this occurs, assistance must be sum-
moned by other means.

ing the system self-check, or if any of these
indicators remain illuminated continuously
in red and/or the message TELE AID -
DRIVE TO WORKSHOP! is displayed in the
multifunction display after the system
self-check, a malfunction in the system has
been detected.

If a malfunction is indicated as outlined
above, the system may not operate as ex-
pected. Have the system checked at the
nearest Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as
possible.
