Operating Safety
G
Warning
Any alterations of electronic components or software can cause malfunctions.
Radio, satellite radio, amplifier, 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.
G
Warning
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.
G
Warning
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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
G
Warning
Change or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
!
Note: This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
G
Warning
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the 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). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 8 inches (20 cm) and more between the radiator and person's body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists feet and legs.)
Declaration of Conformity Regarding the Distribution of Telecommunications Equipment
Daimler AG declares herewith that this device conforms to the basic requirements and the other relevant regulations of Directive 1999/5/EC (RTTE Directive).
Intended Purpose
Please bear the following information in mind when using the COMAND:
R
The safety instructions in this guide
R
Road Traffic Regulations
i
Tampering with electronic components or systems (e.g. radio, DVD changer) and their software may result in malfunctioning. Systems which have not been changed may be affected due to the connectivity of the electronics. Malfunctions of the electronics can seriously endanger the operational safety of your vehicle.
i
Always have all work or modifications to electronic components carried out by a qualified specialist workshop with the necessary expertise and tools for any work required. Daimler AG recommends a Mercedes-Benz service center for this purpose. Especially for safety-related operations and operations on safety­related systems, servicing by a qualified specialist workshop is essential.
Function Restrictions When Driving the Vehicle
For safety reasons, some COMAND functions are restricted or not available when the vehicle is moving. This can be recognized, for example, from the fact that certain menu items cannot be selected or the COMAND displays a corresponding message.

Surround Sound
Your vehicle is equipped with the harman/ kardon LOGIC7® Surround Sound system. You can select between LOGIC7®off and LOGIC7®on.
harman/kardon LOGIC7® Surround Sound is available for the following operating modes:
R
Radio (FM only)
R
HD Radio
R
SatRadio
R
CD Audio
R
DVD Audio (MLP, DTS, PCM and Dolby Digital audio formats)
R
MP3 (including SD memory card)
R
AUX
R
DVD Video (PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital audio formats)
i
As some DVDs contain both stereo and multi-channel audio formats, it may be necessary to set the audio format (Y page 141).
i
The LOGIC7® on function of the harman/ kardon LOGIC7® Surround Sound system
allows playback of discrete 5.1 and stereo recordings with an optimum surround sound experience for each passenger. It enables optimum playback of music and films on CD or audio and video DVDs with high-resolution surround formats, such as MLP, DTS or Dolby Digital. For ideal sound
perception from all seats, LOGIC7
®
distributes the 5.1 surround information over the 12-channel architecture. This results in sound characteristics like those intended by the sound engineer when the original was recorded.
harman/kardon LOGIC7® converts each two-channel stereo sound source into
multi-channel surround sound. LOGIC7
®
reads the surround information stored during the original recording and

distributes it over the 12 channels. No effects are created during the process, anything that was always on the recording is just made audible again. In addition,
harman/kardon LOGIC7® moves the perceived sound source away from the loudspeakers and thereby generates a natural 360° sound experience for every passenger.
i
If you select LOGIC7® off, playback of all recognized formats is as it is on the medium. Due to the design of the passenger compartment, an optimum audio experience cannot be guaranteed for all passengers.

Please note the following:
R
For the optimum audio experience for all passengers when LOGIC7® is switched
on, the balance and fade should be set to the center of the passenger compartment.
R
You will achieve the best sound results by playing high-quality audio and video DVDs.
R
MP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at least 128 kbit/s.
R
Surround-sound playback does not work for mono signal sources, such as the AM waveband in radio mode.
R
If the radio reception is poor, e.g. in a tunnel, you should switch off LOGIC7

Introduction
Vehicle Equipment
i
This Operator’s Manual describes all features, standard or optional, potentially available for your vehicle at the time of purchase. Please be aware that your vehicle might not be equipped with all features described in this manual.
Safety Instructions
G
Warning
For safety reasons, only enter a destination when the vehicle is stationary. When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger should enter the destination. Study manual and select route before driving.
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.
COMAND calculates the route to the destination without taking account of the following:
R
Traffic lights
R
Stop and right-of-way-signs
R
Lane merging
R
Parking or stopping prohibited areas
R
Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R
Narrow bridges
G
Warning
COMAND may give incorrect navigation commands if the data in the digital map does not correspond with the actual road/traffic situation. Digital maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area. For example, if the traffic routing has been changed or the direction of a one-way road has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe applicable road and traffic rules and
regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the navigation commands generated by the system.
G
Warning
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 consulting the map display for directions. Consulting the symbols or map display for directions may cause you to divert your attention from driving and increase your risk of an accident.
Updating the Map Software
The digital data for the map software will become obsolete, just like conventional road maps. Optimum route guidance by the navigation system is only achieved with up­to-date map software. Information on new map software versions is available from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
You can have the map software updated there by means of a DVD or perform the update process yourself.
Notes on DVD Discs
R
Only touch the discs at the edges.
R
Handle the discs with care in order to prevent reading errors.
R
Avoid scratching, leaving fingerprints and dust on the discs.
R
Use a commercially available cleaning cloth to clean discs. Always wipe in a straight line from the inside outwards, never in a circular motion.
R
After use, put the discs back into the box.
R
Protect the discs from heat and direct sunlight.

Update Sequence
The sequence includes the following stages:
R
Loading DVD into the DVD changer
R
Update process
i
The update process may take between 60 and 150 minutes, depending on the size of the map software. If possible, perform the update when the vehicle is stationary. The DVD read speed is faster when the vehicle is stationary than when the vehicle is moving and the update therefore takes less time. If you perform the update with the engine off and the vehicle battery is no longer powerful enough, COMAND may shut off automatically during the process to protect the battery. In this case, restart the update with the engine running. You can interrupt the update process and continue it at later time. If you cancel the update process, the navigation system is not ready for operation.
G
Warning
Never leave the engine running in an enclosed space. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gases constitutes a health hazard and could lead to loss of consciousness or even death.

General Information
Operational Readiness of the Navigation System after the System Software Update
Sometimes the installed map software is no longer compatible following a system software update by an authorized Mercedes­Benz Center. In this case, the navigation system is not operational.
X
To update map software: Proceed as described in the “Update Process” section (Y page 49). Use map software compatible with the system software.
i
Please note that in this case the update must run through right to the end. If you cancel beforehand, the navigation system will still not be ready for operation.

Introduction
Navigation
Page 53
After start-up or initial start-up, the navigation system must perform a position finding operation. As a result, you may have to drive for some time until precise route guidance takes place.
GPS Reception
The correct functioning of the navigation system is also dependent on the GPS reception. In certain situations, the GPS reception may be impaired, distorted or even impossible, e.g. in tunnels, multi-storey car parks or due to snow on the GPS antenna. If there is snow on the GPS antenna, you should remove it. The GPS antenna is at the rear on the vehicle's roof.
Route Guidance after Vehicles Transport
After vehicle transport (e.g. by ferry, car train or by towing) COMAND must determine the vehicle location again.
Position finding takes place automatically when the vehicle is driven off again, even if COMAND is switched off. The actual length of time may vary from case to case.
While the vehicle is determining its position, route guidance is subject to the following restrictions:
R
Navigation announcements, route guidance displays and displayed street names do not match the actual location.
R
COMAND does not issue any navigation announcements.
R
The message Off Mapped Road and a direction arrow are displayed instead of the route guidance displays. The arrow indicates the direction of the destination.
i
Direction arrow accuracy is also dependent on correct vehicle position and/or direction.
Once the position finding operation has been completed, route guidance takes place again
via navigation announcements and route guidance displays.
Interrupting Journey during Route Guidance
i
An interruption in the journey means parking the vehicle and switching off COMAND. The continuation of the journey means switching COMAND on again and continuing to drive.
If interrupt the journey during route guidance and continue it later, the following applies:
R
If you continue the journey within 2 hours, COMAND automatically continues route guidance.
R
If you continue the journey after 2 hours, route guidance is cancelled. You will have to continue the cancelled route guidance again manually .
Hard Disk Drive
COMAND has an integrated hard drive on which the map software is stored.
If an area of the hard drive has a fault, COMAND can no longer access the map data in that area for the route calculation, for example.
The message Navigation Unavailable will then be displayed.
X
To delete message: Switch COMAND off and back on again.
i
After switching on/off, the navigation system will remain functional until it has to access the faulty area of the hard drive again. The message will be displayed again. Contact a Mercedes-Benz Service Center.

Route calculation takes some time. The length of time depends on, e.g. distance to the destination. COMAND calculates the route using the digital map data. The calculated route may deviate from the actual road situation, e.g. as a result of road works or incomplete map data. Please refer to the information on the digital map (Y page 59).

Route Guidance
General Notes
G
Warning
COMAND calculates the route to the destination without taking into account the following, for example:
R
Traffic lights
R
Stop and right-of-way signs
R
Lane merging
R
Parking or stopping prohibited areas
R
Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R
Narrow bridges
COMAND may give incorrect navigation commands if the data in the digital map does not correspond with the actual road/ traffic situation. For example, if the traffic routing has been changed or the direction of a one­way road has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe applicable road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the navigation commands generated by the system.
COMAND guides you to the destination by means of driving recommendations in the form of navigation announcements or route guidance displays.
i
The route guidance displays only appear if the display has been switched to navigation mode.
If, for some reason, you do not follow the navigation announcements or if you leave the calculated route, COMAND automatically calculates a new route to the destination.
If the map data contains corresponding information during route guidance, COMAND tries to avoid roads with limited passability, e.g. roads that are blocked for through-traffic and are for residents only.
Time restrictions of roads (e.g. blocked on Sundays and public holidays) are only taken
into account for route guidance if the digital map contains corresponding information during the blocked time periods.
Driving Maneuver
Driving maneuvers are given in three phases:

Off-road and Off-map
G
Warning
The COMAND navigation system may direct you to off-road routes that your vehicle may not be capable of traversing through without damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is the driver’s sole responsibility to determine the suitability of the route. Off-road routes may be of varying conditions and their appropriateness for use may be affected by various factors such as time of day, time of year and immediate weather conditions that cannot be judged or taken into consideration by the COMAND system.
Route Guidance to an Off-road Destination
COMAND can also guide you to destinations that are within the area covered by the digital
map, but are not themselves included on the map. Such destinations are off-road destinations, which you can enter, for example, by entering the destination via the map.
In this case, COMAND guides you on roads known to the system for as long as possible using navigation announcements and route guidance displays.

area with unreliable map data in xx miles is announced.
When the vehicle is entering the area that is not covered by the digital map, the screen is split. On the right half of the screen an arrow appears that points to the off-road destination 1 and the system announces:
Please follow the arrow on the display. When the vehicle comes close to the destination the message Destination region reached is given.
Route Guidance from an Off-road Location to a Destination

COMAND can guide you from such a position to a destination.
At the start of route guidance you will see the message Off Mapped Road, an arrow and the distance to the destination. The arrow indicates the direction of the actual destination.
The blue marking for the route on the map starts from the nearest road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is travelling again on a road known to the system, route guidance continues in the usual manner.
Route Guidance from an Off-map Location to a Destination
If the vehicle location is outside the area covered by the digital map, then the vehicle is in an off-map position. COMAND can guide you from such a position to a destination.
At the start of route guidance you will see the message Off Map, an arrow and the distance to the destination. The arrow indicates the direction of the actual destination.
The blue marking for the route on the map starts from the nearest road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is travelling again on a road known to the system, route guidance continues in the usual manner.
Off-road During Route Guidance
The actual path of the road may deviate from the data in the digital map due to road works.
In cases like this, the system is temporarily not able to locate the vehicle location on the digital map; the vehicle is thus in an off-road position.
The display then shows the message Off Mapped Road, an arrow and the distance to the destination. The arrow indicates the direction of the actual destination.
As soon as the vehicle location is found again, route guidance continues in the usual manner.
Navigation Announcements
G
Warning
Navigation announcements are intended to direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving.
