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. 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
Roof antenna functionality (telephone, satel-
lite radio, GPS) can be affected by the use of roof carrier systems.
Attaching metalized retrofit film to the wind-
shield may affect radio reception and have a
negative impact on all other antennas (e.g.
emergency antenna) in the vehicle interior.
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
15 Z

R
vehicle reactions and operating conditions
in special driving situations, e.g. air bag
deployment, intervention of stability
control systems
R ambient conditions, e.g. outside tempera-
ture
This data is of an exclusively technical nature and can be used to:
R assist in recognizing and rectifying mal-
functions and defects
R assist in recognizing and rectifying mal-
functions
R analyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
R optimize vehicle function
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor-
mation can be read from the event data mem- ory and malfunction data memory.
Services include, for example:
R repair services
R service processes
R warranties
R quality assurance
It is read by employees of the service network (including manufacturers) using special diag-
nostic devices. More detailed information is
obtained from it, if required.
After a malfunction has been rectified, the
information is deleted from the malfunction
memory or is continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are
conceivable in which this technical data, in
connection with other information (if neces-
sary, under consultation with an authorized
expert), could be traced to a person.
Examples include:
R accident reports
R damage to the vehicle
R witness statements
Further additional functions that have been
contractually agreed upon with the customer allow certain vehicle data to be conveyed by
the vehicle as well. The additional functions
include, for example, vehicle location in case
of an emergency. Qualified specialist workshop
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual. Information on copyright
General information
Information on licenses for free and Open
Source software used in your vehicle and in
the electronic components can be found on
this website: http://www.mercedes-
benz.com/opensource . 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 systems and functions. Therefore, the equip-
ment on your COMAND system may differ
from that in the descriptions and illustrations. Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Function restrictions
For safety reasons, some functions are
restricted or unavailable while the vehicle is in

because either you will not be able to select
certain menu items or a message will appear
