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

Vehicle equipment
i
These Operating Instructions describe all standard and optional equipment available for your vehicle at the time of purchase. Please note thatyour vehicle may not be equipped with all features described.
Introduction
Safety notes
G
Warning
For safety reasons, only enter a destination when the vehicle is stationary. When the vehicle is in motion, apassenger should enter the destination.Study manual and select route before driving.
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 calculates the routeto the destination without taking account of the following:
R
Traffic lights
R
Stop and right-of-way-signs
R
Lane merging
R
Parking or stopping prohibited areas
R
Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R
Narrow bridges
G
Warning
COMAND may give incorrect navigation commands if the data in the digital map does not correspond with the actual road/traffic situation. Digital maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area. For example, if the traffic routing has been changed or the direction of a one-way road has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe applicable road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands generated by the system.
G
Warning
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. Consulting the symbols or map display for directions may cause you to divert your attention from driving and increase your risk of an accident.
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.
GPS reception
Among other things, correct functioning of the navigation system depends on GPS reception.Incertain 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.
Input restriction
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active above a vehicle speed of about 3mph. The restriction is deactivated as soon as the vehicle speed drops below about 2mph.
When the restriction is active, certain entries cannot be made. This will be indicated by the fact that certain menu items are grayed out and cannot be selected.

Route guidance
General notes
G
Warning
COMAND calculates the route to the destination without taking into account the following, for example:
R
Traffic lights
R
Stop and right-of-way signs
R
Lane merging
R
Parking or stopping prohibited areas
R
Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R
Narrow bridges
COMAND may give incorrect navigation commands if the data in the digital map does not correspond with the actual road/ traffic situation. For example, if the traffic routing has been changed or the direction of a one­way road has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe applicable road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the navigation commands generated by the system.
Route guidance begins once aroute has been calculated (Y page 54).
COMAND guides you to your destination by means of navigation commands in the form of audible navigation announcements and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can only 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:

Warning
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. Off-road routes may be of varying conditions and their appropriateness for use may be affected by various factors such as time of day, time of year and immediate weather conditions that cannot be judged or takeninto consideration by the COMAND system.
Route guidance to a destination that is not on a digitized road
COMAND can guide you to destinations which are withinthe area covered by the digital map, but which are not themselves recorded 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.
Example display:route guidance to an off-road destination

If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part of the digital map, the display appears as a split-screen view. On the right-hand side, an arrow appears which points to off-road destination :.You will hear the announcement:"Please follow the arrow on the display".As the vehicle approaches the destination, the Area of destination reached message appears.
Route guidance from an off-road location to adestination
If the vehicle position is within the area covered by the digital map, but the map does not contain any information about that location, the vehicle is in an off-road location. COMAND is also able to guide you to a destination even from an off-road location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see the Off Mapped Road message, an arrow and the distance to thedestination. The arrow shows the compass heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from the last recognized street the vehicle was on before it left the map.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known to the system, route guidance continues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map location to adestination
If the vehicle position is outside the area covered by the digital map, then the vehicle is in an off-map location.COMAND is also able to guide you to a destination even from an off-map location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see the Off Mapped Road message, an arrow and the distance to the destination. The arrow shows the compass heading to the road left last.
The route is highlighted blue from the nearest road known to the system.
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 construction work, 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 and thus considers the vehicle to be in an off-road position.
In the display, you will see the Off Mapped Road message, an arrow and the distance to the destination. The arrow shows the compass heading to the actual destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle position to the map again, route guidance continues in the usual way.
