Individualization
You can use the individualization function

recognition. This will affect the ability of the
system to recognize the voices of other users,
and for this reason it can be switched off

The individualization function comprises two
parts and lasts around five minutes. During
the process you will practice a few number
sequences and voice commands.

Introduction
Vehicle Equipment
i This Operator’s Manual describes all
features, standard or optional, potentially
available for your vehicle at the time of
purchase. Please be aware that your
vehicle might not be equipped with all
features described in this manual.
Safety Instructions
GWarning
For safety reasons, 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.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the
following:
R Traffic lights
R Stop and right-of-way-signs
R Lane merging
R Parking or stopping prohibited areas
R Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R Narrow bridges
GWarning
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map does
not correspond with the actual road/traffic
situation. Digital maps do not cover all areas
nor all routes within an area. For example, if
the traffic routing has been changed or the
direction of a one-way road has been
reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and
regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands
generated by the system.GWarning
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Consulting the symbols or map display for
directions may cause you to divert your
attention from driving and increase your risk
of an accident.
Updating the Map Software
The digital data for the map software will
become obsolete, just like conventional road
maps. Optimum route guidance by the
navigation system is only achieved with up-
to-date map software. Information on new
map software versions is available from an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
You can have the map software updated there
by means of a DVD or perform the update
process yourself.
Notes on DVD Discs
R Only touch the discs at the edges.
R Handle the discs with care in order to
prevent reading errors.
R Avoid scratching, leaving fingerprints and
dust on the discs.
R Use a commercially available cleaning cloth
to clean discs. Always wipe in a straight line
from the inside outwards, never in a circular
motion.
R After use, put the discs back into the box.
R Protect the discs from heat and direct
sunlight.
