Risk of accident
Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions.
Only use COMAN Dorthe telephone when the
road and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only
50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of
nearly 14 mper second. The navigation sys-
tem will not provide you with information
about stop signs, give-way signs, traffic regu-
lations or road safety features. It is up to you
to pay attention to these while driving the
vehicle. Only enter a new destination when
the vehicle is stationary.
This radio can be operated by anyone in
accordance with the relevant EC directive.
The equipment corresponds to curren tEuro-
pean and harmonised national standards.
This guarantees that the equipmen tconforms
to the relevant specifications regarding elec-
tromagnetic compatibility.
As a result, interference caused by your
equipment to other electrical/electronic
equipment and interference to your equip-
ment caused by other electrical/electronic
equipment can be largely prevented.
The equipment is approved by the vehicle
manufacturer in accordance with European
Automotive EMC Directive 95/54/EC. This
means that the equipment in your vehicle is
authorised for use accordin gto the given reg-
ulations. The equipment does not require cer-
tification
The equipment conforms to the relevant
equipment-specific EMC specifications in
accordance with the following European
standards:
EN 55013
EN 55020 Correct use Observe the following information when using
COMAND:
R
the safety notes in this manual
R national road traffic regulations
i Improper work on electronic components
or other systems (such as radio, DVD
changer*) and their software may result in
malfunction or failure. Even systems that
have not been modified could be affected
because the electronic systems are con-
nected. Electronics malfunctions can seri-
ously compromise the operational safety of
your vehicle.
i Only have work on or changes to elec-
tronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop which has the nec-
essary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work. Daimler recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Function restrictions while the vehicle
is in motion For safety reasons, some COMAND functions
are restricted or unavailable while the vehicle
is in motion
.You will notice this, for example,
because you will either not be able to select
certain menu items or because COMAND will
display a message to that effect. 54

conventional road maps. Optimal route guid-
ance can only be provided by the navigation
system in conjunction with the most up-to-
date map software.
Information about new map software ver-
sions can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
You can have your map software updated
there with a DVD, or you can update it your-
self.
Notes on handling DVDs R
Only hold discs by the edge.
R Handle discs carefully to prevent read
errors.
R Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and
dust on discs.
R Use a commercially available cleaning cloth
to clean discs. Do not wipe them with a cir-
cular motion, bu tonly in straight lines from
the centre outwards.
R Place discs back in thei rcases after use.
R Protect discs from heat and direct sunlight.
Updating process The process consists of th
efollowing steps:
R insert the DVD into the single DVD drive or
the DVD changer*.
R then, the updating process begins.
i The update process can take between
60 and 150 minutes, depending on the size
of the map software. All functions which do
not require access to the single DVD drive,
the DVD changer* or the COMAND hard
drive are still operational.
If possible, carry out the update when the
vehicle is stationary. This way you require
less time for the update process, as the
DVD read speed is faster when the vehicle
is stationary.
If you perform the update when the engine
is switched off and the starter battery does
not have enough charge, COMAND may
switch off automatically during the process in order to preserve the battery. If this
occurs, restart the update with the engine
running. G
Risk of poisoning
Never run the engine in an enclosed space.
The exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes is hazard-
ous to your health and can lead to loss of con-
sciousness and death.
i You can interrupt the update process and
recommence later. If you interrupt the
update process, the navigation system will
not be operational.
