Important safety notes

WARNING
G
Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle while driving will distract you from traffic con­ditions. You could then lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con­ditions permit. If you are unsure about the surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe location and make entries only while the vehi­cle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating COMAND Online.
COMAND Online 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
road narrowing
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND Online 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 road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg­ulations always have priority over the sys­tem's driving recommendations.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only 50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of nearly 14 m per second.

Declarations of conformity

Wireless vehicle components

The following information applies to all com­ponents of the vehicle and the COMAND Online system which receive and/or transmit radio waves:
The components of this vehicle which receive and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with the basic requirements and other rele­vant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can obtain further information from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Electromagnetic compatibility

The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehi­cle components has been checked and certi­fied according to the currently valid version of Directive ECE-R 10.

Correct use

Observe the following information when using COMAND Online:
R

traffic rules and regulations
R
laws and safety standards pertaining to motor vehicles
i
Improper work on electronic components or other systems (e.g. 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.

(e.g. emergency aerial) in the vehicle inte­rior.
i
Only have work or changes to electronic components carried out at a qualified spe­cialist workshop. This workshop should have the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. In partic­ular, work relevant to safety or on safety­related 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.

Data stored in the vehicle

A number 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
events
R
faults
This technical information generally docu­ments the condition of a component, a mod­ule, a system or an environment.
These are, for example:
R
operating conditions of system compo­nents. This includes, e.g. fluid levels.
R
status messages from the vehicle and from individual vehicle components. This includes, e.g. number of wheel revolu­tions/speed, deceleration, lateral acceler­ation.
R
malfunctions and faults in important sys­tem components. This includes, e.g. lights, brakes.
R
reactions of the vehicle in special driving situations. This includes, e.g. deployment
of an airbag, intervention of stability control systems.
R
environmental conditions. This includes, e.g. the outside temperature.
This data is exclusively technical in nature and is used to:
R
assist in the detection and rectification of faults and defects
R
optimise vehicle functions
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's movements over distances travelled.
When your vehicle is serviced, this technical information can be read out from the event and fault memory.
Services include:
R
repairs
R
service processes
R
warranty claims
R
quality assurance
The information is read out by authorised employees of the service network (including manufacturers) using special diagnostic devi­ces. You can find more information there if necessary.
After a fault has been rectified, the informa­tion in the fault memory is deleted or consec­utively overwritten.
In normal vehicle operation, situations may arise in which this technical data could become personal in nature in conjunction with other information and, if necessary, on consultation of an approval official.
Examples include:
R
accident reports
R
vehicle damage
R
witness testimonies
Further additional features which are con­tractually agreed with the customer likewise allow specific vehicle data to be obtained from the vehicle. Such additional features include vehicle locating in an emergency, for example.

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 have 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.
Avoid using alcoholic thinners, petrol or abra­sive cleaning agents. These could damage the display surface.

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.
i
The Logic7® on function creates a sur­round sound experience for every passenger when playing stereo recordings, for example. 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 as the sound engineer intended when the original was recorded.

If you select Logic7® off, the sound sys-
tem plays the tracks as stored on the medium. Due to the design of the passenger compartment, an optimum audio experience cannot be guaranteed for all passengers.

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 "Navi" 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 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 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
You can only operate media from the driv­er's and front-passenger sides separately if the media are from different sources. Example: if a medium from the DVD changer is being played on the driver's side. Then, no other medium can be used sepa­rately on the front-passenger side that is also played from the DVD changer. How­ever, other media can be used at the same time on the front-passenger side, including radio, memory card, MUSIC REGISTER, Media Interface, USB or AUX.
R
If you use the same medium on both sides, you can both carry out the respective set­tings.
R
Internet use is only available at any one time to the driver or the front passenger.

Introduction

Important safety notes

WARNING
G

Navigation

Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle while driving will distract you from traffic con­ditions. You could then lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con­ditions permit. If you are unsure about the surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe location and make entries only while the vehi­cle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating COMAND Online.
COMAND Online 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
road narrowing
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND Online 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 road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg­ulations always have priority over the sys­tem's driving recommendations.

General notes

Operational readiness of the navigation system
In vehicles for certain countries, the naviga­tion system is not operational immediately after delivery. The digital map is not pre­installed.
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 digital map:(Y page 124).
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.
i
The functionality of a roof aerial (tele­phone, GPS) may be impaired if roof carri­ers are used.
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.
The following entries are not possible, for example:
R
entering the destination town and street
R
entering a destination via the map
R
entering POIs 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, however, such as entering POIs in the vicinity of the destination or current position.

If you change the route type and/or the route options while route guidance is active, COMAND Online will calculate a new route.
If you change the route type and/or the route options while route guidance is inac­tive, COMAND Online uses the new setting for the next route guidance.
Route guidance active: a destination has been entered and the route has been cal­culated.
Route guidance inactive: no destination has been entered yet and no route has been calculated yet.
You can select the following route types:
R
Fast route: COMAND Online calculates a
route with the shortest (minimised) journey time.
R
Dynamic route: same route type as Fast route. In addition, COMAND Online takes
into account any RDS-TMC traffic reports it receives during route guidance. The navi­gation system can help you avoid a traffic jam, for example. If a faster route is deter­mined due to a received RDS-TMC traffic announcement, the navigation system changes the route. If possible, it will bypass blocked roads.
R
Eco route: the Eco route (economical
route) is a variant of the Fast route type. COMAND Online will attempt to minimise the journey distance at the expense of a slightly increased journey time.
R
Short route: COMAND Online calculates
a route with the shortest possible (mini­mised) route distance.
i
RDS-TMC is not available in all countries.
i
The route calculated may, for example,
include ferry connections, even if the
Avoid ferries route option is switched
on.
In some cases, e.g. when calculating par­ticularly long routes, COMAND Online may not be able to take all the selected route options into account.
i
To avoid toll roads: route calculation is
performed excluding sections (e.g. tunnels, stretches of motorway, inner cities) which require you to pay a fee (toll).
To avoid routes requiring a special toll sticker: route calculation is performed
excluding route networks (e.g. a country's motorway network) which require you to pay a fee (vignette). A vignette allows tem­porary use of the route network. Example time limits are 10 days, 2 months or 1 year.

Route guidance

Important notes

COMAND Online 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
road narrowing
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND Online may give differing driving recommendations if the data on the digital map does not correspond to the actual con­ditions, such as if the road layout has 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 system driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been calculated (Y page 68).
COMAND Online guides you to your destina­tion by means of navigation announcements in the form of audible navigation announce­ments and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can 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 Online automatically calculates a new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding information, the following applies:
R
during route guidance, COMAND Online tries to avoid roads with restricted access. Those roads, for example, that are closed to through-traffic.
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.
