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.
COMAND introduction
COMAND operating safety
COMAND (
Cockpit Management and Data
System) is an information and operating
center for vehicle sound and communications
systems. It includes the radio and navigation
system, as well as other optional equipment
(satellite radio, telephone, etc.).
GWarning!
Any alteration of electronic components or
software can cause malfunctions.
Radio, satellite radio, amplifier, CD/DVD
changer, navigation module, telephone and
Voice Control Systems are interconnected.
Therefore, if one of the components is not
operational, or has not been removed/
replaced properly, the function of other
components could be impaired.
Such conditions might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend to have any service work on
electronic components carried out by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
GWarning!
In order to avoid distraction which could lead
to an accident, the driver should enter system
settings while the vehicle is at a standstill, and
operate the system only when permitted by
road, weather and traffic conditions.
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 supplies you with information to
help you select your route more easily and
guide you conveniently and safely to your
destination. For safety reasons, we
encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a
safe place before answering or placing a call,
or consulting the COMAND screen to read
navigational maps, instructions, or
downloaded information.GWarning!
While the navigation system provides
directional assistance, the driver must remain
focused on safe driving behavior, especially
attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the system’s audio cues while
driving.
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. Their
observance always remains in the driver’s
personal responsibility. Maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes within an area.
GWarning!
HYBRID vehicles: It is imperative that you read
the HYBRID Supplemental Operating
Instructions included in your vehicle literature
portfolio. You may otherwise not receive all
necessary safety information and warning for
the operation of your vehicle.
Availability of functions while the
vehicle is in motion
For safety reasons, certain COMAND
functions are not available while the vehicle
is in motion or they are only available to a
limited extent. You will notice this, for
example, by the fact that certain menu items
cannot be selected or that the COMAND
display shows a corresponding message.

control. Make sure the volume is not set
too high before putting on a headphone.
RThe DVD changer can playback only one
media source at a time. Example: if the
driver is playing an audio CD, the front
passenger can not play a different medium
(e.g. DVD video) from the DVD changer.
However, it is possible for the front
passenger to play media from radio,
memory card, MUSIC REGISTER, media
interface, USB, AUX or Rear Seat
Entertainment System.
RWhen driver and front passenger are using
the same medium, each can select
individual settings for that medium.
RCOMAND transmits music and voice to the
wireless headphone for the front passenger
side via infrared signal. The headphone and
the display must have visual contact. This
provides best possible transmission of the
infrared signal to the headphone. Please
note that the headphone has a left and right
side and must be used accordingly.
RWhen SPLITVIEW is on, the front passenger
can operate audio or video functions only.
RThe multifunction steering wheel lets you
operate functions for the driver’s side only.

30 minutes.
