Mercedes Telediagnosis Manual
Notes: This service is not available in all countries.
The vehicle can detect if certain worn parts need to be replaced or if malfunctions have occurred in-vehicle systems. If the Tele diagnosis service is activated, relevant data is automatically transmitted to the manufacturer. If fault conditions are detected by the vehicle system self-diagnosis, the system transmits recommendations for action to the Mercedes-Benz customer center depending on the fault detected. The customer center transmits the data to the service partner that you have entered on the Mercedes me website at: http://www.mercedes.me.
For selected faults, the notification that a malfunction has been detected may appear in the multimedia system with a request to contact the Mercedes-Benz customer center. From this message, a call can be made directly to the customer center for assistance. The transmission of a notification to the multimedia system depends on the country, vehicle model, and equipment and requires a fast data connection, over which the service provider has no influence.
Reliable fault detection is subject to technical
limitations. Therefore, only a limited selection of faults can be detected and recommendations for action transmitted to the customer center and the service partners. Mercedes-Benz AG is continuously working on the expansion of this service. The fault detection depends on the country, vehicle model, and equipment.
Data transferred when using Telediagnostics
When the service is activated, relevant data is automatically transferred to determine the required scope of maintenance as well as malfunction detection and malfunction rectification. Details on data transfer can be found in the data protection information for the Mercedes connect services. These can be found at: https://www.mercedes.me under “My Mercedes me account”, and “Terms of use”. The scope of the data transmitted depends on the vehicle model and equipment. For technical reasons, not all data is available at all times.
