Your COMAND equipment
These operating instructions describe all
standard and optional equipment available
for your COMAND system at the time of pur-
chase. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. Please note that your COMAND system
may not be equipped with all the features
described. This also applies to safety-relevant
systems and functions. Therefore, the equip-
ment on your COMAND system may differ
from that in the descriptions and illustrations.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. General notes

has the highest priority. When a service call,
e.g. a breakdown service call or the MB Info
Call, is active, an emergency call can still be
initiated.
A service call, on the other hand, has priority
over a current Internet connection. Therefore,
you cannot establish an Internet connection
during a service call.

Benz Apps may vary depending on the
country.
i The terms of use are shown when the sys-
tem is used for the first time and then once

General notes
A good Internet connection enables an effi-
cient transmission of audio data. Connecting
your mobile phone to the vehicle's exterior
antenna via the phone bracket ensures the
best possible reception.
i Bear in mind that a relatively large volume
of data can be transmitted when using
Internet radio. An average 12 8kbit per sec-
ond data transfer rate can transfer 56 MB
of data in one hour.

ble or interrupted for a variety of reasons.

cal conditions as well as other factors beyond
the control of Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. This
