The initial activation of the Tele Aid system
may only be performed by completing the sub-

call using the
¡ button. Failure to complete
either of these steps will result in a system that
is not activated.
If you have any questions regarding activation,
please call the Response Center at

sitioning
S
ystem) 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.

When a Tele Aid call has been initiated, the
audio system is muted and the selected mode
(radio or CD) pauses. The mobile phone (if in-
stalled) switches off. If you must use this phone,
we recommend that you use it only with the ve-
hicle at a standstill in a safe location. Remove
the phone from the cradle and place the call. The
multifunction display in the instrument cluster is
available for use. After the Tele Aid call has end-
ed, the optional mobile phone switches on again.
A PIN entry might be necessary.
