Introduction
Operation - MCS and telephone
G Warning!
In order to avoid distractions which could lead to
an accident, system settings should be entered with
the vehicle at standstill and the system should be
operated by the driver only when traffic conditions
permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 m.p.h.
(approximately 50 km/h), your car is covering a
distance of 50 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
MCS navigation supplies you with information to help
you select your route more easily and guides you conveniently and safely to your destination. For safety’s sake,
you should not use some of the functions, such as entering the destination, unless your vehicle is stationary
(electronic key in the steering lock at position 1).
The navigation system does not supply any informations on stop signs, yield signs, traffic regulations or
traffic safety rules or changes in roads. This always
remains your personal responsibility.

Operation safety
G Warning!
Any alterations made to electronic components and
the software can cause malfunctions.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer and telephone are
interconnected. Therefore, when one of the components is not operating properly or has not been
repaired , it may impair the function of other components.
This condition might seriously impair the operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service work or
alternations to electronic components done in an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Before you use the telephone
G Wa rning !
Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a
built-in or attached antenna (i.e. without being connected to an external antenna) from inside the
vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so could
lead to a malfunction of the vehicle’s electronic systems, possibly resulting in an accident and personal injury.
Please be sure to pay attention to the traffic situation at all times. Use the mobile cellular telephone
only when the traffic situation allows.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from using a
cellular telephone while driving a vehicle. Whether
or not prohibited by law, for safety reasons, the
driver should not use the cellular telephone while
the vehicle is in motion. Stop the vehicle in a safe
location before answering or placing a call.
Radio transmitters, such as portable telephone or a citizens band radios should only be used inside the vehicle
if they are connected to an antenna that is installed on
the outside of the vehicle.

• Please read this section first before attempting to
operate the telephone.
• Always drive with extreme caution when operating
the telephone in the hands-free mode.
• For your safety, do not use the handset for telephoning while you are driving.
• Close the windows and reduce all outside noise as
much as possible when you use hands-free operation.
• If the signal strength is very weak (display in the
symbol field of the audio menus) you should not
make telephone calls. Wait until reception improves.
• A brief disconnection from the provider network is
not a malfunction. The telephone will try to log into
a network again on its own.
• If you have locked the phone, you must enter the
unlock code to be able to use all of the telephone
functions. If you do not enter the unlock code you
can only use the emergency number programmed
into memory location 1 (default is 9-1-1). To enter
the unlock-code, see page 66.

Notes
Before you use the navigation system
G Wa rning !
During route guidance, you will not receive any
information on traffic lights, stop or yield signs, no
parking or no stopping zones, one-way streets, narrow bridges and similar traffic regulation data.
Please always strictly observe traffic regulations
while driving. Traffic regulations always have priority over any route recommendations given. Study
the manual and select route before driving, do not
watch display screen or operate buttons while the
vehicle is in motion - let voice notifications guide
you. Stop at a safe location before using buttons or
correcting screen. Drive carefully and always obey
traffic laws and road signs even if they contradict
system instructions.
For your safety you should only enter destinations
when the vehicle is stationary. When the vehicle is
in motion, a passenger should enter the destination.
82
G Wa rnin g!
The CD reader contains a Class 1 laser product.
There is a danger of invisible laser radiation if the
cover is opened or damaged.
Do not remove the cover. The CD reader does not
contain any parts which can be serviced by the
user. For safety reasons, have any service work
which may be necessary performed only by qualified personnel.
Page 85
However navigation is only possible while a navigation
CD is inserted in the single CD player.
The data stored on the original navigation CD is used for
route calculation. Using another CD might lead to malfunctions.
Because of changes in local traffic patterns and/or
incomplete data, errors in calculation may occur.
In this case, the recommended trip may deviate from
the available traffic pattern, because the data information stored on the CD represents the local conditions at
the time of the recording.
The current vehicle position cannot be displayed exactly
in every case. Satellite reception conditions, road conditions, the conditions of the vehicle, etc. could cause
deviations from the actual situation.
If the vehicle has been transported by a car, train or
ferry, MCS will require some time to find its exact position. In these cases it is often sufficient to move the
vehicle a few yards to receive a complete route recommendation.

Notes
The reception of GPS signals can be unreliable or at
times even impossible:
• When driving between tall buildings, in parking
garages or tunnels, when obstructed by large vehicles and similar structures.
• During electrical storms or very heavy rain.
• Satellites may be switched off for checking or repair.
84
Changing tires:
After changing the tires it may take some time for MCS
to adjust to the new measurement of the tires. In these
cases it is often sufficient to move the vehicle a few
yards to receive a complete route recommendation.
Travelling abroad:
If you intend to travel through different regions or
abroad you will need the respective CD. Contact your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center to purchase a CD.
Remove the actual Navigation CD when you leave a
region or cross the border and insert the Navigation CD
for the region or country you travelling through.
