General notes
Conditions for access
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 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.
USA only:
To use COMAND Mercedes-Benz Apps and
Internet access, the following conditions
must be fulfilled:
Rmbrace is activated and operational

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

conditions are necessary:
RThe mobile phone supports the DUN Blue-
tooth®profile ( Dial-U pNetworking) and is

interface (Ypage 383). The DUN Blue-
tooth®profile enables the mobile phone to
establish a dial-up connection to the Inter-
net.
RYou need a valid mobile service contract
with a data option, which is used to calcu-
late the associated connection costs.
RThe access data of the mobile phone net-
work provider must be set on COMAND for
