Safety notes
Risk of injury
COMAND is classified as Class 1 laser
product. You must not open the casing.
There is the risk of exposure to invisible
laser radiation if you open the casing, or if
the casing is faulty or damaged.
COMAND does not contain any parts that
can be serviced by the user. For safety
reasons, have any necessary
maintenance work carried out by qualified
after sales technicians only.
Risk of accident
Do the following only the vehicle is
stationary:
Loading the disc
Ejecting the disc
There is a risk of being distracted from the
road and traffic conditions if this is done
while vehicle is in motion.
Permissible discs
xCD-R and CD-RW
xDVD+R and DVD+RW
xDVD-R and DVD-RW
xPCMCIA-Card
Permissible file systems
xISO9660/Joliet for CD-data writer
xUDF for DVD-data writer
xFAT16 or FAT32 for PCMCIA-Cards
with storage medium
Multisession CDs
For multisession CDs, the content of the
first session determines ho COMAND will
process the CD.
If the first session contains data in audio
CD format, for example, and the second
session contains MP3 tracks, COMAND
will treat the CD as a conventional audio
CD. This means that it is not possible to
access the MP3 tracks.
If the first session contains MP3 tracks, for
example, and the second session contains
data in audio CD format, COMAND will
treat the CD as an MP3 file. This means
that it is not possible to access the audio
CD tracks.
When you create an MP3 discs, the MP3
tracks can be organized in folders. A folder
can also contain other folders. A disc can
contain a maximum of 255 folders.
Each folder can contain a maximum of 255
tracks and 255 folders. A disc can contain
a maximum of 4,000 tracks.
Track and file names
When you create an MP3 discs, you can
assign names to the MP3 tracks and
folders. COMAND uses these names for
the corresponding display in MP3 mode.
Empty folders or folders which contain data
other than MP3 tracks are not displayed by
COMAND.
If MP3 files are stored in the root directory
itself, the root directory will also be treated
as a folder. COMAND will then show the
name of the root directory as the folder
name.
You must observe the following when
assigning track names:
xTrack names must have at lease one
character.
xTrack names must have the extension
“mp3”
xThere must be a full stop between the
track name and the extension.
Example of a correct track name:

Do not use discs of 8cm diameter, even
with an adapter. Only use round discs
12cm in diameter.
Permissible bit and sampling rates
xFixed and variable bit rates from
32kBit/s to 320kBit/s
xSampling rate from 8kHz to 48kHz.
䂾i Only use MP3 tracks with a bit rate of
at least 128kBit/s and a sampling rate of
at least 44.1kHz. Smaller rates can cause
a noticeable deterioration in quality. This
is especially the case if you have
activated a surround sound function.
Notes on copyright
The music tracks that you create for MP3
mode and can play back in MP3 mode are
generally subject to copyright protection in
accordance with the applicable
international and national regulations.

Make sure that you know the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply
with these.
If you own these rights yourself, e.g. for
compatible with the CD audio standard
and therefore may not be able to be
played by COMAND.
There may be playback problems when
playing copied discs.
There is a large variety of discs,
disc-writing software and writers available.
This variety means that there is no
guarantee that the system will be able to
play discs that you have copied yourself.
There may be playback problems if you
play CDs that you have copied yourself
with a storage capacity of more than
700MB. These CDs are not compatible
with currently applicable standards.
!
Do not affix stickers or labels to the
discs, as they could peel off and damage
COMAND.
COMAND is designed to hold discs which
comply with the EN 60908 standard. You
can therefore only use discs with a
maximum thickness of 1.3mm.

Navigation system
Navigation system (introduction)
Safety Notes
Risk of accident
For safety reasons, only enter a new
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
You may 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:
xTraffic lights
xStop and give way signs
xParking or stopping prohibited signs
xLane narrowing
xOther road and traffic controls and
regulations.
Map software
The digital maps generated by the map
software become outdate in the same way
as conventional road maps. Optimum
route guidance can only be provided by
the navigation system in conjunction with
the most up-to-date map software.
Information about new map software
versions can be obtained from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
General Notes
GPS reception
Correct functioning of the navigation
system depends amongst other things on
GPS㩷reception. In certain situations,
GPS㩷reception may be impaired, there
may be interference or there maybe no
reception at all, e.g. in tunnels, in
multi-storey car parks or due to snow on
the GPS㩷aerial. If there is snow on the
GPS㩷aerial, you should remove it. The
GPS㩷aerial is at the back of the vehicle
roof.
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the reality does not
correspond to the data in the digital map.
For example, if the traffic routing has been
changed or the direction of a one-way road
has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic controls and
regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic controls and regulations always
have priority over the navigation
commands generated by the system.
䋨23䋯29䋩
Page 25
Navigation system
Root guidance after vehicle
transportation
COMAND has to redetermine the position
of the vehicle if the vehicle has been
transported.( e.g. by ferry, by motorail or
after towing).
positioning take place automatically even
when COMAND is switched off. The
duration will vary from on e case to
antoher.
Route guidance may be restricted as
follows during vehicle positioning:
xNavigation announcements, route
guidance displays and displayed street
names are not consistent with the actual
location of the vehicle.
xCOMAND does not generate navigation
announcements.
xInstead of the route guidance displays,㩷
you see the “Off road” display and an
arrow. The arrow shows the compass
heading to the destination.
When positioning is complete, route
guidance is resumed using navigation
announcements and route guidance
displays.
Interrupting the journey duration route
guidance
The following applies if you interrupt the
journey during route guidance and
continue the journey later on:
xCOMAND㩷resumes route guidance
automatically if you continue the journey
within 2 hours.
xRoute guidance is canceled if you
continue the journey after more than 2
hours. It will be necessary to resume the
canceled route guidance manually.
䂾i Interrupting the journey means
parking the vehicle and switching off
COMAND.
Hard disk errors
COMAND㩷has an integrated hard disk on
which the map software is stored.
If an area of the hard disk has an error,
COMAND can no longer access the map
data in this area, for example, when
calculating a route.
The “Navigation Unavailable. Please
observe the operating instructions”
message then appears.
¾To delete the message: switch
COMAND on and back on.
䂾
i
If you switch the navigation system
off/on, it will be operational again until it
has to access the faulty area of the hard
disk again.
The message will then appear again.
Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Center.
Units of measurement
The units of measurement in navigation
mode are identical to those set in the
instrument cluster.
Input restrictions
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 3km/h.
When the restriction is active it is not
possible to enter specific items, e.g.town
or road name.
You will be aware of this because certain
menu items cannot be selected.
