Operating safety
General notes
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 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a
distance of 44feet (approximately 14m) 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
interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
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 Adigital device, pursuantto 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 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

Improper work on electronic components
or other systems (such as radio, DVD
changer) and their software may result in
malfunction or failure. Even systems that
have not been modified could be affected
because the electronic systems are
connected. Electronics malfunctions can
seriously compromise the operational
safety of your vehicle.
i
Only have repairs or changes to electronic
components carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work. Daimler 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.

Vehicle equipment
These Operating Instructions describe all
standard and optional equipmentavailable
for your vehicle at the time of going to print.
Country-specificdifferences are possible.
Please note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all features described. This
includes safety-related systems and
functions.The equipment in your vehicle may
therefore differ from some of the descriptions
or illustrations. The original purchase
agreement for your vehicle lists all systems
installed in your vehicle. Information on the
equipment or its operation is available at any
authorized Mercedes-BenzCenter.
Function restrictions
