Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Making alterations to electronic components
can cause malfunctions.
Radio, satellite radio, amplifier, DVD changer,
navigation module, phone and voice control
are networked. If one component is not
functional or if it has been incorrectly
removed/replaced, this could impair the
operation of other components.
This could seriously jeopardize the
operational safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you always have
maintenance work on electronic components
carried out at an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. G
WARNING
In order to avoid distraction which could lead
to an accident, the driver should only enter
system settings with the vehicle at a standstill
and operate the system only when road,
weather and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) per
second.
COMAND delivers information to simplify
your choice of route and guide you
comfortably and safely to your destination.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you
bring your vehicle to a standstill, paying
attention to road and traffic conditions,
before making or accepting a telephone call
or viewing navigation maps, instructions or
downloaded information on the COMAND
screen. G
WARNING
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. DVD maps do not
cover all areas nor all routes within an area.

WARNING
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled
equipment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
Supplement C to OET65.
This equipment has very low levels of RF
energy that is deemed to comply without
maximum permissive exposure evaluation
(MPE). But it is desirable that it should be
installed and operated with at least 8inches

Your COMAND equipment
These operating instructions describe all the
standard and optional equipment for your
COMAND system, as available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific differences
are possible. Please note that your COMAND
system may not be equipped with all the
features described. Introduction
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
For safety reasons, only enter a new
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
When you are driving, another passenger
should enter the destination. Read the
Operator's Manual and select the route
before driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) per
second.
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R merging lanes
R parking or stopping in a no parking/no
stopping zone
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
R narrow bridges G
WARNING
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the actual road/traffic situation
no longer corresponds to the data on the
digital map. Digital maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes in an area. For example,
a route may have been diverted or the
direction of a one-way street may have
changed. For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over the system's driving
recommendations. G
WARNING
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.
Looking at the icons or map display can
distract you from traffic conditions and
driving, and increase the risk of an accident. General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
whenever operational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible.
GPS reception Correct functioning of the navigation system
depends, amongst other things, on GPS
reception. In certain situations, GPS
reception may be impaired, there may be
interference or there may be no reception at
all, e.g. in tunnels or parking garages.
i
Using roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone,
satellite radio, GPS).
Entry restriction On vehicles for certain countries, there is a
restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed
of above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). As
soon as the speed falls below approximately 54

Route guidance from an off-road
location to a destination
If the vehicle position is within the area
covered by the digital map, but the map does
not contain any information about that
location, the vehicle is in an off-road location.
COMAND is also able to guide you to a
destination even from an off-road location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see
the Off road
Off road message, an arrow and the
distance to the destination. The arrow shows
the compass heading to the actual
destination.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from
the last recognized street the vehicle was on
before it left the map.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map
location to a destination If the vehicle position is outside the area
covered by the digital map, then the vehicle
is in an off-map location. COMAND is also
able to guide you to a destination even from
an off-map location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see
the Off road
Off road message, an arrow and the
distance to the destination. The direction
arrow shows the compass heading to the
destination.
The route is highlighted blue from the nearest
road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance Due to roadworks, for example, there may be
differences between the data on the digital
map and the actual course of the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the digital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off-
road position.
In the display, you will see the
Off road
Off road
message, an arrow and the distance to the
destination. The direction arrow shows the
compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way. Traffic reports
Conditions
i This function is currently not available for
Canada.
To receive real-time traffic reports via
satellite radio, you require:
R optionally available satellite radio
equipment
R a subscription to SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio
Traffic Message Service
Further information on satellite radio
(Y page 186).
COMAND can receive traffic reports via
satellite radio and take account of these for
route guidance in the navigation system.
Received traffic reports are displayed on the
map either as text or as symbols. 92
