Declarations of conformity
Vehicle components which receive
and/or transmit radio waves
i USA only:
The wireless devices of this
vehicle comply with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause interfer-
ence, and
2) These devices must accept any interfer- ence, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
i Canada only:
The wireless devices of this
vehicle comply with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause interfer-
ence, and
2) These devices must accept any interfer- ence, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device. 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 sys-
tems 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 metalized retrofit film to the
windshield may affect radio reception and
have a negative impact on all other anten-
nas (e.g. emergency antenna) in the vehicleinterior.
i Therefore, have all work on or modifica-
tions to electronic components carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. This
workshop should have the necessary spe-
cialist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends 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 pro-
tect it against theft. Further information on
protection against theft can be obtained
from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Data stored in the vehicle
A wide range of electronic components in
your vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about: R The vehicle's operating state
R Incidents
R Malfunctions
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
R operating conditions of system compo-
nents, e.g. fluid levels
R the vehicle's status messages and those of
its individual components, e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in Operating safety
