Services
Roadside Assistance Services
If your vehicle's battery has run down, a roadside assistance provider will attempt to boost the battery so that your vehicle can continue under its own power.
Flat Tire
If your vehicle has a flat tire, the roadside assistance provider will install your serviceable, inflated and properly mounted spare tire, where applicable.
If a spare tire is not available or cannot be installed, your vehicle will be towed to the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.
Winching and Extrication
If your vehicle becomes stuck, winching or extrication may be provided when the vehicle can be safely accessed from a cleared, normally travelled road and can proceed under its own power once recovered.
This service does not apply to vehicles immobilized in snow-covered driveways or parking lots. Any winching or extrication service is provided at the owner's risk.
Mercedes-Benz is not responsible for vehicle damage that may occur during this service.

Rescue Assist
Mercedes-Benz is committed to safety through Rescue Assist – the first-ever use of QR codes to help passengers and first responders stay safe. The QR code in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle quickly identifies where batteries, airbags and other structural elements are located to safely perform the rescue. When you scan the QR code, within seconds, a webpage will open to a structural view of the vehicle. Rescue Assist is both free and easy to use.
