Introduction Always pay attention to traffic conditions.
Before starting the journey, familiarize your-
self with the address book functions.
Only use COMAND when the road and traffic
conditions permit. You could otherwise
become involved in an accident in which you
or others could be injured.
The address book organizes and stores
entries that are entered from different sour-
ces (mobile phone, memory card, USB device,
COMAND phone book, navigation system).
You can use these entries to make telephone calls and for navigation.
i Number of contacts in the address
book: the address book can store a total of
4000 contacts.
1500 entries each are reserved in the
address book for:
R contacts from the mobile phone
R contacts that you create in COMAND or
import from other sources
The remaining 1,000 entries are assigned
by COMAND as necessary.
i Display of mobile phone contacts:
con-
tacts downloaded from the mobile phone
remain in the address book even if you dis- connect the mobile phone from COMAND.
Contacts that have previously been availa-
ble can be displayed as soon as the mobile phone is reconnected. COMAND down-
loads the contacts again so that any new
contacts that have been added to the
mobile phone can be displayed.
As soon as you connect a new mobile
phone to COMAND all the contacts from
the previous mobile phone are replaced by
those from the new phone's address book.
Address book entries remain stored when
the mobile phone is disconnected. For this reason, delete your personal data using the
reset function before selling your vehicle,
for example (Y page 311).

X Press the 002Bfunction button.

X Start route guidance.
The navigable address is automatically
added to the address book entry.
i This will provide you with an address book
entry that is suitable for navigation. The
next time the navigation is started, the
address data in the navigation, rather than
the postal address, is used if you have
changed address in the address entry
menu. Therefore, make sure that the des-
tination address is the desired destination
when starting navigation from the address
book.
Voice tags Introduction
You can enter voice tags via the Voice Control
System (see the separate operating instruc-
tions). Once you have assigned a voice tag to
an address book entry, you can call up this
entry with a voice command and dial a phone
number, for example. You can add one voice
tag per address book entry.
