Important safety notes

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
intended 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

Roof antenna functionality (telephone, satel-

Protection against theft: this device is
equipped with technical provisions to protect
it against theft. Further information on pro-
tection 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
movement, lateral acceleration, accelera-
tor pedal position
R malfunctions and defects in important sys-
tem components, e.g. lights, brakes
R malfunctions in important system compo-
nents. e.g. lights, brakes Operating safety

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

equipment and operation, please consult an

Operational readiness of the navigation system The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
whenever operational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible.
GPS reception Among other things, correct functioning of
the navigation system depends on GPS recep-
tion. In certain situations, GPS reception may
be impaired, there may be interference or
there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tun-
nels or parking garages.
i Using roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone, sat-
ellite radio, GPS). 76

Recording the route
General notes When recording the route, bear in mind the
following:
R if the SD memory card is inserted, it must
not removed during recording.
R if route recording is started manually, it
must be finished manually before COMAND is switched off (e .g. when the engine is
switched off).
R COMAND minimizes the number of route
points recorded. Therefore when the
recorded route is subsequently com-
menced, it may differ from the route that
was originally recorded.
