Safety instructions
WarningG
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should insert
CDs with the vehicle at a standstill and
operate the audio system only if permitted
by road, weather and traffic conditions.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
every second.
WarningG
The CD drive is a Class 1 laser product.
There is a danger of invisible laser radiation
when you open or damage the cover.
Do not remove the cover. The CD drive does
not contain any parts which can be serviced
by the user. For safety reasons, have any ne-
cessary service work performed by qualified
personnel.
Tips on data storage media
!
Do not attach labels of any type to the
CD. They may become detached and
damage the drive.
!
Your CD drive has been designed to
play CDs which correspond to the IEC
60908 standard. Therefore only CDs
not exceeeding a thickness of 1.3 mm
can be used.
If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g.
ones that have data on both sides (one
side with DVD data, the other side with
audio data), they will become stuck and
damage the drive.
Do not play single CDs (80mm) with an
adapter. An adapter could become
stuck and damage the drive. Only use
12 cm diameter CDs.

Important notes
In chapter “Telephone”, you will find de-
tailed information regarding the telepho-
ne*, including emergency call.
1 Observe all legal requirements
WarningG
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.
WarningG
Radio transmitters, such as a portable tele-
phone or a citizens band unit should only be
used inside the vehicle if they are connected
to a separate exterior antenna that has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz.

Important notes

Important notes
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 recommendations 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 traffic 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
by qualified personnel.
The display unit can cause injury if contac-
ted when open. Return the display unit after
inserting a Navigation DVD to its closed
position (
page 172).

Voice instructions
WarningG
Voice instructions are intended to direct you
while driving without diverting your attenti-
on from the road and driving.
Always use this feature instead of consulting
the map display for directions. Consulting
the map displays for directions may cause
you to divert your attention from driving and
increase the risk of an accident.

140 Navigation*
Route guidance
Usually COMAND guides you through fully
digitized areas on verified roads for as long
as possible. Route guidance is conducted
in the usual manner, i.e. with navigation
announcements and route guidance dis-
plays, map or split screen.
The DVD map may contain areas that are
only partially digitized with unverified
roads although they are within a digitized
region.Verified roads
include information about the road’s
average speed, turning restrictions, or
whether it is a one-way street
are typically roads within a
metropolitan area, interstate freeways
or major roads connecting cities
enable reasonably accurate route
calculation and selection
Unverified roads
are roads which lack the expected
road’s average speed and other
attributes
could be smaller city streets and roads
either named incorrectly, have no
name or the name is shown in the
wrong location
may not enable reasonably accurate
route calculation and selection
Partially digitized areas/unverified
roads
WarningG
Due to incomplete digitization, the route
shown on the map may differ from the actual
road/traffic situation.
If you follow the route shown on the map, for
example, it is possible that you could drive
the wrong way down a one-way street, that
a street cannot be driven on or that the road
is of questionable quality.
When using route guidance on a unverified
road in a partially digitized area, you must
therefore be sure to observe all relevant
traffic regulations and the course of the
road.
Drive carefully and keep in mind that all re-
levant traffic regulations and the course of
the road always take priority over the route
shown on the map.
