Your COMAND equipment
These operating instructions describe all
standard and optional equipment available
for your COMAND system at the time of pur-
chase. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. Please note that your COMAND system may not be equipped with all the features
described. This also applies to safety-relevant

from that in the descriptions and illustrations. Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Important safety notes

WARNING
If you operate mobile communication equip-
ment 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 this equipment when the vehicleis stationary.
If you make a call on your mobile phone while
driving, always use hands-free mode. Only
use the mobile phone when road, weather
and traffic conditions permit. Some jurisdic-
tions prohibit the driver from using a mobile
phone while driving a vehicle.
Bear in mind that at a speed of 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
per second.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the
health of others.
There is scientific discussion surrounding the possible health risks posed by electromag-
netic fields. You can reduce this risk by using
an exterior antenna. Therefore, connect your mobile communica-
tions equipment to the vehicle's exterior
antenna wherever possible. General notes
Connection difficulties while the vehi-
cle is in motion
The connection may be lost if:
R the mobile phone network coverage is
insufficient
R the vehicle has moved into a mobile phone
cell with no free channels
R the SIM card used is not compatible with
the network available Function restrictions
You will not be able to use the Mercedes-Benz
Apps and Internet connection, or will no lon-
ger be able to use them, or may have to wait
before using them, in the following situations:
R when the mobile phone is switched off.

General notesOnline and Internet functions

i
It is possible that you may not be able to
receive calls when an Internet connection
is active. This depends on the mobile phone
and the mobile phone network used. Conditions for access
USA: to use Mercedes-Benz apps and Inter-
net access, mbrace must be activated and
operational. Furthermore, mbrace must be
activated for Mercedes-Benz apps and Inter-
net access. Take note of the connection pri-
orities. An emergency call has the highest pri-
ority. 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 dur-
ing a service call.
Canada: a mobile phone must be connected
via Bluetooth ®
(Y page 138) or USB
(Y page 235) with COMAND. Furthermore,
you need a valid mobile service contract with
a data option, which is used to calculate the
associated connection costs.
Conditions for a Bluetooth ®
connection
R The mobile phone supports at least one of
the Bluetooth ®
profiles DUN (Dial-Up
Networking) or PAN (Personal Area
Network).
The Bluetooth ®
profiles DUN and PAN ena-
ble the Internet connection of the mobile
phone to be made available to the system.
Conditions for a USB connection
R The mobile phone supports at least one of
the USB classes:
- RNDIS (R emoteNetwork DriverInter-
face Specification)
- CDC/NCM (Network ControlModel)
- CDC/ECM (Ethernet ControlModel)
- CDC/ACM (Access ControlModel) The USB classes enable the mobile phone
Internet connection to be made available to
the system.
The terms of use are shown when the system 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.
The driver is not permitted to call up websites while driving and use of the Mercedes-Benz
Apps is restricted.
i The availability of individual Mercedes-
Benz Apps may vary depending on the
country. Setting up an Internet connection
Procedure and general information
USA: to use Mercedes-Benz apps and Inter-
net access, mbrace must be activated and
operational. Furthermore, mbrace must be
