Introduction
Operating Safety
Operating Safety
Warning
G
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.
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.
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.
Warning
G
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.
Warning
G
This transmitter must not be co-located or
operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or tranmitter.

Introduction
Operating Safety
Warning
G
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.)
