Please make yourself familiar with your
COMAND control unit and read the instructions in this manual before operating the
COMAND system. This will help you derive
a greater benefit from the system. Please
also follow the instructions and warnings
contained in this manual. Ignoring them
could result in damage to the vehicle or
personal injury to you or others.
The asterisk* identifies optional equipment. Depending on model, version and
configuration, your COMAND system
equipment may differ. Therefore, you may
find explanations for optional equipment
not installed in your vehicle. If you have
any questions about the operation of any
equipment, your authorized MercedesBenz Center will be glad to demonstrate
the proper procedures.
We continuously strive to improve our product and ask for your understanding that
we reserve the right to make changes in
design and equipment. Therefore, information, illustrations and descriptions in this
manual might differ from the equipment installed in your vehicle. As such, the information, illustrations and descriptions
contained in this manual may not be reasonably relied upon in making any claims
with respect to the actual performance of
the product.
These operating instructions form an integral part of the vehicle and should therefore always be kept inside the vehicle and
passed on to the new owner if the vehicle
is sold.
We extend our best wishes for many miles
of safe, pleasurable driving.

Introduction
Operating safety
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 mp/h (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 in-
terference, and
(2) This device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

Introduction
Operating safety
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 transmitter must not be co-located or
operated in conjunction with any other antenna or tranmitter.
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
DaimlerChrysler 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:
앫
The safety instructions in this guide
앫
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.
DaimlerChrysler recommends a Mercedes-Benz
Service centre for this purpose.
Especially for safety-related operations and operations on safety-related systems, servicing by
a qualified specialist workshop is essential.
Introduction
Operating safety
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.
