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.)

the safety notes in this manual
R
traffic rules and regulations
R
laws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles
Roof antenna functionality (telephone, 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.
Protection against theft: this device is
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
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
movement, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal position
R
malfunctions and defects in important system components, e.g. lights, brakes
R
malfunctions in important system components. e.g. lights, brakes
Z
Operating safety
16
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
assist in recognizing and rectifying malfunctions
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.

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 COMAND 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.

SPLITVIEW
Method of operation
SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the frontpassenger side and on the driver's side. Different content is seen depending on your perspective when viewing the display.
The navigation function, for example, can be
used from the driver's side while a video is
watched from the front-passenger side.
SPLITVIEW is operated with the COMAND
remote control from the front-passenger
side.
To do so, use the special radio headphones.
Using the headphones on the correct sides
ensures an optimal sound.
You can connect your own headphones to a
special headphones jack. You can use the
COMAND remote control to operate them.
Points to remember
R
You can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the headphones.
R
Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW.
R
Videos cannot be shown on the driver's
side while the vehicle is in motion.
R
If media from different sources are used,
these can be used separately from the driver's and front-passenger sides. Example: if
a medium from the DVD changer is being
played on the driver's side, then another
medium that is also played from the DVD
changer cannot be played separately on
the front-passenger side. However, other
media can be used on the front-passenger
side at the same time, including the radio,
memory card, MEDIA REGISTER, Media
Interface, USB or AUX.
R
If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective settings. The "last one wins" principle applies

here, i.e. the last setting activated is

R
The Internet can be separately used by both

R
Internet can only be used if it is set and
connected via a mobile phone on the driver's side.

The multifunction steering wheel can only
