Symbols

Operator’s Manual:
* The asterisk identifies optional
equipment. Since not all models
have the same standard equipment, your COMAND system’s
equipment may deviate from
some descriptions and illustrations.
This symbol points to instruc-
tions for you to follow.
A number of these symbols ap-
pearing in succession indicates
a multiple-step procedure.
This continuation symbol marks
an interrupted procedure which
will be continued on the next
page.
page This symbol tells you where to
look for further information on
this subject.
-> This symbol is used in the glos-
sary. It indicates that the term

Introduction
Operating safety
Operating safety
Warning G
Any alterations made to electronic components and the software can cause malfunctions.
The radio, amplifier, satellite radio*,
CD changer*, navigation module*, telephone* and voice control system* are interconnected. Therefore, when one of the
components is not operational or has not
been removed/ replaced properly, the function of other components may be impaired.
This condition might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you 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 with the vehicle at a standstill and operate the system only when road,
weather and traffic conditions permit.
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 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, including
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. This always remains your personal responsibility
when you drive. DVD maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes within an area.
