How to Prevent Account Blocking

To reduce the risk of your account being blocked, please follow these recommendations:

1. Create a separate MB user account for use with this component.
2. Invite the new user to the vehicle:
   The primary user of the vehicle can invite the new HA-MB account to access the vehicle. Up to six additional users can be invited to each vehicle.
3. Use each account in a single environment only:
   Use one account exclusively in HA or in the official MB tools, but never in both simultaneously.

Important Notes

• Certain features, such as geofencing data, are available only to the primary user.
• If geofencing is required in your HA environment, use the primary user account in HA and the secondary accounts in the official MB apps.
