WarningG
For safety reasons, you should only enter a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger
should enter the destination. Study manual
and select route before driving.
Do not watch display screen or operate but-
tons while the vehicle is in motion - let voice
instructions guide you. Stop at a safe locati-
on before using buttons or making correc-
tions.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recomm endations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car is co-
vering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
The route calculated by COMAND is a re-
commendation on how to best reach your
selected destination.
During route guidance, you will not receive
any information on
Traffic lights
Stop and yield signs
Parking or stopping zones
One-way streets
Narrow bridges
Similar traffic regulation data
You should therefore always strictly observe
traffic regulations while driving. Drive care-
fully and always obey tr affic laws and road
signs even if they contradict COMAND in-
structions.
WarningG
The Navigation DVD module contains a
Class 1 laser product. There is a danger of
invisible laser radiation if the cover is ope-
ned or damaged.
Do not remove the cover. The Navigation
DVD module does not contain any parts ser-
viceable by the user. For safety reasons,
have any necessary service work performed
only by qualif ied personnel.

Important notes
COMAND calculates the route with the
help of data that is stored on the navigati-
on DVD.
Only use Mercedes-Benz navigation DVDs.
Using other navigation DVDs or CDs will
cause malfunctions and/or damage.
Because of changes in local traffic patterns
(e.g. road works) and/or incomplete data,
errors in calculation may occur.
As a result, the recommended route may
deviate from the ideal route. The data
stored on the DVD only reflects local con-
ditions at the time of DVD production. DVD
maps do not cover all areas nor all routes
within an area.
Loading/ejecting a DVD
DVDs are loaded and ejected at the
navigation computer. The navigation
computer is located on the left side in the
trunk.
Open panel cover to get access to the
navigation computer. 1

GPS (Global Positioning System) 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
i
If you do not remove the DVD from
the slot within arou nd 15 seconds, the
COMAND will pull the DVD into the
drive.
