Vehicle remote malfunction diagnosis
With the vehicle remote malfunction diagno-

vehicle. During an existing call, vehicle data is
transferred to the Customer Assistance Cen-
ter.
The customer service representative can use
the received data to decide what kind of
assistance is required. You are then, for
example, guided to the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center or a recovery vehicle
is called.
If vehicle data needs to be transferred during
an MB Info call or a Roadside Assistance call,
this is initiated by the Customer Assistance
Center.
