Your COMAND system may have some or

the operation of any equipment, your au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center will be
glad to demonstrate the proper procedu-
res.
We continuously strive to improve our pro-
duct and ask for your understanding that
we reserve the right to make changes in design and equipment. Therefore, informa-
tion, illustrations and descriptions in this
manual might differ from the equipment in-
stalled in your vehicle. As such, the infor-
mation, illustrations and descriptions
contained in this manual may not be reaso-
nably relied upon in making any claims
with respect to the actual performance of
the product.
These operating instructions form an inte-
gral part of the vehicle and should there-
fore always be kept inside the vehicle and
passed on to the new owner if the vehicle
is sold.
We extend our best wishes for many miles
of safe, pleasurable driving.
