Log in to Mercedes me and select the "Add vehicle" function, e.g. under the menu item "My vehicles" > "Add vehicle". Then enter the vehicle identification number (VIN). If your vehicle supports Mercedes me connect, you can then activate it.

If you have not yet defined your vehicle in Mercedes me, please do this first (by selecting the menu item "My vehicles" > "Add vehicle"). You will then be guided through all the necessary steps, such as entering the address data and accepting the Terms of Use. If your vehicle supports Mercedes me connect, you will then be taken directly to the "Activate vehicle" page.

If you have already defined your vehicle in Mercedes me, access the vehicle page and start the activation process there. You will be guided through all the necessary steps.

Note:
For your security, certain services such as Remote Door Locking & Unlocking or certain Tracking Services require an identity check by your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer. These services are not activated by means of online activation.

If you do not accept certain Terms of Use for Mercedes me connect, you will be unable to activate – and therefore use – those services to which the relevant Terms of Use apply.

The protection of your data is extremely important to Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Benz AG.

Proof of identity ensures that no unauthorised persons are able to view or use your vehicle data and functionalities online.

In order to authenticate your identity, please present a valid identity document and the registration documents of your vehicle to your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer. The dealer will then activate Mercedes me connect for your vehicle.

The verification code is sent to your vehicle during online activation and is shown on the vehicle display after the engine/motor is started.
Please make sure that the engine/motor is switched on and there is a data connection to the mobile phone network. In an underground garage, for example, there may be problems with mobile reception.

Note:
For your security, certain services such as Remote Door Locking & Unlocking or certain Tracking Services require an identity check by your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer. These services are not activated by means of online activation.

If the verification code is not displayed in the vehicle, you can request it to be sent again by clicking on "Request new verification code" in Mercedes me. Please make sure that the engine/motor is switched on and there is a data connection to the mobile phone network. In an underground car park, for example, there may be problems with mobile phone reception.
Please note: The code is valid for a maximum of 30 days. You can request it again a maximum of two times. This will render the previous code invalid.

Alternatively, you can request the verification code directly in the vehicle. To do this, contact the Customer Assistance Centre using the Info Call button in your overhead control panel, or via the "MB Contact" phone book entry in your multimedia system. Inform the staff member that you wish to enable your vehicle for Mercedes me connect. You can then enter the code in Mercedes me and complete the activation process.

Please use the SOS button for emergency calls only - not for activation purposes.

Please call the Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance Centre via the "MB Contact" phone book entry in your multimedia system. Inform the staff member that you wish to enable your vehicle for Mercedes me connect. If you cannot find an "MB Contact" phone book entry, please contact your Mercedes-Benz service partner.

Please use the SOS button for emergency calls only - not for activation purposes.

You have requested the verification code too often. Your vehicle has been removed from Mercedes me for security reasons.

To activate your vehicle for Mercedes me connect, please visit your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer in person. Please take an identity document, the vehicle registration certificate and the email address or mobile phone number (login details) for your Mercedes me user account along with you to this appointment.

After activating your vehicle, you have to drive your vehicle outside for a short while so as to establish a data connection to the mobile phone network. It may then take around 20 or 30 minutes for the services to be activated.
You can then use and manage the services online for yourself.

Please note:
In rare cases, activation may take 48 hours.
For your security, certain services such as Remote Door Locking & Unlocking or certain Tracking Services require an identity check.

You can see all the services activated in your vehicle on the vehicle page. You can alter the status of the services at any time under "Manage services".

Your Mercedes-Benz service partner is directly involved in particular in the Maintenance Management and Telediagnostics services. The vehicle reports the need for a service directly to the Mercedes-Benz service partner, who then sends you a personal quotation on that basis. This means that to activate the Maintenance Management and Telediagnostics services you must first select a Mercedes-Benz service partner for your vehicle.

With regard to the Mercedes me Adapter retrofit solution, it is also necessary to select a Mercedes-Benz service partner as the Maintenance Management service, for example, is integrated into the Mercedes me Adapter service.

To select or change your Mercedes-Benz service partner, click on "Service partner" on the vehicle page for the vehicle concerned. There you can manage your contact person for advice and sales as well as for servicing.

Only main users of a vehicle can change or choose the authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer.

You can only choose dealers in the country or region shown in your address for your vehicle.

First, define your vehicle in Mercedes me. You can find this function under "My vehicles" > "Add vehicle", for example. If your vehicle supports Mercedes me connect, you will be informed of this during the "Define vehicle" process and will be guided through the next steps.

Yes, you can also use the connect services with a leased vehicle. The only requirement is that the vehicle supports the Mercedes me connect services.

To check whether your vehicle supports Mercedes me connect, simply define the vehicle in Mercedes me. You can find this function under "My vehicles" > "Add vehicle", for example. If your vehicle supports Mercedes me connect, you will be informed of this during the "Define vehicle" process and will be guided through the next steps.

You can enter or change your vehicle's registration number under "Manage vehicle". To do this, select the relevant vehicle and click on "Manage vehicle" next to the vehicle on the vehicle page.

Please note:
Only the main user of the vehicle can enter or change the registration number.

If your vehicle is no longer shown in Mercedes me, this may be due to a number of reasons:

A. Have you purchased a new vehicle with Mercedes me connect functions, but it has not yet been delivered to you? Unfortunately you will need to wait for the vehicle handover in this case. During the vehicle handover, your new vehicle will usually be assigned to your user account in Mercedes me by your Mercedes-Benz dealer, and it appears in the vehicle overview. If you have already taken delivery of your new vehicle, you can define your vehicle in Mercedes me yourself (under the menu item "My vehicles" > "Add vehicle").

B. Were you a co-user of a vehicle with Mercedes me connect functions? The main user of your vehicle has possibly withdrawn your co-user status for the vehicle, or the vehicle has been deleted by the main user. Please contact the main user.

C. Was the vehicle assigned to you? Another user has also defined the vehicle in Mercedes me, and it is shown in that user's account. At present, each vehicle can only be defined once. We are working on an update which will be available shortly.

Do you want the vehicle to be shown again? For this purpose, select "Add vehicle" under the menu item "My vehicles".

Have you accidentally deleted the vehicle yourself? Simply add it again. For this purpose, select "Add vehicle" under the menu item "My vehicles". If the deleted vehicle is a vehicle with Mercedes me connect functions, you can activate it for Mercedes me connect afterwards.

You can delete your vehicle under "Manage vehicle". To do this, go to "My vehicles" and select the relevant vehicle, then click on "Manage vehicle" or the vehicle designation on the vehicle page. Click on "Remove vehicle" on this page. You must confirm removal of your vehicle on the page that then appears. After confirmation, the vehicle will be removed from Mercedes me, and all connect services will be deactivated.

- If you delete the vehicle as a main user, you and all co-users will receive a notification.

- If you delete the vehicle as a co-user, the vehicle will only be deleted from your user account, and you will receive a notification. The main user can continue to use the vehicle in Mercedes me as usual.

Please note: Deletion cannot be undone.

Only the main user of a vehicle with Mercedes me connect services can invite other people to use the same services in the vehicle. This works as follows:

Select the relevant vehicle under "My vehicles". On the vehicle page, click next to the vehicle on "Manage co-users" or on a smartphone click on the "+" under the vehicle and then on "Manage co-users".

From there you can send an invitation to someone ("Invite co-user"). Please note that the invited person must also have a Mercedes me user account.

The future co-users will receive an email with an invitation, which they can accept by clicking on the corresponding link in the email. Please note that when clicking on the link, the co-user must be logged in to Mercedes me. Having accepted the invitation, he/she can use the Mercedes me connect services in your vehicle.

A co-user of a vehicle with Mercedes me connect services can use the same services as the main user - except Maintenance Management and, if available for your vehicle, Telediagnostics. However, co-users are unable to activate or deactivate services.

Also, the main user is the only person who can invite other co-users or select an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer.

The invited co-user will not appear in the list until he/she has accepted the invitation - within the set time limit. Once this is done, the co-user will appear in the list of co-users with his/her full name and email address or mobile phone number.

The error page appears if you have exceeded the period allowed for confirmation of the authorisation (five days) or you are currently logged in to Mercedes me with the wrong user account.

- If the period allowed for confirmation has been exceeded, please contact the main user of the vehicle for a new authorisation.

- Please check whether you are logged in with your user account. If not, please log out and click on the link in the invitation email again.

As the main user of your vehicle, you can also withdraw a co-user's right to use the services. To do this, select the relevant vehicle under "My vehicles". Then click next to the vehicle on "Manage co-users" or on a smartphone click on "+" under the vehicle and then on "Manage co-users".

This displays a list of all co-users of the relevant vehicle. To remove a co-user, click on the "Remove" icon.

A confirmation email will be sent to you and the co-user.

Select the relevant vehicle under "My vehicles". Please click on " Digital Service Report" in the "Mercedes me assist" section on the vehicle page. Now you only need to activate the Digital Service Report by entering the six-character security code (SecCode).

You can find the code on the printed service report (maintenance sheet) which you received from your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer when you collected the vehicle.

Please note that the Digital Service Report is only available for vehicles produced from July 2008 onwards.

If you cannot access the Digital Service Report, there may be a number of reasons:

A. Your vehicle does not support the Digital Service Report. Unfortunately it is only available for vehicles produced from July 2008 onwards.

B. Your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer has not created a Digital Service Report. Please contact your workshop to have a report created. You can then view the Digital Service Report on the Mercedes me Portal.

C. The data from Mercedes me are not yet up-to-date. You can view the Digital Service Report online one day after the vehicle is serviced at the earliest.

D. The security code has expired, or you have entered it incorrectly too often. Please contact your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer and request a new security code.

If your security code is not accepted, there may be a number of reasons:

A. You have entered the wrong security code. Please note that only the security code for the last vehicle service is valid.

B. The security code has expired, or you have entered it incorrectly too often. Please contact your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer and request a new security code.

If you have not yet defined your vehicle in Mercedes me, please do this first (by selecting the menu item "My vehicles" > "Add vehicle"). You will then be guided through all the necessary steps, such as entering the address data and accepting the Terms of Use. After this, you will be taken straight to where you can activate your vehicle. This is a prerequisite for use of the Mercedes me connect services.

Once your vehicle has been defined and activated, you will find it under "My vehicles" and you will be able to use the Mercedes me connect services.

Note:

For your security, certain services such as Remote Door Locking & Unlocking or certain Tracking Services require an identity check by your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer. These services are not activated by means of online activation.

If you have paired your vehicle incorporating Mercedes me connect functions with your user account, you must unpair it before you sell the vehicle. You can do this either directly in Mercedes me or through your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer. The vehicle will then be removed automatically from your user account. If other vehicles with Mercedes me connect functions are paired with your user account, the services in those vehicles will continue to operate as before.

The Mercedes me connect services can only be used with a vehicle that is fitted with the Mercedes me connect Communication Module.

The "Mercedes me Adapter" telematics retrofit solution and the Mercedes me Adapter App allow as yet unconnected vehicles to use various functions.

You must also do the following in order to use the services:

You must accept the Terms of Use for the various services. You can do this by defining your vehicle in Mercedes me and activating it for Mercedes me connect. You will be guided through all the necessary steps to do this.

You will be sent a confirmation email after activation of the Mercedes me connect services. You will then be able to use and manage the services online on your own.

Which services are available for your vehicle depends, among other things, on your vehicle's equipment.

To activate or deactivate services, click on "Manage services" on the vehicle page.

A special arrangement applies to the Vehicle Tracker, Geofencing, Route Planning and Parked Vehicle Locator services (if available in your vehicle): You can also have these services deactivated by us at any time by calling from the vehicle. This option is available to any driver and is anonymous. It is not possible to activate the services using the same method.

Once you have activated or deactivated a service via Mercedes me, the new settings will be sent to your vehicle or, for vehicles with Mercedes me Adapter, to your smartphone. Please drive your vehicle in the open for a short while so as to establish a data connection to the mobile phone network. Afterwards it can take around 20 to 30 minutes for the services to be activated/deactivated.

You can then use and manage the services online for yourself.

The Mercedes me PIN has various functions in the multimedia system, depending on the vehicle's equipment. In the Mercedes me App, you need the PIN to use some Mercedes me connect services.

You can assign the Mercedes me PIN under "Manage driver profile" on the vehicle page, or in the Mercedes me App under "Profile > Settings". You can also reset it there.

With LINGUATRONIC online voice control, you can control many functions in your vehicle simply by giving voice commands. You do not need to remember any specific commands, but can speak quite normally.

This turns your Mercedes-Benz into a personal assistant to whom you can put any question and many requests, e.g.:

• Find restaurants and get recommendations: "Where can I eat a burger?" or "Show me the most popular Italian restaurants" (assisted by Yelp)

• Current weather and forecasts: "How hot will it be at the weekend?" or "Will I need an umbrella this evening?"

To use LINGUATRONIC online voice control, you need to define your vehicle in Mercedes me and activate it for the Mercedes me connect services. You will be guided through all the necessary steps. You will then find the service on your vehicle page under "Mercedes me connect services > LINGUATRONIC online voice control".

If you have already defined and activated your vehicle in Mercedes me, you will find the LINGUATRONIC online voice control service on your vehicle page in the section "Mercedes me connect services". You can activate it there under "Manage services".

Availability of the Mercedes me connect services:

Please see the overview of services for information about availability of services in different countries or regions and model series, and the necessary optional equipment. This can be found in the Terms of Use in the "Mercedes me connect - Overview of services" section.

You can use the service immediately in the vehicle: simply activate the voice control by saying the prompt "Hey Mercedes, ..." or using the controls on the steering wheel.

Suggestions and example applications are provided to support you. And if you find you need help, then simply say "Help".

Generally you won't need to remember any specific commands, just speak totally normally.

You can also find detailed information about possible voice commands and which functions can be controlled in the vehicle in the Owner's Manual

.

The LINGUATRONIC online voice control service is only available in vehicles with the MBUX multimedia system.

At present the LINGUATRONIC online voice control service is available in German, English, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Swedish, Spanish, Czech and Turkish.

You can set the desired language in the vehicle.

Check whether the service is activated:

- In Mercedes me: On your vehicle page: if the service is activated, it will appear on your vehicle page under "Mercedes me connect services".

- In the vehicle: In the multimedia system under "Settings > System > LINGUATRONIC > Online Voice Control Subscription" you will see the activation status in Mercedes me. It is also possible to switch the service on or off briefly under "Settings > System > LINGUATRONIC > Online Voice Control". The setting in Mercedes me remains unaffected by this.

If the service has not been activated, you can activate it simply in Mercedes me under "Manage services".

Have you activated the service, but it still doesn't work?

Please check whether there is a mobile phone connection in the vehicle. And make sure that you are in an area with adequate network availability.

Unable to solve the problem? Then please contact us directly – we will assist you as quickly as possible.

With the optional extra COMAND Online, Mercedes-Benz AG provides free use of Live Traffic Information for a period of three years. Please note that the service will only work in the vehicle if you have activated it in Mercedes me.

To do this, define your vehicle in Mercedes me (menu item "My vehicles > Add vehicle"). You will then be guided through all the necessary steps, including activation, agreement to the Terms of Use and service activation. Your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer will be happy to assist you with this, if you so wish.

You can activate or deactivate Live Traffic Information at any time on the vehicle page of Mercedes me under "Manage services".

The service will not be activated and you will not be able to use it in COMAND Online.

Have you already defined your vehicle?

Then you can reactivate the service on the "Manage services" page. You will be guided through all the necessary steps to do this, including acceptance of the Terms of Use.

Have you not defined your vehicle yet?

In this case, you need to define your vehicle (menu item "My vehicles > Add vehicle"). You will be guided through all the necessary steps to do this, including acceptance of the Terms of Use.

Once the service has been activated, you can use the Live Traffic Information service as often as you like for a period of three years after initial activation. After that, you can renew it in Mercedes me.

With Audio 20, you do not need to do anything in Mercedes me.

You can use the service in the vehicle as soon as you insert the SD card in the card slot.

With the Online Map Update service, Mercedes-Benz enables you to fully update the data for your navigation system. This can be done in various ways:

- Updating of all the maps by downloading from Mercedes me and installing in the vehicle using a USB stick or SD card

- Visiting your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer

 

Availability of the Mercedes me connect services:

Please see the overview of services for information about availability of services in different countries or regions and model series, and the necessary optional equipment. This can be found in the Terms of Use in the "Mercedes me connect - Overview of services" section.

Once the service has been activated, you can use the Online Map Update service as often as you like for a period of three years.

The data in your navigation system are no longer up-to-date. We offer you the option of downloading and installing new data. To do this, please click on "Manual update", select the required regions / countries and start the Download Manager. Please note that a very large volume of data may be involved (the size is indicated). Downloading all regions can take several hours, depending on the internet connection.

A Download Manager is software that allows convenient downloading and storage of navigation data. Without the Download Manager you cannot download navigation data. It is compatible with Windows and OS X.

Language recognition data are the data for the voice dialogue system in your COMAND Online.

No, selecting the region for automatic update and data download can only be carried out via Mercedes me.

Some updates require that confirm them in the system menu of your COMAND Online system. Most updates are automatic, however, and require no action on your part.

The data are protected against manipulation, and can only be installed if they are suitable for your COMAND Online.

Yes. There are no restrictions on using either the vehicle or COMAND Online while updates are being downloaded and installed.

This is due to the internet connection. The download time always depends on the size of the update and the speed of the internet connection.

You must format your USB stick so that larger files (larger than 4 GB) can be stored (e.g. in the NTFS or exFAT format).

The information about the update has not yet reached Mercedes me. This can take a few days, as several systems need to connect and exchange data with each other.

When the USB stick or SD card is connected, the navigation system automatically checks whether there are new data. To prevent this, simply remove the USB stick or SD card after the update.

With the Personalisation service, you can create and manage driver profiles for your vehicle in Mercedes me. Every driver profile can be configured, i.e. you can make individual settings for your vehicle. For example, you can choose a style for your vehicle display or the format in which the date is shown, or manage your favourites for quick access in the vehicle. The scope of individualisation options is being expanded continuously. You can configure your vehicle just as you wish. And as such always drive your very own personal Mercedes-Benz.

Is your vehicle used by several drivers?

Then simply invite these drivers to be co-users in Mercedes me, and assign a driver profile to them. Each co-user can configure his/her driver profile individually.

Driver profiles allow individual settings to be stored, e.g. radio stations, favourite lists, light settings and vehicle settings such as belt tensioners, automatic door locking, etc.

With the Personalisation service, you can conveniently configure driver profiles in Mercedes me - any time and anywhere.

Please note: The settings differ depending on the vehicle equipment.

As a co-user, you cannot create driver profiles yourself. The main user of the vehicle must invite you as a co-user and assign a driver profile to you. You can then set and configure your driver profile in the same manner as the main user.

The main user has no access to the driver profile of the co-user.

Simply import the driver profiles in the multimedia system when you get into your Mercedes-Benz. After selection of the desired profile, your vehicle will automatically apply the settings - and the vehicle settings will be just as you want them.

Further information about this can be found under "User profile" in your vehicle's Owner's Manual.

The Mercedes me PIN is an eight-digit code which protects your data and settings.

You need the Mercedes me PIN for example if you want to transfer your driver profile to another vehicle via a USB stick. Or to switch your vehicle to offline mode.

For more information, please see your vehicle's Owner's Manual.

Please note:

You can only reset the Mercedes me PIN in Mercedes me, a new PIN can only be generated in the vehicle.

In order to use the settings made in Mercedes me in the vehicle, you must first import them into your vehicle's multimedia system.

After the import, simply select your personal driver profile and your Mercedes-Benz will adapt to your preferences.

Further information about this can be found under "User profile" in your vehicle's Owner's Manual.

You can ignore this error message.

Please contact us directly with any further questions or problems – we will assist you as quickly as possible.

There are no fixed times for the delivery of software updates. As soon as quality improvements or new functionalities are available for your vehicle and its equipment, they will be sent to you promptly.

Updates will be conveniently sent to you via your vehicle's mobile phone connection. Most updates are automatic and require no action on your part. Some updates require that you confirm them in the system menu of your COMAND Online system. Corresponding information will be made available to you both in Mercedes me and in your COMAND system.

There may be rare cases where an update could not be carried out. In such cases, your vehicle will remain fully operational and roadworthy.

At a later juncture you will receive the update either once again via your vehicle's mobile phone connection or, if necessary, the next time it is serviced at the latest.

No. Software updates cannot be deactivated, as they are part of the basic Mercedes me connect service package. The updates are necessary to ensure the long-term quality and availability of Mercedes me connect services.

Yes. There are no restrictions on using your vehicle while software is being updated. Download and installation take place while the vehicle is stationary.

If your vehicle supports Mercedes me connect and you have activated Mercedes me connect, make sure that you have accepted the Terms of Use for Remote Retrieval of Vehicle Status and have activated the service.

With the Mercedes me Adapter retrofit solution, information on the vehicle status is located in your Mercedes me Adapter App.

Regrettably, if your vehicle does not support Mercedes me connect, vehicle data will not be available.

Updating of the remote data is triggered as soon as you switch off your vehicle's engine – but the data will only be transferred if there is a mobile data connection to the vehicle. If you have parked your vehicle in a location with a poor or inadequate connection to a mobile network (e.g. in an underground garage), it may not be possible for the data to be transferred.

The Parked Vehicle Locator service was developed to find the vehicle in a car park. It has a maximum radius of 1.5 kilometres, based on your current location.

If your vehicle is within this radius and the Parked Vehicle Locator service still does not work, check whether you have enabled the Location function on your smartphone (or device). This is required if you wish to use the service.

If an error occurs when accessing a service, please contact us directly – we will assist you as quickly as possible.
