Roadside Assistance will arrange to bring you some fuel if you run out,
replace your flat tire with your spare, or jump-start your vehicle if
your battery is dead all at no charge, for as long as you're driving a
Mercedes-Benz (or even someone else's). Charges may apply for
replacement parts.
- For certain models (i.e.: AMG) which have
no spare tire, Roadside Assistance provides inflation of a flat tire
after using the vehicle's Tirefit puncture sealant.

Well
provide you with a high-lighted route indicating major cities, points
of interest, and distances, as well as a convenient list of toll-free
phone numbers for major airlines, hotels, and rental car agencies. At
least two weeks before your journey is to begin, call
1-800-FOR-MERCEDES (1-800-367-6372) and request Trip Routing assistance
(please have your vehicles VIN handy when you call).
TRIP INTERRUPTIONIf
your Mercedes-Benz is still under warranty, Trip Interruption provides
reimbursement to help defray your documented expenditures for
accommodations, meals, and related travel expenses, under these
conditions:
- The breakdown occurs more than 100 miles from your home.
- The problem is covered by warranty and renders the vehicle inoperable or unsafe to drive.

vehicle remains overnight(s) at an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership
while repairs are performed. A Mercedes-Benz dealer will reimburse you
up to $300 per night* for documented actual lodging, food, and related
travel expenses, for a maximum of three consecutive nights from your
vehicle?s initial disablement.
*All Trip Interruption
claims and documentation must be presented to and approved by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership. Please see the service department
at
your local dealer for details.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONTOWINGIn
the event your vehicle requires a tow, Mercedes-Benz Roadside
Assistance can facilitate arrangements for your vehicle to be towed to
the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. The tow service providers,
however, are not contracted through Mercedes-Benz, and their response
times,
as well as their costs, will vary. The Roadside Assistance Program does
not cover the cost of towing. Please see the Warranty Information
Booklet or discuss with your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer to
ascertain whether or not towing charges may be covered for a warrant-able repair.
OTHER REPAIRSDue
to the variety of special tools, parts and diagnostic equipment that
are required to repair our vehicles, there are limitations as to what
can be repaired by a technician in a roadside environment. If your
Mercedes-Benz requires more than Sign and Drive assistance, we will
then dispatch a qualified Mercedes-Benz technician to perform on-site
service or arrange to have your vehicle towed to the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealership. In the event a technician is called upon for
repairs beyond the Sign and Drive program, and the repair is not
covered under any Mercedes-Benz Warranty or a warranty determination
cannot be made at that time, service labor and parts charges may be
assessed. The fees are as follows: $25.00 service fee plus labor at
11/2 times the participating dealers normal labor rate (minimum charge:
30 minutes, plus parts and towing, if necessary, at the dealers normal
retail pricing). There is a surcharge of $40 for a service call between
the hours of midnight and 7:00 A.M. Payment may be made by cash, credit
card or personal check, depending on the policies of the dealership or
tow service provider. Please note that the service technician cannot
determine whether a particular repair at the breakdown site is covered
by warranty; therefore dealership personnel will provide the
appropriate refund in qualifying cases.
SERVICE RESTRICTIONSEvery
attempt will be made to assist a customer, however, the following
circumstances may limit our ability to provide services to you:
- Restricted
Roadways Many states/cities have roadways in which they do not let
unauthorized emergency road agencies enter to assist their customers.
In these cases we will contact the local authority overseeing emergency
road service in that area to assist.
- Acts of Nature Due to
heavy snowstorms, flooding, or other acts of nature, ability to obtain
service may be limited or in some cases, service may be unavailable. In
these cases you may be asked to call 911.
- Vehicle Accessibility
Additional charges may apply for a breakdown location that is not a
reasonably accessible roadside location, as determined by our
authorized technician or roadside service tow provider. These
circumstances include, but are not limited to, Parking Garages that may
inhibit a tow services ability to access and retrieve disabled
vehicles, and vehicles that are on off-road locations. A program of
this magnitude simply would not be possible without the enthusiastic
support of Mercedes-Benz dealers. It?s reassuring to know that
virtually all Mercedes-Benz dealers across the continental United
States and Hawaii and Alaska, participate in this program. Roadside
Assistance service will be provided to all customers by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer within approximately a 30 mile radius. Depending
on the circumstances these services may be provided by an outside
independent service provider, courtesy of
Mercedes-Benz
Roadside Assistance. Mercedes-Benz reserves the right to limit services
and reimbursement to an owner or driver under the program described
when, in the sole judgment of Mercedes-Benz, the claims become
excessive in frequency or type of occurrence. Mercedes-Benz also
reserves the right to revise or discontinue the described
benefits/services at any time without notice, at the sole discretion of
Mercedes-Benz. Prices mentioned above and services available are
current as of date of printing of this material and are subject to
change without notice.
