Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid. G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving when operating COMAND.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and yield 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
COMAND can give incorrect navigation com-
mands if the actual street/traffic situation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. 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 reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
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 con-sulting the map display for directions. Look-
ing at the icons or map display can distract
you from traffic conditions and driving, and
increase the risk of an accident.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h) your vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
per second.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled
equipment and meets the FCC radio fre-
quency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supple-
ment 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
(20 cm) and more between the radiator and a
person's body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, feet and legs.) 14
Operating safety

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
