Important safety notes
WARNING
G
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other networked components. 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
G
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:
R
traffic lights
R
stop and yield signs
R
merging lanes
R
parking or stopping in a no parking/no
stopping zone
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
R
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.)
Declarations of conformity
Vehicle components which receive
and/or transmit radio waves
USA only: The wireless devices of this
i
vehicle comply with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause interference, and
2) These devices must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
Canada only: The wireless devices of this
i
vehicle comply with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause interference, and
2) These devices must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Operating safety
Roof antenna functionality (telephone,
i
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.
Therefore, have all work on or modifica-
i
tions to electronic components carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. This
workshop should have the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for this purpose. In
particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
Protection against theft: this device is
i
equipped with technical provisions to protect it against theft. Further information on
protection against theft can be obtained
from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Data stored in the vehicle
15
Correct use
Observe the following information when using
COMAND:
R
the safety notes in this manual
R
traffic rules and regulations
R
laws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles
Work improperly carried out on electronic
i
components or systems (e.g. radio, DVD
changer) and associated software could
cause them to cease functioning. Even systems that have not been modified could be
affected because the electronic systems
are connected. Electronic malfunctions
can seriously jeopardize the operational
safety of your vehicle.
A wide range of electronic components in
your vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or permanently store technical information about:
R
The vehicle's operating state
R
Incidents
R
Malfunctions
In general, this technical information documents the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
R
operating conditions of system components, e.g. fluid levels
R
the vehicle's status messages and those of
its individual components, e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in
Z
Operating safety
16
movement, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal position
R
malfunctions and defects in important system components, e.g. lights, brakes
R
vehicle reactions and operating conditions
in special driving situations, e.g. air bag
deployment, intervention of stability control systems
R
ambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
R
assist in recognizing and rectifying malfunctions and defects
R
analyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an accident
R
optimize vehicle function
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical information can be read from the event data memory and malfunction data memory.
Services include, for example:
R
repair services
R
service processes
R
warranties
R
quality assurance
It is read by employees of the service network
(including manufacturers) using special diagnostic devices. More detailed information is
obtained from it, if required.
After a malfunction has been rectified, the
information is deleted from the malfunction
memory or is continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are
conceivable in which this technical data, in
connection with other information (if necessary, under consultation with an authorized
expert), could be traced to a person.
Examples include:
R
accident reports
R
damage to the vehicle
R
witness statements
Further additional functions that have been
contractually agreed upon with the customer
allow certain vehicle data to be conveyed by
the vehicle as well. The additional functions
include, for example, vehicle location in case
of an emergency.
Qualified specialist workshop
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual.

Cleaning instructions
Do not touch the display. The display has
!
a very sensitive high-gloss surface; there is
a risk of scratching. If you have to clean the
screen, however, use a mild cleaning agent
and a soft, lint-free cloth.
The display must be switched off and have
cooled down before you start cleaning. Clean
the display screen, when necessary, with a
commercially available microfiber cloth and
cleaning agent for TFT/LCD displays. Do not
apply pressure to the display surface when
cleaning it, as this could cause irreversible
damage. Then, dry the surface with a dry
microfiber cloth.
Avoid using alcoholic thinners, gasoline or
abrasive cleaning agents. These could damage the display surface.
