you have any questions about the operation of any equipment, your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center will be glad to demonstrate the proper procedures.
We continuously strive to improve our product and ask for your understanding that
we reserve the right to make changes in
design and equipment. Therefore, information, illustrations and descriptions in this
manual might differ from the equipment installed in your vehicle. As such, the information, illustrations and descriptions
contained in this manual may not be reasonably relied upon in making any claims
with respect to the actual performance of

passed on to the new owner if the vehicle
is sold.
We extend our best wishes for many miles
of safe, pleasurable driving.

Operating safety
Introduction
Operating safety
WarningG
Any alterations made to electronic components and the software can cause malfunctions.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer, telephone* and voice control system* are interconnected. Therefore, when one of the
components is not operational or has not
been removed/replaced properly, the function of other components may be impaired.
This condition might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service
work on electronic components carried out
by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
WarningG
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, system settings should
be entered with the vehicle at a standstill
and system should be operated by the driver
only when road and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car is covering a distance of 50 feet (approximately
14 m) 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.
While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including
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. This always remains your personal responsibility
when you drive. CD maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes within an area.
