GWARNING
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 controlof 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.
USA only:

Priority of connections: an emergency call
has the highest priority. When a service call,
e.g. a breakdown service call or the MB Info
Call, is active, an emergency call can still be
initiated.
A service call, on the other hand, has priority over a current Internet connection. Therefore,you cannot establish an Internet connection
during a service call.
iThe availability of individual COMAND
Mercedes-Benz Apps may vary depending
on the country.
iThe terms of use are shown when
COMAND is used for the first time and then
once a year thereafter. Only read and accept the terms of use when the vehicle is
stationary.
iInternet pages cannot be shown on the
driver's side while the vehicle is in motion.

In order to use the functions, the following
conditions are necessary:
R The mobile phone supports the DUN Blue-

bles the mobile phone to establish a dial-up

R You need a valid mobile service contract
with a data option, which is used to calcu-
late the associated connection costs.
R The access data of the mobile phone net-
work provider must be set on COMAND for
the connected mobile phone ( Ypage 183).
iIf the connected mobile phone supports
the PAN Bluetooth profile (Personal Area
Network), you can use the automatic con-
figuration function ( Ypage 183).
iYou can obtain more detailed information
about suitable mobile phones on the Inter-
net at http://www.mercedes-

General notes
A good Internet connection is required to
transmit audio data efficiently. To ensure the
best-possible reception, your mobile phone
should be connected to the vehicle's exterior
antenna via the phone bracket (optional).
Bear in mind that a relatively large volume of data can be transmitted when using the Inter-
net radio. An average 128 kbit per second
data transfer rate can transfer 56 MB of data
in one hour.
The data transfer rate of a station is displayed while receiving data.
