tailed information regarding the telepho-
ne*, including emergency call.
1 Observe all legal requirementsWarning
G
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a cellular telephone while driving a ve-
hicle. Whether or not prohibited by law, for
safety reasons, the driver should not use the
cellular telephone while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. Stop the vehicle in a safe location be-
fore answering or placing a call.
If you nonetheless choose to use the cellular
phone while driving, please use the hands-
free device and be sure to pay attention to
the traffic situation at all times. Use the cel-
lular phone
1 only when road, weather and
traffic conditions permit.
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e.
without being connected to an external an-
tenna) from inside the vehicle while the en-
gine is running. Doing so could lead to
malfunction of the vehicle’s electronic sys-
tems, possibly resulting in an accident and
personal injury.
!Radio transmitters, such as a portable
telephone or a citizens band unit
should only be used inside the vehicle
if they are connected to a separate ex-
terior antenna that has been approved
by Mercedes-Benz.

iIf you have a Mercedes-Benz specified
integrated mobile telephone (TDMA,
CDMA or GSM) and the telephone is
inserted in the cradle, the telephone
functions can be used as follows: 
at the COMAND

at the multifunction steering wheel
This instruction manual describes the
operation at the COMAND. Unless
otherwise indicated, the descriptions
and illustrations refer to the COMAND.
Operation at the mobile phone is
described in separate operating guides.
Refer to the vehicle Operator’s Manual
for operation of the telephone using the
multifunction steering wheel.
iIn certain menus, the COMAND can
display date and time of the calls.
The COMAND can display phone
number and name of the other party
(e.g. if the COMAND detects an
incoming call, but also in other menus).
For the number to be displayed, the
number information must be
transmitted with the incoming call. The
same goes for the name display which
additionally requires that the caller’s
number and name are saved in the
phone book.

first before attempting to operate your
telephone.

Please also read the important notes in
the telephone operating manual.

when you operate the telephone
hands-free.

For safety reasons, you should not use
the mobile telephone handset to make
a call while driving the vehicle.
If the signal strength is very weak (dis-
play in the symbol bar of all menus):
Wait until reception improves before
making a call.
