Welcome to COMAND!
Please make yourself familiar with your
COMAND control unit and read the instruc-
tions in this manual before operating the
COMAND system. This will help you derive
a greater benefit from the system. Please
also follow the instructions and warnings
contained in this manual. Ignoring them
could result in damage to the vehicle or
personal injury to you or others.
The asterisk* identifies optional equip-
ment. Depending on model, version and

not installed in your vehicle. If 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 pro-
duct and ask for your understanding that
we reserve the right to make changes in
design and equipment. Therefore, informa-
tion, illustrations and descriptions in this
manual might differ from the equipment in-
stalled in your vehicle. As such, the infor-
mation, illustrations and descriptions
contained in this manual may not be reaso-
nably relied upon in making any claims
with respect to the actual performance of
the product.
These operating instructions form an inte-
gral part of the vehicle and should there-
fore always be kept inside the vehicle and
passed on to the new owner if the vehicle
is sold.
We extend our best wishes for many miles
of safe, pleasurable driving.

equipment. Since not all models
have the same standard equip-
ment, your COMAND system equip-
ment may deviate from some
descriptions and illustrations.This symbol points to instructions for
you to follow. A number of these sym-
bols appearing in succession indicates
a multiple-step procedure.
The continuation symbol
marks an interrupted proce-
dure which will be continued
on the next page.
(
page 9) This symbol tells you where
to look for further infor-
mation on this subject.

9 Introduction
Operating safety

Operating safety
WarningG
Any alterations made to electronic compo-
nents and the software can cause malfunc-
tions.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer*, satellite
radio*, telephone* and navigation module
are interconnected. When one of the com-
ponents 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
only by qualified personnel.
WarningG
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should enter
system settings with the vehicle at a stand-
still and operate the system only when road,
weather and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just
30 mp/h (approximately 50 km/h), your car
is covering a distance of 44 feet (approxima-
tely 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 encoura-
ge the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe
place before answering or placing a call, or
consulting the COMAND screen to read na-
vigational maps, instructions, or downloa-
ded information.
While the navigation system provides direc-
tional assistance, the driver must remain fo-
cused 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 al-
ways remains your personal responsibility
when you drive. DVD maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes within an area.
