The ETDs for the rear seats will activate with
or
without
the respective seat belts fastened.
In an impact, the ETDs remove slack from the
seat belts in such a way that the seat belts fit
more snugly against the body. Seat belt force
limiters, when activated, are employed to
help reduce the peak force exerted by the
seat belts on occupants during a crash.
i The ETDs do not correct an incorrect seat
position or incorrectly worn seat belts.
The ETDs do not pull occupants back
toward the seat backrest. G
Warning!
Pyrotechnic ETDs that were activated must be
replaced.
For your safety, when disposing of the
pyrotechnic ETDs always follow our safety
instructions. These are available at any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Automatic comfort-fit feature seat belt An automatic comfort-fit feature for the front
seats
reduces

the retracting force of the seat
belts when they are in normal use. Preventive occupant safety (PRE-
SAFE
®
) G
Warning!
The PRE-SAFE ®
system
is intended to reduce
the effects of an accident on vehicle
occupants who are wearing their seat belt
properly. Despite your vehicle being equipped
with the PRE-SAFE ®
system, the possibility of
personal injuries occurring as a result of an
accident cannot be eliminated. Therefore,
always drive carefully and adjust your driving
to the prevailing road, weather, and traffic
conditions. The PRE-SAFE
®
system takes preventive
measures to better protect the occupants
from the

possibility of personal injuries in the
following hazardous situations:
R emergency braking situations, e.g. if the
Brake Assist System (BAS) ( Y page 57) is
activated
or when
vehicles with DISTRONIC PLUS:
the BAS PLUS ( Y page 57) or the PRE-
SAFE ®
Brake (Y page 62) is strongly
engaging
R critical dynamic driving situations, e.g.
when the vehicle has been caused to
understeer or oversteer because it has
exceeded its physical limitations or in case
of evasive steering maneuvers at speeds
above approximately 85 mph (140 km/h)
The PRE-SAFE ®
system takes the following
measures when it is activated:
R If the front passenger seat is in an
unfavorable position, the seat will be
adjusted to a position that seeks to better
protect the occupant.
R The system increases the air pressure in
the air pockets (on the sides of the seat
cushion and backrest) of the drive-dynamic
multicontour front seats.
R If the vehicle is in a critical dynamic driving
situation, the door windows and the tilt/
sliding sunroof also closes, except for a
minimal gap that remains open.
If the closing procedure of any of these
elements is blocked, it will stop and open
slightly.
Once the hazardous situation no longer exists
and an accident has been avoided, the PRE-
SAFE ®
system decreases the air pressure in
the air pockets of the drive-dynamic
multicontour front seats. All of the PRE-
SAFE ®
system settings can be re-adjusted
following the critical driving event. Occupant safety

Vehicle equipment
i This Operator’s Manual describes all
features, standard or optional, potentially
available for your vehicle at the time of
purchase. Please be aware that your
vehicle might not be equipped with all
features described in this manual. COMAND introduction
COMAND operating safety
COMAND ( Cockpit Management and Data
System) is an information and operating
center for
vehicle sound and communications
systems. It includes the radio and navigation
system, as well as other optional equipment
(satellite radio, telephone, etc.). G
Warning!
Any alteration of electronic components or
software can cause malfunctions.
Radio, satellite radio, amplifier, CD/DVD
changer, navigation module, telephone and
Voice Control Systems are interconnected.
Therefore, if one of the components is not
operational, or has not been removed/
replaced properly, the function of other
components could be impaired.
Such conditions might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend to have any service work on
electronic components carried out by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. G
Warning!
In order to avoid distraction which could lead
to an

accident, the driver should enter system
settings while the vehicle is at a standstill, and
operate the system only when permitted by
road, weather and traffic conditions.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
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
encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a
safe
place

before answering or placing a call,
or consulting the COMAND screen to read
navigational maps, instructions, or
downloaded information. G
Warning!
While the navigation system provides
directional assistance,

the driver must remain
focused on safe driving behavior, especially
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. Their
observance always remains in the driver’s
personal responsibility. Maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes within an area. Availability of functions while the
vehicle is in motion
For safety reasons, certain COMAND
functions are not available while the vehicle
is in motion or they are only available to a
limited extent. You will notice this, for
example, by

the fact that certain menu items
cannot be selected or that the COMAND
display shows a corresponding message. Switching COMAND on or off
X Press shortcut button u in the center
console (Y page 69).
COMAND calls up the last selected menu.
i When you switch off COMAND, you also
switch off the currently playing audio
source. During

a telephone call, you cannot
switch off COMAND. 68

When reinstalling a map software that has
been installed in that vehicle already, an
activation code is not required.
Installation process
i
The installation process can take
between 10 and 120 minutes, depending
on the
size of the map software. If the radio
is switched on when you start the
installation process, you can still adjust the
volume. During the installation process,
some COMAND functions are suspended.
Still available are the COMAND functions
for automatic air conditioning operation
and canceling the installation process.
If possible, carry out the installation when
the vehicle is stationary. When the vehicle
is stationary, the reading rate of the DVD
drive is higher than in a moving vehicle and
the installation process requires less time. G
Observe Safety notes, see page 68.
i COMAND may switch off during the
installation process automatically in order
to protect the battery. This may happen
when the engine is switched off and the
vehicle battery has insufficient power. If
this occurs,

restart the installation with the
engine running. Similarly, if the SmartKey
position is unintentionally switched to 0,
restart the installation. G
Warning!
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to your
health. All exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause
unconsciousness and lead to death. Do not
run the engine in confined areas (such as a
garage) which are not properly ventilated. Installing

For operation of the external audio and
video sources, refer to the operating
instructions of the respective device. You
may have to adjust the proper video
standard on the external audio and video
source to ensure proper replay.
Do not leave external devices in the vehicle.
Proper function of the device could be
impaired due to excessive temperatures,
for example when exposing to direct
sunlight or when the outside temperature
is extremely low. Mercedes-Benz does not
assume liability for damage to external
devices. G
Warning!
Operating an external audio source while the
vehicle is in motion will distract you. You may
not notice changing road and/or traffic
conditions which may cause an accident.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
For your safety and the safety of others, pull
over to a safe location and stop before
operating an external audio source. G
Warning!
Due to the different volumes of the external
audio sources, system messages of the
vehicle may be much louder. You may need to
disable these system messages or adjust the
volume of these messages manually.
i The volume of external audio sources is
extremely variable. It is possible that a
device connected as an external audio
source will sound quieter or louder in the
vehicle or that the usual maximum volume
cannot be achieved. On certain devices the
volume can be set separately. In this case,
start at a moderate volume and increase it
slowly. In this way, you can determine whether the system is capable of playback
without distortion, even at high volume.
