Warning
G
The CD reader contains a Class 1 laser pro-
duct. There is a danger of invisible laser ra-
diation if the cover is opened or damaged.
Do not remove the cover. The CD reader
does not contain any parts which can be ser-
viced by the user. For safety reasons, have
any service work which may be necessary
performed only by qualified personnel.
!COMAND calculates the route with the
help of data that is stored on the navi-
gation CD.
Only use Mercedes-Benz navigation
CDs. Using other navigation CDs might
lead to malfunctions.
Because of changes in local traffic pat-
terns (e.g. road works) and/or incom-
plete data, errors in calculation may
occur.
As a result, the recommended route
may deviate from the ideal route. The
data stored on the CD only reflects lo-
cal conditions at the time of CD pro-
duction.
iThe CD drive can read navigation CDs
and playback audio CDs.
If an audio CD is in the CD drive and
b is pressed, the message “No CD
available. Insert NAVI-CD type DX only”
will be displayed.
Remove the audio CD and insert a
navigation CD (
page 137).

132 NavigationImportant notes
Travelling abroad
If you intend to travel through different re-
gions or abroad, you will need the respec-
tive navigation CD.
Contact your Mercedes-Benz Center or
the Customer Assistance Center at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372)
for available CDs.
Change the navigation CD
(page 137).
!GPS (G
lobal P
ositioning S
ystem) sig-
nals received make it possible to deter-
mine the current vehicle position.
Deviations from the actual position
may occur

if the reception of GPS signals is
disturbed e.g. in parking garages
and tunnels

if road conditions are bad

depending on the vehicle’s conditi-
on
If the reception of the GPS signal is un-
available, you will have to manually en-
ter the current vehicle position
(page 198).
If your vehicle has been transported by
a car, train or ferry, COMAND needs
some time to find its exact position.
Moving the vehicle a few yards is typi-
cally enough to remedy this situation.
