2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class SEDAN roof

Canada only:
The wireless devices of this vehi-
cle comply with Industry Canada license-
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause interference,
and
2) These devices must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device. Correct use
You need to observe the following information
when using the multimedia system:
R the safety notes in this manual
R traffic rules and regulations
R laws and safety standards pertaining to motor
vehicles
Using roof carriers may impair the correct func-
tioning of a roof antenna (phone, satellite radio,
GPS).
Attaching metalized retrofit film to the wind-
shield may affect radio reception. This can have a negative impact on all other antennas (e.g.
emergency call antenna) in the vehicle interior.
Protection against theft: this device is equip-
ped with technical provisions to protect it
against theft. Further information on protection
against theft can be obtained from an author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center. Qualified specialist workshop
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual. Function restrictions
For safety reasons, some functions are restric-
ted or unavailable while the vehicle is in motion.
You will notice this, for example, because either you will not be able to select certain menu items
or a message will appear to this effect. Data stored in the vehicle
Data recording
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 events
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 components,
e.g. fluid levels
R the vehicle's status messages and those of its
individual components, e.g. number of wheelrevolutions/speed, deceleration in move-
ment, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal
position
R malfunctions and defects in important system
components, e.g. lights, brakes
R vehicle reactions and operating conditions in
special driving situations, e.g. air bag deploy-ment, intervention of stability control sys-
tems
R ambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
R assist in detecting and rectifying faults and
defects
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 memory
and fault data memory.
Services include, for example:
R repair services
R service processes
R warranty events
R quality assurance
The vehicle is read out by employees of the ser-
vice network (including the manufacturer) using
special diagnostic testers. You can obtain more information there, if required. 16
Introduction

Your multimedia system equipment
These operating instructions describe all the
standard and optional equipment of your multi-
media system, as available at the time of going
to press. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not
feature all functions described here. This also
applies to safety-relevant systems and func-
tions.

workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual. Introduction
Important safety notes
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 whenoperating the multimedia system.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking the following into
account, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and yield signs
R merging lanes
R parking or stopping in a no parking/no stop-
ping zone
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
R narrow bridges
The multimedia system may give incorrect nav-
igation commands if the actual street/traffic
situation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. 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 regulations
always have priority over the system'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. Looking
at the icons or map display can distract you from traffic conditions and driving, and increase the
risk of an accident. General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation system The navigation system must determine the posi-
tion 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 reception. In
certain situations, GPS reception may be
impaired, there may be interference or there
may be no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels or
parking garages.
i Using roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone, satellite
radio, GPS).
Entry restriction For vehicles in certain countries, there is a data
entry restriction.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed of
above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).As soon
as the speed falls below approximately 2 mph
(3 km/h), the restriction becomes inactive.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. Menu items are shown in gray and cannot be selected.
For example:
R entering the destination city and street
R entering a destination via the map Introduction
