2013 MERCEDES-BENZ S-CLASS SEDAN stop start

term "sliding sunroof" refers to both types of
sliding sunroof.
G
WARNING
When opening or closing the sliding sunroof,
make sure that there is no danger of anyone
being harmed by the opening/closing
procedure.
The sliding sunroof is equipped with
automatic
operation and the anti-entrapment
feature. If the movement of the sliding sunroof
is blocked during the closing procedure, the
sliding sunroof will stop and open slightly.
The sliding sunroof operates differently when
the sliding sunroof switch is pressed and held.
See the "Problems with the sliding sunroof"
section for more details.
The opening/closing procedure of the sliding
sunroof can be immediately halted by
releasing the sliding sunroof switch or, if the
sliding sunroof switch was moved past the
resistance point and released, by moving the
sliding sunroof switch in any direction. G
WARNING
The sliding sunroof is made out of glass. In the
event of an accident, the glass may shatter.
This may result in an opening in the roof.
In a vehicle rollover, occupants not wearing
their seat belts or not wearing them properly
may be thrown out of the opening. Such an
opening

also presents a potential for injury for
occupants wearing their seat belts properly,
as entire body parts or portions of them may
protrude from the passenger compartment.
! Only open the sliding sunroof if it is free
of snow and ice. Otherwise, malfunctions
may occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could
be damaged.
! The weather can change abruptly. It could
start to rain or snow. Make sure that the
sliding sunroof is closed when you leave the
vehicle. The vehicle electronics can be damaged if water enters the vehicle
interior.
i Resonance noises can occur in addition
to

the usual airflow noises when the sliding
sunroof is open. They are caused by minor
pressure fluctuations in the vehicle interior.
Change the position of the sliding sunroof
or open a side window slightly to reduce or
eliminate these noises. Operating the sliding sunroof

Introduction
Safety notes G
WARNING
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 G
WARNING
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. 150

Starting route calculation
You can now have COMAND calculate the
route to the address entered or save the
address first, e.g. as your home address (My
address)
(Y page 156).
COMAND checks whether the destination is
unambiguous. If the destination is
ambiguous, further information is requested
to define the destination unambiguously, e.g.
an area of city or a zip code. Address entry menu with destination address
:
Destination address
; To start route calculation X
In the address entry menu, confirm Start
by pressing W.
If

no other route has been calculated, route
calculation starts immediately (Option 1). If
another route has already been calculated
(route guidance is active), a prompt
appears (option 2).
Option 1 – no route guidance active:
route
calculation starts. While route calculation is
in progress, an arrow will indicate the
direction to your destination. Below this, you
will see a message, e.g. Fast route is
being calculated.
Once the route has been calculated, route
guidance begins. If the vehicle is traveling on
a non-digitized road, the system displays the
linear distance to the destination, the
direction of the destination and the Street
Unknown message. In this case, the display
will be grayed out.
Option 2 – route guidance is already
active: if route guidance is already active, a
prompt will appear asking whether you wish
to terminate the currently active route
guidance.
X Select Yes or No and press W to confirm.
If you select Yes, COMAND will stop route
guidance

and start route calculation for the
new destination.
If you select No, COMAND will continue
with the active route guidance.
i Route
calculation takes a certain amount
of time. The time depends on the distance
from the destination, for example.
COMAND calculates the route using the
digital map data.
The calculated route may differ from the
ideal route, e.g. due to roadwork or
incomplete map data. Please also refer to
the notes about the digital map
(Y page 188).
