The address book organizes and stores
entries that are entered from different
sources (mobile phone, SD memory card,
Bluetooth ®
import, COMAND phone book,
navigation). You can use these entries to
make telephone calls and for navigation.
Importing contacts automatically
If a mobile phone is connected to COMAND
via the Bluetooth ®
interface, the contacts
(phone book entries) of the mobile phone are
automatically imported into COMAND's
phone book.
Depending on the mobile phone, this process
may take some time. Depending on the
mobile phone used, only the phone book
entries in the mobile phone or these entries
and the phone book entries from the SIM card
are imported.
The automatically imported contacts (phone
book entries) can be recognized in COMAND
by the Ã/0 symbol. They are only
available in COMAND if the corresponding
mobile phone is connected to COMAND via
the Bluetooth ®
interface.
Importing contacts manually
i The stored phone book and the vCards
remain in COMAND, even if you use
COMAND with another mobile phone. The
entries can be viewed without a mobile
phone. For this reason, delete the phone
book before selling or transferring
ownership of your vehicle.

After the data has been imported,
COMAND has to process it. The entries are
only visible in the address/phone book
when this is completed.
Receiving vCards via Bluetooth ®
You can receive vCards from devices (such as
a PC) which support the transmission of
vCards via Bluetooth ®
.
This requires the device to be authorized in
COMAND. PCs must be authorized via the
Bluetooth ®
device list ( Y page 132).
Received vCards are imported into the
address book.
Please bear the following in mind:
R Bluetooth ®
must be activated in COMAND
and on the Bluetooth ®

R it is night or if you are parking/
maneuvering your vehicle in a very dark
area
R a very bright white light is affecting the
camera
R the immediate vicinity is illuminated with

R temperature changes abruptly, for example
if you drive out of the cold into a heated
garage (condensation on the lens)
R the camera lens is dirty or covered
R the rear of your vehicle is damaged
In this case, have the position and the
setting of the camera checked at a
specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you consult a Mercedes-
Benz Center for this purpose.
Do not use the rear view camera in these

GWARNING
Use of rear view camera can be dangerous if
you are color-blind or have impaired color
vision.
Only use rear view camera if you can see and
distinguish all colored guidelines shown by
rear view camera on the COMAND system
display.
GWARNING
Please note that objects that do not touch the
ground may appear to be further away than
they actually are, for example:
R the bumper of a vehicle parked behind you
R the trailer drawbar
R the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
R the rear end of a truck
R a slanted post
In such cases, you should not use the guide
lines to judge the distance. You may misjudge
the distance, which increases the risk of
impacting the objects.
Even if the object you approach is directly on
the ground, do not approach the object any
closer than the red guide line.
Information in the COMAND display (example)
Guide lines ; and = show the approximate
distance to the rear area. Yellow guide
line ; indicates a distance of approximately
3 ft (1 m) and red guide line = indicates a
distance of approximately 10 in (0.25 m). The
distances only apply to objects that are at
ground level. Blue guide lines : depict the
width required for the vehicle. They are used
to align the vehicle with the edge of the road,
e.g. the curb.
