COMAND operating safety

Warning! G

Any alteration of electronic components or software can cause malfunctions.

Radio, satellite radio* (USA only), amplifier, CD/DVD changer, navigation module, telephone and Voice Control Systems* are interconnected. Therefore, if one of the components is not operational, or has not been removed/ replaced properly, the function of other components could be impaired.

Such conditions might seriously impair the operating safety of your vehicle.

We recommend to have any service work on electronic components carried out by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Warning! G

In order to avoid distraction which could lead to an accident, the driver should enter system settings while the vehicle is at a standstill, and operate the system only when permitted by road, weather and traffic conditions.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/ h), your car covers a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.

COMAND supplies you with information to help you select your route more easily and guide you conveniently and safely to your destination. For safety reasons, we encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe place before answering or placing a call, or consulting the COMAND screen to read navigational maps, instructions, or downloaded information.

Warning! G

While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, especially attention to traffic and street signs, and should utilize the system’s audio cues while driving.

The navigation system does not supply any information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic regulations or traffic safety rules. Their observance always remains in the driver’s personal responsibility. DVD maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area.

왔 COMAND introduction

COMAND (Cockpit Management and Data System) is an information and operating center for vehicle sound and communications systems, including the radio and navigation system, as well as other optional equipment (satellite radio*, telephone*, etc.).

Availability of functions while the vehicle is in motion

For safety reasons, certain COMAND functions are not available while the vehicle is in motion or they are only available to a limited extent. You will notice this, for example, by the fact that certain menu items cannot be selected or that the COMAND display shows a corresponding message.

Switching COMAND on or off

왘 Press the o shortcut button in the

center console (

COMAND calls up the menu last selected.

Introduction to Satellite radio

A subscription to SIRIUS satellite radio ser-

vice provider is required for the satellite radio operation described in this chapter. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for details and availability for your vehicle.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio provides 100 channels, so called streams, of digital-quality radio, among others music, sports, news, and entertainment free of commercials. SIRIUS Satellite Radio uses a fleet of high-power satellites to broadcast 24 hours per day, coast-to-coast, in the contiguous US.

This diverse, satellite-delivered programming is available for a monthly subscription fee. For more information and service availability call the SIRIUS Service Center (

컄 page 111), or go to

www.siriusradio.com.

Satellite radio service may be unavailable or

interrupted from time to time for a variety of reasons, such as environmental or topographic conditions and other things we can’t control. Service might also not be available in certain places (e.g., in tunnels, parking garages, or within or next to buildings) or near other technologies. In such situations, the satellite radio’s main menu shows the “Acquiring signal...” screen. At this point, the radio’s functions are restricted to manual channel number entry ( service info display (

Safety precautions

Warning! G

COMAND is classified as a Class 1 laser product. You must not open the casing. There is a risk of exposure to invisible laser radiation if you open the casing, or if the casing is faulty or damaged. COMAND does not contain any parts that you are able to maintain yourself. For safety reasons, all maintenance work must be carried out by qualified technicians.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.

Warning! G

Only carry out the following when the vehicle is stationary:

앫 Inserting a disc

앫 Ejecting a disc

There is a risk of accident by being distracted from road and traffic conditions if you load a CD/DVD while the vehicle is in motion.

Notes about MP3 mode

Permissible media for MP3 files

앫 CD-R and CD-RW

앫 DVD-R and DVD-RW

앫 PCMCIA card (컄 page 117)

Permissible file systems

앫 ISO9660/Joliet for CDs

앫 UDF for DVDs

앫 FAT16 or FAT32 for PCMCIA cards with

storage medium

Multisession CDs

For multisession CDs, the first session type of the CD determines how COMAND will process the CD.

For example, if the first session type is according to the audio CD standard and the second session type is according to the data CD standard containing MP3 tracks, COMAND will treat the CD as a conventional audio CD. This means that it is only possible to access the audio CD tracks. Access to the MP3 tracks is not possible.

Similarly, if the first session type is according to the data CD standard containing MP3 tracks and the second session type is according to the audio CD standard, COMAND will treat the CD as a data CD.
