Welcome to the world of Mercedes-Benz
Before you drive off, familiarise yourself with your COMAND control panel and read this manual. This will help you to obtain the max­imum pleasure from your COMAND control panel and to avoid endangering yourself and others.
Depending on the model and equipment level, the functions and equipment of your COMAND control panel may deviate from some descriptions and illustrations.
Mercedes-Benz is constantly updating its sys­tems to the state of the art and therefore reserves the right to introduce changes in design, equipment and technical features at any time.
You cannot, therefore, base any claims on the data, illustrations or descriptions in this man­ual.
Please consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre if you have any questions.
This manual is an integral part of the vehicle. You should always keep it in the vehicle and pass it on to the new owner if you sell the vehicle.
The technical documentation team at Daimler AG wishes you safe and pleasant motoring.

Operating safety

General notes

Risk of accident
G
Your attention must always be focused on the traffic conditions.
Only use COMAND or the telephone when the road and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only 50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of nearly 14 m per second. The navigation sys­tem will not provide you with information about stop signs, give-way signs, traffic regu­lations or road safety features. It is up to you to pay attention to these while driving the vehicle. Only enter a new destination when the vehicle is stationary.
COMAND has a radio included as part of the audio functions.
This radio receiver is suitable for operation by all persons in accordance with the valid EC directive.
The device conforms to currently applicable European or harmonised national standards.
Therefore, adherence to the relevant specifi­cations for electromagnetic compatibility is guaranteed for this device.
As a result, interference caused by your equipment with other electrical/electronic equipment and interference with your equip­ment caused by other electrical/electronic equipment can be largely prevented.
The equipment is approved by the vehicle manufacturer in accordance with European Automotive EMC Directive 95/54/EC. There­fore, operation according to its intended pur­pose is approved for your vehicle. The equip­ment does not require certification.
It complies with device-specific EMC require­ments according to the following European standards:
R
EN 55013
R
EN 55020

Correct use

Observe the following information when using COMAND:
R

R
national road traffic regulations
i
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. Electronic malfunctions can seri­ously jeopardise the operational safety of your vehicle.
i
Only have work 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 required. Daimler recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this purpose. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related sys­tems must be carried out at a qualified spe­cialist workshop.
i
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 a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Cleaning instructions

!
Do not touch the COMAND 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 display must be switched off and cooled down before you start cleaning. Clean the display screen, when necessary, with a com­mercially available microfibre 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 microfibre cloth.

Surround sound

General notes
If your vehicle is equipped with the harman/ kardon® Logic 7® surround sound system, you can set the optimum surround sound in the vehicle interior.
The harman/kardon®Logic 7® surround sound system is available for the following operating modes:
R
radio (FM only)
R
DAB radio
R
audio CD
R
audio DVD (MLP, dts, PCM and Dolby Digi­tal audio formats)
R
MP3 (including SD memory card and USB storage device)
R
Media Interface
R
Bluetooth® audio mode
R
TV
R
video DVD (PCM, dts and Dolby Digital audio formats)
R
AUX
Because some DVDs contain both stereo and multichannel audio formats, it may be neces­sary to set the audio format (Y page 202).
i
The Logic7® on function creates a sur­round sound experience for every passenger when playing, for example, stereo recordings. It enables optimum play­back of music and films on CD, audio DVD or video DVD with multichannel audio for­mats, such as MLP, dts or Dolby Digital. This results in sound characteristics like those intended by the sound engineer when the original was recorded.
i
If you select Logic7® off, all permissible formats are played as stored on the medium. Due to the design of the passenger compartment, an optimum audio experience cannot be guaranteed for all passengers.
i
Discs which support the audio formats mentioned have the following logos:

To exit the menu without saving: press the % back button or slide XVY the COMAND controller.
i
Please note the following: for the opti­mum audio experience for all passengers when LOGIC7® is switched on, the balance and fader settings should be set to the centre of the vehicle interior.
You will achieve the best sound results by playing high-quality audio and video DVDs.
MP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at least 128 kbit/s.
Surround sound playback does not func­tion for mono signal sources, such as the medium wave range (MW) in radio mode.
If radio reception is poor, e.g. in a tunnel, you should switch off Logic 7®, as it may otherwise switch between stereo and mono and cause temporary sound distor­tions.
On some stereo recordings, the sound characteristics may differ from conven­tional stereo playback.

Introduction

Safety notes

Risk of accident
G
For safety reasons, only enter a new destina­tion when the vehicle is stationary. You may

Navigation system

otherwise be distracted from the traffic con­ditions, cause an accident and injure yourself and others.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina­tion without taking account of the following, for example:
R
traffic lights
R
stop and give way signs
R
parking or stopping restrictions
R
lane narrowing
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND may give incorrect driving recom­mendations if the data on the digital map does not correspond to the actual conditions. For example, a route may have been diverted or the direction of a one-way street may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe the respective road and traffic rules and regula­tions during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over system driving recommendations.

General notes

Operational readiness of the navigation system
In vehicles for certain countries, the naviga­tion system is not operational immediately after delivery because the digital map is not pre-installed.
If this is the case, the following message appears in the display after you switch to nav­igation mode:
Please insert the map DVD to acti‐ vate navigation.
X
To install the map software: proceed as described in the "Updating the digital map" section (Y page 107).
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
Correct functioning of the navigation system depends, amongst other things, on GPS reception. In certain situations, GPS recep­tion may be impaired, there may be interfer­ence or there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels or multi-storey car parks.
Entry restriction
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active above a vehicle speed of about 5 km/h. The restriction is deactiva­ted as soon as the vehicle speed drops below about 3 km/h.
When the restriction is active, certain entries cannot be made. This will be indicated by the fact that certain menu items are greyed out and cannot be selected.
Page 53
The following entries are not possible, for example:
R
entering the destination town and street
R
entering a destination via the map
R
entering special destinations in the vicinity of a town or via a name search
R
editing entries
R
direct entry using the number keypad
Other entries are possible, such as entering special destinations in the vicinity of the des­tination or current position.
Addresses can be entered via LINGUA­TRONIC (see separate Operating Instruc­tions) while the vehicle is in motion.

Navigation system
changes the route. If possible, it will bypass blocked roads.
R
Eco route: the Eco route (economic
route) is a variant of the Fast route route type. COMAND will attempt to minimise the journey distance at the expense of a slightly increased journey time.
R
Short route: COMAND calculates a route
with the shortest possible (minimised) route distance.

Route guidance

General notes

tions during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over system driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been calculated (Y page 56).
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:
R
when selecting a route, COMAND tries to avoid roads that only have limited access, e.g. roads closed to through traffic and non­residents.
R
roads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed on Sundays and public holidays) are considered for route guidance on days when they are open. For this purpose, the relevant times must be correctly stored in the database.

COMAND calculates the route to the destina­tion without taking account of the following, for example:
R
traffic lights
R
stop and give way signs
R
parking or stopping restrictions
R
lane narrowing
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND may give incorrect driving recom­mendations if the data on the digital map does not correspond to the actual conditions, e.g. the road layout has changed.
For this reason, you must always observe the respective road and traffic rules and regula-

Recording the route

Notes
If you have activated COMAND and the SD memory card has been inserted, you should not take it out of the slot.
When you record a route, COMAND uses so­called support points and displays the route as a series of lines. If the route is then calcu­lated, COMAND attempts to align the recor­ded route with the digital map.
The support points of the route may not be on a digitised road.
This is often the case with routes which are drawn up using other map data and imported via COMAND Online, e.g.:
R
routes from the Google™ special destina­tion search (Y page 165)
R
routes from the special destination down­load (Y page 168)

Route guidance to a destination that is not on a digitised road
COMAND can guide you to destinations which are within the area covered by the dig­ital map, but which are not themselves recor­ded on the map.

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 road message, an arrow and the dis- tance to the destination. The arrow shows the compass heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from the last recognised street the vehicle was on before it left the map.

At the start of the route guidance, you will see the Off road message, an arrow and the dis- tance 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 roadworks, 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 road mes- sage, an arrow and the distance to the desti­nation. The arrow shows the compass head­ing to the last road you were driving on.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle position to the map again, route guidance continues in the usual way.
Dynamic route guidance

Introduction

An RDS-TMC radio station transmits RDS­TMC traffic reports in addition to the radio programme. COMAND can receive the RDS­TMC traffic reports and take them into con­sideration for dynamic (traffic-dependent) route guidance. The navigation system can, for example, guide you around a traffic jam.
In Germany, COMAND uses the high-quality traffic data from T-systems Traffic for the TMCPro traffic jam warning system. In con­trast to the public TMC service, TMCPro uses exclusive traffic data that is detected with an automated sensor network, in addition to the messages generated by the TMC service. The traffic data received from the traffic jam warn­ing services named above could differ.
There may also be differences between the traffic reports received and the actual road and traffic conditions.
The respective traffic data being received appears at the bottom right of the display with the symbols "TMCPro" or "TMC". If there is no reception, no symbol is displayed.

Switching dynamic route guidance on/off

X
To switch on: set Dynamic route as the route type6(Y page 52).
X
To switch off: select the Fast route or
Short route route type (Y page 52).
i
COMAND calculates a new route if you change the route type setting with route guidance active. If you change the route type setting when route guidance is inac­tive, COMAND uses the new setting for the next route guidance.

RDS-TMC displays on the map

COMAND can show certain traffic incidents on the map. These displays can be seen on map scales 50 m (0.05 miles) to 20 km (20 miles).
X
To set the map scale: turn cVd the COMAND controller until the desired map scale is set. Turning clockwise zooms out from the map; turning anti-clockwise zooms in.
