Useful information
i This Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional
equipment of your vehicle available at the
time of publication of the Operator's
Manual. Country-specific differences are
possible. Please note that your vehicle may
not be equipped with all features
described. This also applies to safety-
related systems and functions.
i Please read the information on qualified
specialist workshops ( Y page 29).
Introduction
Operating safety
General notes
GWARNING
Making alterations to electronic components
can cause malfunctions.
Radio, satellite radio, amplifier, DVD changer,
navigation module, phone and voice control
are networked together. If one component is
not functional or if it has been incorrectly
removed/replaced, this could impair the
operation of other components.
This could seriously jeopardize the
operational safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you always have
maintenance work on electronic components
carried out at 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.
i Canada only: This device complies with
RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference,
and
2. this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may

SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-
passenger side and on the driver's side.
Depending on the viewing angle of the display
(from the driver's seat or from the front-
passenger seat), you will see two different
displays.112At a glanceCOMAND

Off-road during route guidance
Due to roadworks, 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 last road you were
driving on.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Route guidance on roads that are not
completely digitalized
COMAND attempts to avoid roads that have
not been completely digitalized. If the
vehicle's position or the destination is located
in an area that has not been completely
digitalized, then no active route guidance is
performed. Instead, the map shows a dashed
route along the roads and the target direction
is shown with an arrow. You hear the
announcement: "You will enter an area,
where turn-by-turn guidance can not be
provided. Please follow the arrow on the
display". Once these roads have been left,
regular route guidance is resumed.
Traffic reports
Prerequisite
i The SatRadio mode described below
requires optional satellite radio equipment
and a subscription to SIRIUS XM Satellite
Radio Traffic Message Service. Further
details on SatRadio are available in the
"SatRadio" section ( Y page 200).
COMAND can receive traffic reports via
SatRadio and incorporate them in the
navigation system. Traffic messages and map
symbols can then be shown in the COMAND
display.
COMAND uses high quality traffic data.
Nevertheless, there may be differences
between the traffic reports received and the
actual road and traffic conditions.
Switching traffic reports on/offXTo switch on: set the route type to
Dynamic Route 6
(Y page 136).XTo switch off: select the Fast Route or
Short Route route type (Y page 136).
i
COMAND calculates a new route if you
change the route type setting with route
guidance active. If you change the route
type setting when route guidance is
inactive, COMAND uses the new setting for
the next route guidance.
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.

the display will be grayed out. Height
display : may vary from the actual value,

Switching the topographical map on/
off
The topographical map uses different colors
to depict elevation. The color key generally
reflects the topography's dominant
vegetation or the ground's perceived color
when seen from the air, for example:
R green for lowland
R yellow or brown for hills
R gray or white for mountains

about new map software versions can be
obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
