Useful information
i This Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional
equipment of your vehicle available at the
time of publication of the Operator's
Manual. Country-specific differences are
possible. Please note that your vehicle may
not be equipped with all features
described. This also applies to safety-
related systems and functions.

Operating safety
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
operatio nofothercomponents.
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 enter system
settings while the vehicle is at a standstill, and
operate the system only when permitted by
road, weather and traffic conditions.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every
second. COMAND supplies you with information to
help you select your route more easily and
guide you conveniently and safely to your
destination
.For safety reasons, we
encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a
safe place before answering or placing a call,
or consulting the COMAND screen to read
navigational maps, instructions, or
downloaded information. 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. G
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
(20 cm) and more between the radiator and a
person's body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, fee tand legs.)
Declarations of conformity Vehicle components whic
hreceive and/
or transmit radio waves
USA only: The wireless devices of this vehicle
comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operatio nis subject to the following two
conditions: 1) These devices may not cause 110
IntroductionCOMAND
harmful interference, and 2) These devices
must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
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 interference, and (2)
These devices must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause

Correct use Observe the following information when using
COMAND:
R the safety notes in this manual
R national road traffic regulations
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 Therefore, have all work on or
modifications to electronic components
carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
i Protection against theft:t his device is
equipped with technical provisions to
protect it against theft. You can obtain
further information about protecting
against theft from a qualified specialist
workshop. Function restrictions For safety reasons, some COMAND functions

damage, COMAND deactivates it at very high
temperatures. The following functions will be
temporarily unavailable:
