not installed in your vehicle. If you have
any questions about the operation of any
equipment, your authorized MercedesBenz Center will be glad to demonstrate
the proper procedures.
We continuously strive to improve our

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, satellite radio*,
CD changer*, navigation module* and telephone* 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, the driver should enter
system settings with the vehicle at a standstill and operate the system only when road,
weather and traffic conditions permit.
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 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.
WarningG
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. DVD maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes within an area.
