Excellence Package

Everything safely in view

On landing in your holiday paradise, you have a nagging doubt about whether you have locked your vehicle at the airport back home. If you forgot to do so, you can lock it now from anywhere in the world via smartphone thanks to the Mercedes-Benz App. And if you ever lock yourself out of your Mercedes or fellow travellers arrive at the vehicle before you, you can also unlock the doors conveniently by app.

Welcoming you with a pleasant climate

Whether it's a hot summer's day or an icy winter morning, you'll be welcomed by pleasant temperatures when you get into your Mercedes-Benz. Simply program the climate control for your desired departure time: You can set up to 3 departure times to the precise minute in the Mercedes-Benz App – your Mercedes-Benz will activate the Auxiliary heating/ventilation automatically at the appropriate time.

Everything just as you like it

Did your son with a different taste in music adjust all the radio settings on his last trip? Simply use the Personalisation function so that everything is as you're used to it when you climb in. You can use it to add your individual profile to store the lumbar support and mirror settings, colour settings for the ambient lighting, your favourite radio station and further functions on a permanent basis. You can store these personal settings in your vehicle under "Settings" and call them up at any time. For supreme comfort from the moment you set off – at the push of a button.

No more unpleasant surprises

You have finally finished the weekly grocery shop, and as usual there's lots going on – when loading up your groceries you notice there's a dent in the bumper of your car. If the culprit didn't leave their address behind, you are now faced with the hassle of organising and paying for the repair yourself. With Theft notification and parking damage detection you will be quicker: A smartphone notification informs you in real time should your vehicle be moved or disturbed. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz App shows the cause of the alarm as well as the level, place and time of the damage. When parking damage is detected, you will also see this information on the media display when you enter the car and you can transmit this to your Mercedes-Benz Partner if you wish.

Note on use

Notification by smartphone in conjunction with the Digital Extra "Theft notification and parking damage detection" is not available for cabriolets.

Ready for any change in the weather

You arrive at the office in the morning in heavy rain, but later the sun comes out. To prevent your Mercedes parked outside from getting too hot inside by the time you finish work, you can raise the sliding sunroof by remote control. A tap on a button in the Mercedes-Benz App is all it takes – even if you are not near your car. And should it start to rain again, the sliding sunroof will close automatically to keep the interior safe and dry.

Fresh air at the push of a button

The sunniest of weather can sometimes be a challenge, as you can't always find a parking space in the shade. Provide for a pleasant climate inside your Mercedes before you set off again. Using the Mercedes-Benz App, you can open the windows and freshen up the interior by remote control while you are on the way to your vehicle. Should it suddenly begin to rain, the windows will close again automatically.

So you know just where you are

Foreign city, winding streets – you can find yourself asking where you parked and what the quickest way back to your vehicle is. Fortunately, your smartphone knows the answer. Your parked vehicle can be located by app within a radius of 1.5 km. And you can take the most direct route back to your Mercedes straight away.

Leave nothing to chance

Your offspring is off once again on a spontaneous tour in your Mercedes with friends. Don't want your vehicle roving around in all directions without any restrictions? Then simply define a restricted area by marking it out on your smartphone or on the Mercedes-Benz profile. As soon as your vehicle leaves or enters this area again, you will be informed.

Finds your Mercedes whenever and wherever

If someone from the family has borrowed your Mercedes without asking, you'll obviously be keen to know just where they are at any given moment. You can easily find this out: either via smartphone or on the Mercedes-Benz profile. Your vehicle's current GPS coordinates will be relayed for this purpose. The driver will be informed of this tracking and can deactivate the function by phone if they so wish via the Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance Center. Contact can be made via Info Call or your own mobile phone.

To prevent your Mercedes from going astray

The long-awaited holiday is finally here. You entrust your Mercedes to a valet parking service upon arrival at the airport. You want to be sure your Mercedes is in safe hands, of course. Vehicle Monitoring lets you keep an eye on all your vehicle's movements while you're away. You receive a notification whenever the ignition is switched on or whenever your Mercedes is moved away from its parking space. So that you have everything under control - leaving you free to enjoy the finer things in life while on holiday.

Let your Mercedes light up the way

It's a familiar predicament: in the dark it can prove impossible to find the vehicle which you parked in a large car park in daylight. The simplest solution: save yourself the trouble of a drawn-out search for your vehicle and have your Mercedes guide you instead. Simply activate the standing lights of your vehicle using the Mercedes-Benz App. Your vehicle will remain locked as you make your way to it. And time-consuming searches for your vehicle are a thing of the past.

Takes you directly to the next available parking space

The troublesome search for a parking space – stressful for the driver, avoidable traffic build-up for local residents. The Available Parking Spaces Digital Extra locates available parking spaces for you in multi-storey car parks and on the street. If you decide on a spot in a multi-storey car park you will receive information such as opening times, prices, payment options and the height limit of the entrance. For parking spaces on the street you will receive information on the size of the parking space and the time that has elapsed since the space became available.

See the weather coming

Get ready for the weather at your destination even during the trip – the Weather map Digital Extra shows you on the map where it's currently sunny, cloudy or raining. Then just tap on the respective weather symbol for further information about the forecast for that area.

Navigate straight to points of interest at any location

Where is the Skytree in Tokyo? How do you get to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco? Your Mercedes knows the way to all the must-see attractions on your city break. You start the Local Search by voice command ..."Hey Mercedes, take me to the Louvre in Paris" or by entering information via the central controls. Save your search results or start your navigation system right away. This way, you can find any point of interest with ease.

Be prepared for any weather, wherever you go

On your way to the mountains, you plan for a break at an idyllic lake. You’ve packed the swimwear and planned the most beautiful route in advance – now only the weather has to play along. Your Mercedes knows if you can expect sun and pleasant temperatures: MBUX "Weather forecast" shows current weather information and forecasts on the media display. You choose the locations for which weather data is displayed – your current location, your destination and any other location of your choice.

Finds the fastest route to your destination every time

On your well deserved weekend outing you are making good progress on the motorway when all of sudden everything comes to a grinding halt – you're in a jam. It is situations such as this that make you wish you had a means of foreseeing traffic situations and taking timely evasive action. Live Traffic Information makes precisely this possible: Your route is modified automatically by reference to current traffic information, and you can continue your journey on less congested roads. Your arrival time is updated dynamically so that you know exactly when you will reach your destination. You stay on the move and can make the best possible use of your valuable time.

Safe and anticipatory driving with the aid of information from the connected network

On a trip in the mountains you're suddenly confronted with an icy patch around a bend and only just avoid skidding out of control. Everyone has experienced such unsettling situations, which pose a major risk in road traffic. Thanks to Car-to-X Communication you can see such hazards coming and react in good time. Vehicles equipped with this technology communicate with each other, so that information is relayed to your vehicle and you, in turn, also keep other drivers informed. You are warned by a marking on the navigation map and, where appropriate, by a spoken announcement. This way, you reach your destination safely, and without any unpleasant surprises.

Always on track with up-to-date map data

Time before heading off on holidays is at a minimum and you still have to go to the workshop to have your navigation data updated? Such time-consuming map updates are a thing of the past with the Online Map Update. You can conveniently update your map material via mobile communication or download from the Mercedes-Benz profile. In this way, you can always be sure that you will reach your destination via the best route.

Your advantages at a glance

With up-to-date navigation maps, you will reach your destination quicker and you will be more relaxed, too. And the Online Map Update also makes updating the map data simpler because a visit to the workshop is no longer required. All you need is a Mercedes-Benz account and a link to Digital Extras for your vehicle. Then select a map region on the Mercedes-Benz profile and the navigation map data will be updated automatically via mobile communication. Otherwise you can update your maps manually, for example if you are planning a trip abroad and would like to update the map material for individual countries or regions.

Please turn on the ignition to do so.

After you have relayed your data, the case number and the relevant police station to the security centre, its employees will take care of the further process. They will manage communication with the police and provide support for the officers by starting the tracking feature and transmitting the position data. If your vehicle is located, the police can start the search immediately.

It will be terminated automatically after 30 days if the vehicle does not send a new position for 30 consecutive days. You do not have any information about the position of your vehicle during the search process.
