Safety precautions
General notes
Calls disconnected while the vehicle is
in motion
A call may be disconnected if:

there is insufficient network coverage

you move from one transmitter/receiv-
er area (cell) into another and no chan-
nels are free or the cell is fullOperating options
When the mobile phone is inserted in the
cradle, you can operate the telephone us-
ing the following devices:

mobile phone keypad

COMAND telephone keypad

buttonss andt on the multi-
function steering wheel (

Warning!G
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a cellular telephone while driving.
Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety
reasons, the driver should not use the cellu-
lar telephone while the vehicle is in motion.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location before
placing or answering a call.
If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile
phone
1 while driving, please use the hands-
free feature and be sure to pay attention to
the traffic situation at all times. Use the mo-
bile phone only when road, weather and traf-
fic conditions permit. Otherwise, you may
not be able to observe traffic conditions and
could endanger yourself and others.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approxima-
tely 14 m) every second.
1Observe all legal requirements.
Warning!G
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. with-
out being connected to an external antenna)
from inside the vehicle while the engine is
running. Doing so could lead to a malfunc-
tion of the vehicle’s electronic system, pos-
sibly resulting in an accident and/or
personal injury.
iThe components and operating principles of
COMAND can be found on (
page 81) and
(
page 89).
iVarious mobile phone cradles can be in-
stalled in the front center armrest, see separate
installation instructions for the mobile phone
cradle. These mobile phone cradles can be ob-
tained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter. For more information about telephone

spective separate Operating Instructions.
Caller ID
COMAND can display the telephone num-
ber and the name of the caller, e.g. for an
incoming call and also in other menus or
displays.
For the telephone number to be displayed,
the caller must transmit their telephone
number.
This is also the case for name displays. For
this, the telephone number and the name
of the caller must also be saved in the mo-
bile phone book.Functional restrictions
You will not be able to use the telephone,
or you may have to wait a while, in the fol-
lowing situations:

If the telephone has not yet logged into
the network.
The telephone automatically tries to
log into a network. If no network is
available, you will also not be able to
make a “911” emergency call.
If you attempt to make an outgoing call,
the “No Service” message will appear
for a short while.

If the mobile phone is not inserted in
the cradle.

SIM card is not inserted in GSM type
phone
iIn order for the functions described in this
section to work correctly, the Bluetooth® head-
set must be linked to COMAND (
page 232).
Please make sure any Bluetooth® headset linked
with the mobile phone is switched off or that the
headset is linked with COMAND before you in-
sert the mobile phone in the cradle (
page 479)
and use the telephone functions with COMAND.

Preparation phase
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
driving maneuver. Based on the example
display below, the driving maneuver is an-
nounced with the “Prepare to turn left”
message. The display is not split and
shows the map over the full screen.

COMAND announces the next driving ma-
neuver. Based on the example display be-
low, the driving maneuver is announced
700 feet in advance with the “Turn left in
700 feet to your destination” message.
The display is divided in two. In the left
half, you see the normal map view. In the
right half, there is either an enlarged view
of the area surrounding the intersection
(intersection zoom) or simply a symbol for
the next driving maneuver.
The following example illustration shows
the intersection zoom in the right half.1Next road

COMAND navigation system (route guidance)
During route guidance, the display is divid-
ed. On the right-hand side you will see the
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination.
On the left-hand side of the display you will
see the map with the suggested route. The
suggested route is highlighted blue. How-
ever, it may not be possible to follow the
suggested route because, for example, the
road is closed or not open for car traffic.
If, during route guidance, COMAND leads
you back into a fully digitalized area, route
guidance will simply continue in the usual
manner.Off-road and off-map
Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion
COMAND can guide you to destinations
within the area covered by the digital map,
even if a destination is not located at a
road known to the system.These destinations are shown as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using
the map, for example.
In these cases, COMAND guides you for as
long as possible with navigation announce-
ments and displays on roads known to the
system.
Shortly before you reach the last known
the point to leave the digitized road net-
work, you will hear the announcement “The
destination is nearby. Follow the arrow on
the display”.
You will then see an arrow that indicates
the direction to the off-road destination.
When the off-road destination is close to
the road, “Area of dest. reached” appears
in addition below the arrow.
The section of the route from the last
known point on the map to the off-road
destination is indicated with a dashed line
after a certain length. It simply shows the
direction to the off-road destination with-
out taking account of any type of obstacles
in the way.
Warning!G
The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of traversing through without
damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver’s sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the route. Off-road routes
may be of varying conditions and their ap-
propriateness for use may be affected by
various factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
cannot be judged or taken into consider-
ation by the COMAND system.

Off-road during route guidance
The road layout may differ from the data on
the digital map, due to road construction
measures, for example.
In such cases, the system cannot allocate
the vehicle’s position to the digital map
and the vehicle is therefore in an off-road
position.
The “Off Road” message and an arrow
showing the compass heading to the desti-
nation appear on the display.
As soon as the system can allocate the ve-
hicle position’s to the map again, route
guidance continues in the usual way.
