Bluetooth ®
technology is the standard for
short-range wireless data transmission of up
to approximately 10 metres. Bluetooth ®
can
be used to exchange vCards or make calls
using a headset or handset, for example.
If your vehicle is equipped with convenience
telephony* and you would like to make calls
using the Bluetooth ®
interface, be sure that
your mobile phone is neither in the mobile
phone bracket* nor connected to it*. This
may result in a malfunction, depending on the
type of mobile phone.

Navigation* (route guidance with
RDS-TMC) Introduction to RDS-TMC
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits free-of-
charge RDS-TMC traffic reports in addition to
the radio programme. COMAND can receive
the RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them
into consideration for dynamic route guid-
ance. Thus, for example, the navigation sys-
tem can guide you around a traffic jam.
In Germany, COMAND uses top-quality traffic
data provided by T-Systems Traffic for the
TMCpro traffic jam warning service. This
information is available nationwide and 24
hours a day. In contrast to the public TMC
service, TMCpro uses reports from public
sources. Moreover, TMCpro utilises exclusive
data from its own automated sensor network
for monitoring traffic conditions. The traffic
announcements which are read over public
radio stations (TA) may differ from TMCpro
traffic announcements. Dynamic route guidance
The Dynamic route is the same type of route
as the Fast route. In addition, COMAND
takes RDS-TMC traffic announcements that
have been received into consideration 23
when calculating the route for dynamic route
guidance. If a quicker route is determined due
to reception of an RDS-TMC traffic announce-
ment, the navigation system changes the
route. If possible, it will bypass blockages.
X To switch on: setDynamic route as the
route type 23
.
Proceed as described in the "Setting the
route type" section (Y page 131).
X To switch off: select a different route type.
i COMAND calculates a new route if you
change the route type setting with route
guidance active. If you change the route
type setting when route guidance is inac- tive, COMAND uses the new setting for the
next route guidance.
If TMCpro is received, this is indicated by the
TMCpro symbol at the lower right in the dis-
play.
If a public TMC service is received, the TMC
symbol appears at the lower right in the dis-
play.
If RDS-TMC reception is not possible, no sym-
bol will appear. RDS-TMC displays on the map
COMAND can show certain traffic incidents
on the map. These displays can be seen on
map scales 50 m (0.05 miles) to 50 km (50
miles).
X To set the map scale: turncVduntil the
desired map scale is set.
Turning clockwise enlarges the map, turn-
ing anti-clockwise reduces the map. Example display of a traffic jam on the route
:
Icon concerning an incident on the route:
in this example, a traffic jam

i COMAND uses corresponding sym-
bols ;to highlight the entire section of the
affected route. Symbols ;are displayed
on the side of the carriageway affected by
the incident.

alcohol-based solvents or petrol
R abrasive cleaning agents
R commercially-available household clean-
ing agents
These may damage the display surface. Do
not exert pressure when cleaning the dis-
play surface as this may lead to irreversible
damage.
Cleaning the seat covers !
Do not use microfibre cloths to clean gen-
uine leather, artificial leather or Alcantara
covers, as these are too aggressive and, if
used often, may damage the cover.
! You should clean:
R genuine leather covers with a damp
cloth, then wipe the covers down with a
dry cloth. Make sure that the leather
does not become soaked. For leather
care, use a leather care agent recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz. You can
obtain information about this from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
R artificial leather covers with a cloth mois-
tened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e. g. washing-up liquid).
R fabric covers with a microfibre cloth
moistened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e. g. washing-up liquid). When
cleaning, take care not to rub too vigo-
rously and always wipe entire seat sec-
tions to avoid leaving visible lines. Leave
the seat to dry afterwards. Cleaning
results depend on the type of dirt and
how long it has been there.
R Alcantara covers with a damp cloth.
Make sure you wipe entire seat sections
to avoid leaving visible lines.
i Note that regular care is essential to
ensure that the quality (both appearance and comfort) of the covers is retained over
time.
Cleaning Night View Assist* !
Do not attempt to clean the lens of the
Night View Assist camera. If the camera
lens is dirty, visit a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. X
Fold down the camera cover by recess :. X
Use a soft cloth to clean the windscreen in
front of camera ;.
! If you are using a glass cleaner, do not
spray it onto the lens of the Night View
Assist camera. Care

, and are
marked as follows:
R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Exten-
ded* (with run-flat characteristics)
If you use other tyres, Mercedes-Benz can-
not accept any responsibility for damage
which may occur. Information about tyres
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
! If you fit tyres other than those tested and
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, charac-
teristics such as handling, noise levels and
fuel consumption, etc. may be adversely
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, tyre dimensional variations could
cause the tyres to come into contact with
the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
i Further information about tyres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
i You will find a table of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap. You will find further information about tyre
pressures in the “Operation” section
(Y
page 298).
i Notes on vehicle tyres:
Always
R fit tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
R fit the same type of tyres on your vehicle
at a given time (summer tyres, winter
tyres, MOExtended tyres)
i Vehicles with the MOExtended run-flat
system are not equipped with the TIREFIT
kit. 43
Therefore, it is recommended that you
additionally equip your vehicle with the
TIREFIT kit* when fitting tyres that do not
feature run-flat properties, e.g. winter
tyres.
i A TIREFIT kit is available from any quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre. Tyres of the same dimensions
