In particular, systems relevant to safety could also be affected. As a result, these may no longer function as intended and/or jeopardize the operating safety of the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an accident and injury.

Never tamper with the wiring as well as electronic components or their software. You should have all work to electrical and electronic equipment carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

If you make any changes to the vehicle electronics, the general operating permit is rendered invalid.

WARNING

If you operate information systems and communication equipment integrated in the vehicle while driving, you will be distracted from traffic conditions. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.

Only operate the equipment when the traffic situation permits. If you are not sure that this is possible, park the vehicle paying attention to traffic conditions and operate the equipment when the vehicle is stationary.

You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating COMAND.

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

traffic lights

stop and yield signs

merging lanes

parking or stopping in a no parking/no stopping zone

Introduction

other road and traffic rules and regulations

narrow bridges

COMAND can give incorrect navigation commands if the actual street/traffic situation does not correspond with the digital map's data. Digital maps do not cover all areas nor all routes in an area. For example, a route may have been diverted or the direction of a oneway 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.

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. Looking at the icons or map display can distract you from traffic conditions and driving, and increase the risk of an accident.

Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h) your vehicle covers a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) per second.

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 8inches (20cm) and more between the radiator and a person's body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and legs.)

the safety notes in this manual

traffic rules and regulations

laws and safety standards pertaining to motor vehicles

Roof antenna functionality (telephone, satellite radio, GPS) can be affected by the use of roof carrier systems.

Attaching metalized retrofit film to the windshield may affect radio reception and have a negative impact on all other antennas (e.g. emergency antenna) in the vehicle interior.

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 an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Qualified specialist workshop

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

Function restrictions

For safety reasons, some functions are restricted or unavailable while the vehicle is in motion. You will notice this, for example, because either you will not be able to select certain menu items or a message will appear to this effect.

Data stored in the vehicle

Data recording

This vehicle is capable of recording diagnostic information relating to vehicle operation, malfunctions, and user settings. This may include information about the performance or status of various systems, including but not limited to, engine, throttle, steering or brake systems, that is stored and can be read out with suitable devices, particularly when the vehi-

Page 17

Introduction

cle is serviced. The data obtained is used to properly diagnose and service your vehicle or to further optimize and develop vehicle functions.

COMAND/mbrace

If the vehicle is equipped with COMAND or mbrace, additional data about the vehicle’s operation, the use of the vehicle in certain situations, and the location of the vehicle may be compiled through COMAND or the mbrace system.

For additional information please refer to the COMAND User Manual and/or the mbrace Terms and Conditions.

Event data recorders

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as during air bag deployment or when hitting a road obstacle. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

how various systems in your vehicle are operating

whether or not the driver and passenger seat belts are fastened

how far (if at all) the driver is depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal and

how fast the vehicle is traveling

This data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g. name, gender, age, and

crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, can combine the EDR data with the type of personal identification data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties that have the special equipment, such as law enforcement, can read the information by accessing the vehicle or the EDR.

EDR data may be used in civil and criminal matters as a tool in accident reconstruction, accident claims, and vehicle safety. Since the Crash Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract data from the EDR is commercially available, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC ("MBUSA") expressly disclaims any and all liability arising from the extraction of this information by unauthorized Mercedes-Benz personnel.

MBUSA will not share EDR data with others without the consent of the vehicle owners or, if the vehicle is leased, without the consent of the lessee. Exceptions to this representation include responses to subpoenas by law enforcement; by federal, state or local government; in connection with or arising out of litigation involving MBUSA or its subsidiaries and affiliates; or, as required by law.

Warning: The EDR is a component of the Supplemental Restraint System ("SRS") Module. Tampering with, altering, modifying or removing the EDR component may result in a malfunction of the SRS Module and other systems.

State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that conflict with federal regulation are pre-empted. This means that in the event of such conflict, the federal regulation governs. As of February 2013, 13 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.

Navigation

Introduction

Important safety notes

WARNING

Navigation announcements are intended to direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving.

General notes

Operational readiness of the navigation system

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.

You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating COMAND.

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

traffic lights

stop and yield signs

merging lanes

parking or stopping in a no parking/no stopping zone

other road and traffic rules and regulations

narrow bridges

GPS reception

Among other things, correct functioning of the navigation system depends 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 parking garages.

Using roof carriers may impair the correct

functioning of a roof antenna (phone, satellite radio, GPS).

Page 57

Using car pool lanes

You can include carpool lanes (HOV or car sharing lanes) in the route calculation.

If you use HOV or carpool lanes, please observe the applicable laws as well as the local and time limitation conditions.

Carpool lanes may only be used under certain conditions. They can normally be used when there are two people in the vehicle. However, there are also carpool lanes which can only be used when there are three or more people in the vehicle. In California, single drivers may also use the carpool lanes if the vehicle's emission or consumption values are below the prescribed levels.

Carpool lanes may be reserved for specific times (e.g. during the peak period).

Carpool lanes are indicated by a diamond symbol on specific road signs and on the road surface. The road signs may also include the designation CARPOOL. The lanes are arranged as a separate lane next to the others or are built as a physically separate lane.

Depending on the setting under Number ofNumber of

Occupants in the Vehicle:Occupants in the Vehicle:, COMAND

You can save the imported destinations and routes as personal POIs and routes (Y page 74).

When importing routes, please note:

The Mercedes-Benz Apps may generate a route based on a different map from the one used by COMAND. Points on the route may therefore be situated off the digital roads. For this reason an imported route commenced in COMAND may deviate from the original route from the Mercedes-Benz Apps.

The Mercedes-Benz Apps minimize the number of route points offered. For this reason an imported route commenced in

Route guidance

General notes

Always observe the traffic regulations when driving. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over system driving recommendations.

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

traffic lights

stop and yield signs

parking or stopping restrictions

road narrowing

temporary traffic rules and regulations

COMAND may give differing navigation commands if the actual street/traffic situation does not correspond with the digital map's data. For example, if the road layout or the direction of a one-way street has been changed.

Route guidance begins once a route has been calculated (Y page 61).

COMAND guides you to your destination by means of navigation announcements in the form of audible navigation announcements and route guidance displays.

Navigation messages guide you during the journey without distracting you from traffic conditions or driving. Please always use this feature instead of consulting the map display for directions. The symbols or the map display could distract you from traffic conditions and driving.

The route guidance displays can be seen if the display is switched to navigation mode.

If 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 digital map contains the corresponding information, the following applies:

during route guidance, COMAND tries to avoid roads with restricted access. Those roads, for example, that are closed to through-traffic.

roads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed on Sundays and public holidays) are considered for route guidance on days when they are open. For this purpose, the relevant times must be correctly stored in the database.

Change of direction

Overview

Changes of direction have three phases:

preparation phase

announcement phase

change-of-direction phase

Changes in direction are also shown in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).

Preparation phase

COMAND prepares you for the upcoming change of direction, e.g. with the announcement "Prepare to turn right". You see the fullscreen map.

Off-road

General notes

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. The status and navigability of off-road routes may be influenced by various factors such as time of day, time of year and current weather conditions. The COMAND system is unable to assess these factors or take them into consideration.

Route guidance to an off-road destination

COMAND can guide you to destinations which are within the area of the digital map, but which are not themselves on the map.

These destinations are known as off-road destinations, which you can enter using the map, for example. In these cases, COMAND guides you for as long as possible with navigation announcements and displays on roads known to the system.

If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part of the digital map, the display appears as a

Page 86

Real-time traffic reports

split-screen view. On the right, an arrow appears that points to the off-road destination. You hear the announcement: "Please follow the arrow on the display". As the vehicle approaches the destination, you will see a display to this effect.

Route guidance from an off-road location to a destination

Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on the digital map, but the map does not contain any information about that location. COMAND is able to guide you to a destination even from an off-road location.

At the start of route guidance, you will see the

Navigation

Road Not MappedRoad Not Mapped message, an arrow and

the distance to the destination. The arrow shows the compass heading to the actual destination.

As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known to the system, route guidance continues in the usual way.

Off-road during route guidance

Due to road works, for example, there may be differences between the data on the digital map and the actual course of the road.

In such cases, the system will temporarily be unable to locate the vehicle position on the digital map. The vehicle is therefore in an offroad position.

In the display, you will then see the RoadRoad NotNot

MappedMapped message, an arrow and the distance

to the destination. The direction arrow shows the compass heading to the destination.

As soon as the system can assign the vehicle position to the map again, route guidance continues in the usual way.

Real-time traffic reports

In order to receive real-time traffic reports via satellite radio, you need to subscribe to SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio Traffic Message Service.

Further information on satellite radio (Y page 162).

COMAND can receive traffic reports via satellite radio and take account of these for route guidance in the navigation system. Received traffic reports are displayed on the map either as text or as symbols.

Real-time traffic reports on the map

COMAND can show certain traffic messages on the map with symbols (type of incident) and color lines (extent). Traffic reports are shown on the map at scales of 1/32 mi to 10 mi.

When : is displayed, traffic reports can be received or traffic reports are available. If it is not displayed, no reception is possible.

Updating the digital map

Introduction

The digital maps generated by the map software become outdated in the same way as conventional road maps. Optimal route guidance can only be provided by the navigation system in conjunction with the most up-todate map software.

Information about new versions of the digital map can be obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. You can have the digital map updated there using a data medium, or you can update it yourself.

Problems with the navigation system

Problem

COMAND does not resume route guidance after the journey has been interrupted.

Problem

COMAND is unable to

Navigation

determine the vehicle's position.

Possible causes/consequences and MM Solutions

Route guidance is canceled 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 back on and driving on.

Continue route guidance manually (Y page 81).

Possible causes/consequences and MM Solutions

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

Example:

After transporting the vehicle by ferry

After transporting the vehicle by motorail

Start the vehicle and pull away. COMAND 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.

Problem

The digital map is not compatible with the vehicle software.

Problem

COMAND asks for an activation code during the map update.

Possible causes/consequences and MM Solutions

The data medium containing the digital map cannot be used for the update.

To confirm the message: press the controller.

Remove the data medium.

Have the data medium checked at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Possible causes/consequences and MM Solutions

The digital map is secured with an activation code.

Consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
