Operating safety
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle when driving, you may be distracted from
the traffic situation. You could also lose con-
trol of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Only operate this 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 the multimedia system.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rmerging lanes
Rparking or stopping in a no parking/no stop-
ping zone
Rother road and traffic rules and regulations
Rnarrow bridges
The multimedia system may provide incorrect
navigation recommendations 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 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. 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) every
second.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equip-
ment and meets t
he FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
This equipment has very low levels of RF energy
that is deemed to comply without maximum
permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). How-
ever, it is recommended to install it at a distance of at least 8 inches (approx. 20 cm) between the
radiation source and a person's body (not
including limbs such as hands, wrists, feet and
legs).
GWARNING
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 inten-
ded 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.
Declarations of conformity
Vehicle components which receive
and/or transmit radio waves
USA only: The wireless devices of this vehicle
comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.

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:
Rthe safety notes in this manual
Rtraffic rules and regulations
Rlaws and safety standards pertaining to motorvehicles
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:
Rthe vehicle's operating state
Revents
Rmalfunctions
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
Roperating conditions of system components,
e.g. fluid levels
Rthe vehicle's status messages and those of its
individual components, e.g. number of wheel
revolutions/speed, deceleration in move-
ment, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal
position
Rmalfunctions and defects in important system
components, e.g. lights, brakes
Rvehicle reactions and operating conditions in
special driving situations, e.g. air bag deploy-
ment, intervention of stability control sys-
tems
Rambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
Rassist in detecting and rectifying faults and
defects
Ranalyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
Roptimize 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:
Rrepair services
Rservice processes
Rwarranty events
Rquality 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.
After a malfunction has been rectified, the infor-
mation is deleted from the malfunction memory or is continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are con-
ceivable in which this technical data, in connec-

General notes
The rear view camera covers the immediate sur-
roundings behind the vehicle and assists you
when parking.
The rear view camera isonly an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your imm edi-
ate surroundings. You are always responsible
for safe maneuvering and parking. Make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects in
the maneuvering area while maneuvering and
parking in parking spaces.

Navigation
When recording the route, bear in mind the fol-
lowing:
RIf the SD card is inserted, it must not be
removed during recording.
RIf route recording is started manually, it must
be finished manually before the multimedia
system is switched off (e. g. when the engine
is switched off).
RThe multimedia system minimizes the num-
ber of route points recorded. Therefore when
the recorded route is subsequently com-
menced, it may differ from the route that was
originally recorded.

Route guidance
General notes
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking the following into
account, for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rtemporary traffic rules and regulations
The navigation system can give differing driving
recommendations if the actual street/traffic sit-
uation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. For example, if the road layout or
the direction of a one-way street has been
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 system driving recom-
mendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 54).
The multimedia system guides you to your des-
tination by means of navigation announcements
in the form of audible navigation announce-
ments and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if nav-
igation mode is switched on.
If you do not follow the navigation announce-
ments or if you leave the calculated route, the
multimedia system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
