Vehicle equipment
i This manual describes all the standard
and optional equipment of your vehicle
which was available at the time of
purchase. Country-specific differences are
possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle
may not feature all functions described
here. This also refers to safety-related
systems and functions.
Introduction
Operating safety
General notes
GWarning
Any alterations of electronic components or
software can cause malfunctions.
Radio, satellite radio, amplifier, 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.
GWarning
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 car covers 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.GWarning
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. DVD maps do not
cover all areas nor all routes within an area.

The continuous blue route on the map starts
from the nearest road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map location
to a destination
If the vehicle position is outside the area
covered by the digital map, then the vehicle
is in an off-map location. COMAND is also
able to guide you to a destination even from
an off-map location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see
the Street unknown message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The arrow
shows the compass heading to the road left
last.
The route is highlighted in blue from the
nearest road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
Due to road construction work, for example,
there may be differences between the data
on the digital map and the actual course of
the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the
digital map and thus considers the vehicle to
be in an off-road position.
In the display, you will see the Street
unknown message, an arrow and the distance
to the destination. The arrow shows the
compass heading to the actual destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way.Traffic reports
Conditions
i The SatRadio reception described below
requires optionally available SatRadio
equipment as well as a subscription to
SIRIUS XM SatRadio Traffic Message
Service. Further details on SatRadio are
available in the "SatRadio" chapter
( Y page 200).
COMAND can receive traffic reports via
SatRadio and incorporate them in the
navigation system. Traffic reports and map
icons can then be shown in the COMAND
display.
Real-time traffic reports on the map
COMAND can show certain traffic incidents
on the map. The incidents are shown on the
map at a scale from 1/16 mi to 20 mi.
