g. the relevant cel-
lular phone network is not available). The mes-
sage
Call Failed appears in the multifunction
display.
Information calls can be terminated using
the t button on the multifunction steering
wheel or the respective button for ending a
telephone call on the audio system or the
COMAND* head unit.
!
If the indicator lamps do not start flashing
after pressing one of the buttons or remain illu-
minated (in red) at any time, the Tele Aid system
has detected a malfunction or the service is not
currently active, and may not initiate a call. Visit
an Mercedes-Benz Center and have the system
checked or contact the Response Center at
1-800-756-9018 (in the USA) or
1-888-923-8367 (in Canada) as soon as
possible.
