Mobile phone

Important notes

When using mobile communication devices in the vehicle, observe the legal regulations in force in the country where you are.

If the law permits the use of mobile communication devices while driving, only use them when traffic conditions allow it. Otherwise, you could be distracted from the traffic, cause an accident, and be injured or injure others.

Radiotelephones and fax machines that are not connected to a low-reflection external antenna can interfere with the vehicle's electronics, thereby compromising the operational safety of the vehicle and, consequently, your own safety. Therefore, only use these devices if they are connected to a separate low-reflection external antenna, as required by regulations.

Excessive electromagnetic radiation can be harmful to your health and that of others. Using an external antenna protects against possible risks associated with electromagnetic fields, which are currently being debated in the scientific community.

Mercedes-Benz recommends connecting an approved external antenna. This helps

• to ensure optimum reception quality for mobile phones inside the passenger compartment
• to minimise interference between the vehicle's electronics and mobile phones

A connected antenna offers the following advantages:

• It directs the electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile radiotelephones outward.
• The field strength inside the vehicle is reduced compared with use without an external antenna.
