To access the telephone screen of your Mercedes-Benz hands-free system, press the "TEL" key on the center console or select "Tel". The screen will display options such as "Navi", "Audio", "Tel", "Video", "System", and indicate "Ready for Bluetooth telephony...". It also lists "Name", "Connect device", "SMS", and "Call lists".
