WARNING

Your attention must always be focused on the traffic conditions.

Only use COMAND Online or the telephone when the road and traffic conditions permit.

Bear in mind that, at a speed of only 50 km/h nearly 14 m per second. The navigation system does not provide you with information about stop signs, give way signs, traffic regulations or road safety features. It is up to you to pay attention to these while driving the vehicle. Only enter a new destination when the vehicle is stationary.

Declarations of conformity

Wireless vehicle components

The following information applies to all components of the vehicle and the COMAND

system which receive and/or transmit

Online radio waves:

The components of this vehicle which receive and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with the basic requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can obtain further information from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Electromagnetic compatibility

The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehicle

components has been checked and certified according to the currently valid version of Directive ECE-R 10.

Correct use

Observe

the following information when using

COMAND Online:

the safety notes in this manual

traffic rules and regulations

laws and safety standards pertaining to motor vehicles

Improper work on electronic components or other systems (e.g. radio, DVD changer) and their software may result in malfunction or failure. Even systems that have not been modified could be affected because the electronic systems are connected. Electronic malfunctions can seriously jeopardise the operational safety of your vehicle.

The functionality of a roof aerial (telephone, GPS) may be impaired if roof carrier systems are used.

Attaching metallised retrofit film to the windscreen may affect radio reception and have a negative impact on all other aerials (e.g. emergency aerial) in the vehicle interior.

Only have work or changes to electronic components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. This workshop should have the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safetyrelated systems must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Protection against theft: this device is equipped with technical provisions to protect it against theft. Further information on protection against theft can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Data stored in the vehicle

A wide range of electronic components in your vehicle contain data memories.

Operating safety

359

These data memories temporarily or permanently store technical information about:

the vehicle's operating state

events

faults

In general, this technical information documents

the state of a component, a module, a

system or the surroundings.

These include, for example:

operating conditions of system components, e.g. fluid levels

the vehicle's status messages and those of its individual components, e.g. number of wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in movement, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal position

malfunctions and defects in important system components, e.g. lights, brakes

vehicle reactions and operating conditions in special driving situations, e.g. airbag deployment, intervention of stability control systems

ambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature

This data is of an exclusively technical nature and can be used to:

assist in recognising and rectifying faults and defects

analyse vehicle functions, e.g. after an accident

optimise vehicle functions

The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's movements.

When your vehicle is serviced, technical information can be read from the event data memory and fault data memory.

Services include, for example:

repair services

service processes

warranties

quality assurance

It is read by employees of the service network (including manufacturers) using special diag-

nostic testers. More detailed information is obtained from it, if required.

After a fault has been rectified, the information is deleted from the fault memory or is continually overwritten.

When operating the vehicle, situations are conceivable in which this technical data, in connection with other information (if necessary, under consultation with an authorised expert), could be traced to a person.

Examples include:

accident reports

damage to the vehicle

witness statements

Further additional functions that have been contractually agreed upon with the customer allow certain vehicle data to be conveyed by the vehicle as well. The additional functions include, for example, vehicle location in case of an emergency.

Qualified specialist workshop

Read the information on qualified specialist workshops in the vehicle Owner's Manual.

General notes

You can find information on licences for free and open-source software used in your vehi-

and its electronic components on the fol-

SplitView

Method of operation

SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use different COMAND Online

functions on the front-passenger side and on the driver's side. Different content is seen depending on your perspective when viewing the display.

The "Navi" function, for example, can be used from the driver's side while a video is watched from the front-passenger side.

SPLITVIEW is operated with the COMAND remote control from the front-passenger side.

To do so, use the cordless headphones. Using the headphones on the correct sides ensures an optimal sound.

You can connect your own headphones to a special headphones jack. You can use the COMAND remote control to operate them.

At a glance

365

Points to remember

You can only adjust the volume for the headphones

supplied, directly on the head-

phones.

Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio, TV, video and Internet, for example, may be used with SPLITVIEW.

If media from different sources are used, they can be used separately from the driver's and front-passenger sides. Example: if a medium from the DVD changer is being played on the driver's side. Then, no other medium can be used separately on the front-passenger side that is also played from the DVD changer. However, other media can be used at the same time on the front-passenger side, including radio, memory card, MUSIC REGISTER, Media Interface, USB or AUX.

If you use the same medium on both sides, you can both carry out the respective settings.

The Internet can be separately used by both the driver and front passenger at the same time. A corresponding message appears on the display.

Internet can only be used, if it is set and connected via a telephone on the driver's side.

The multifunction steering wheel can only be used for functions which relate to the driver's side.

Introduction

Important safety notes

WARNING

For safety reasons, only enter a new destination when the vehicle is stationary. You may otherwise be distracted from the traffic conditions,

cause an accident and injure yourself

and others.

COMAND Online calculates the route to the destination without taking account of the following, for example:

traffic lights

stop and give way signs

parking or stopping restrictions

road narrowing

other road and traffic rules and regulations

COMAND Online may give incorrect driving recommendations if the data on the digital map does not correspond to actual conditions. 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.

General notes

Operational readiness of the navigation system

In vehicles for certain countries, the navigation system is not operational immediately after delivery. The digital map is not preinstalled.

If this is the case, the following message appears

in the display after you switch to nav-

igation mode:

Please insert DVD number <<xxxxx_xx>>.

To install the digital map:(Y page 420).

The navigation system must determine the position 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

Correct functioning of the navigation system depends, amongst other things, 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 multi-storey car parks.

The functionality of a roof aerial (telephone, GPS) may be impaired if roof carriers are used.

Entry restriction

For vehicles in certain countries, there is a data entry restriction.

The restriction is active above a vehicle speed of about 5 km/h. The restriction is deactivated as soon as the vehicle speed drops below about 3 km/h.

When the restriction is active, certain entries cannot be made. This will be indicated by the fact that certain menu items are greyed out and cannot be selected.

Introduction

An RDS-TMC radio station transmits RDSTMC traffic reports in addition to the radio programme. COMAND Online can receive RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them into consideration for dynamic (traffic-dependent) route guidance. The navigation system can, for example, guide you around a traffic jam.

Germany, COMAND Online uses high-qual-

In ity traffic data for the TMCpro traffic jam warning system. TMCPro provides exclusive traffic data that is detected with an automated sensor network, in addition to the messages generated by the TMC service. The traffic data received from the traffic jam warning services named above could differ.

There may also be differences between the traffic reports received and the actual road and traffic conditions.

The respective traffic data being received appears at the bottom right of the display with the symbols "TMCPro" or "TMC". If there is no reception, no symbol is displayed.

RDS-TMC is not available in all countries.

Problems with the navigation system

Problem Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions

421

COMAND Online is unable to continue route guidance after the journey has been interrupted.

Route guidance is cancelled if you interrupt the journey for more than two hours.

"Interrupting the journey" refers to stopping the vehicle.

"Continuing route guidance" refers to switching COMAND Online back on and driving on.

Continue route guidance (Y page 414).

Problem Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions

COMAND Online is unable to determine the vehicle's position.

COMAND Online has to redetermine the position of the vehicle if the vehicle has been transported.

Examples:

after transporting the vehicle by ferry

after transporting the vehicle by motorail

after the vehicle has been towed

Start the vehicle and pull away. COMAND Online determines the vehicle's position. Depending on the driving situation, this may take some time.

Route guidance may be restricted during the determination of the vehicle's position.

When positioning is complete, route guidance is resumed with navigation announcements and route guidance displays.

The following scenarios are possible:

Operation of two telephones:

A mobile phone is connected to COMAND Online as the COMAND Telephone. COMAND Online is generally used as a hands-free system here when making

calls. A call can be transferred to the business telephone in the rear compartment.

A second mobile phone is connected as a business telephone with the Rear Seat Entertainment System. With the business telephony option, a passenger in the rear compartment uses the handset when making calls. He can transfer the call to the COMAND telephone.

Both telephones can be used independently of each other.

Operation with one telephone

A mobile phone is either connected with COMAND Online as a COMAND telephone or with the Rear Seat Entertainment System as a business telephone. A call can be transferred from front to rear or from rear
