Correct use
Observe the following information when using
COMAND:
R the safety notes in this manual
R traffic rules and regulations
R laws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles
i Work improperly carried out on electronic
components or systems (e.g. radio, DVD
changer) and associated software could
cause them to cease functioning. Even
systems that have not been modified could
be affected because the electronic
systems are connected. Electronic
malfunctions can seriously jeopardize the
operational safety of your vehicle.
i Roof antenna functionality (telephone,
satellite radio, GPS) can be affected by the
use of roof carrier systems.
Attaching metallized retrofit film to the
windshield may affect radio reception and
have a negative impact on all other
antennas (e.g. emergency antenna) in the
vehicle interior.
i Therefore, have all work on or
modifications to electronic components
carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. This workshop should have the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must
be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. i
Protection against theft: this device is
equipped with technical provisions to
protect it against theft. Further information
on protection against theft can be obtained
from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Qualified specialist workshop
