WarningG
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle.
Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety
reasons, the driver should not use the mobi-
le phone while the vehicle is in motion. Stop
the vehicle in a safe location before answe-
ring or placing a call.
If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile
phone while driving, please use the hands-
free device and be sure to pay attention to
the traffic situation at all times. Use the mo-
bile phone

traffic conditions permit.
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e.
without being connected to an external an-
tenna) from inside the vehicle while the en-
gine is running. Doing so could lead to
malfunction of the vehicle’s electronic sys-
tems, possibly resultin g in an accident and
personal injury.
!
Radio transmitters, such as a portable
telephone or a citizens band unit
should only be used inside the vehicle
if they are connected to a separate ex-
terior antenna that has been approved
by Mercedes-Benz.

Important notes
WarningG
For safety reasons, you should only enter a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger
should enter the destination. Study manual
and select route before driving.
Do not watch display screen or operate but-
tons while the vehicle is in motion - let voice
instructions guide you. Stop at a safe locati-
on before using buttons or making correc-
tions.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recomm endations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car is co-
vering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
The route calculated by COMAND is a re-
commendation on how to best reach your
selected destination.
During route guidance, you will not receive
any information on
Traffic lights
Stop and yield signs
Parking or stopping zones
One-way streets
Narrow bridges
Similar traffic regulation data
You should therefore always strictly observe
traffic regulations while driving. Drive care-
fully and always obey tr affic laws and road
signs even if they contradict COMAND in-
structions.
