Overview of transferred vehicle data
When using Smartphone Integration, certain vehi-
cle data is transferred to the mobile phone. This
enables you to get the best out of selected mobile
phone services. Vehicle data is not directly acces-
sible.
The following system information is transmitted:
R
Software release of the multimedia system
R

The transfer of this data is used to optimize com-
munication between the vehicle and the mobile
phone.
To do this, and to assign several vehicles to the
mobile phone, a vehicle identifier is randomly gen-
erated.
This has no connection to the vehicle identifica-
tion number (VIN) and is deleted when the multi-
media system is reset (

Information on the Mercedes-Benz emergency
call system

Mercedes-Benz eCall only functions in areas
where mobile phone coverage is available from
the wireless service providers. Insufficient net-
work coverage from the wireless service providers
may result in an emergency call not being trans-
mitted.
eCall is a standard feature in your Mercedes-Benz
vehicle. In order to function as intended, the sys-
tem relies on the transmission of data detailed in
