Important safety notes
GWARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
SmartKey from the ignition lock. Always take
the SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system, and do not give them access
to an unlocked vehicle. A child's unsupervised
access to a vehicle could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury. They could:
R injure themselves on vehicle parts
R be seriously or fatally injured by extreme
heat or cold
R injure themselves or have an accident with
vehicle equipment that may still be in
operation even after the SmartKey has
been removed from the ignition, such as the
seat adjustment, steering wheel
adjustment or memory function.
If children open a door, they could cause
severe or even fatal injury to other persons; if
they get out of the vehicle, they could injure
themselves when doing so or be seriously or
even fatally injured by any passing traffic.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint system's
metal parts, for example, could become very
hot, and a child could be burned on these
parts.GWARNING
Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the
passenger compartment unless they are
firmly secured in place.
Unsecured or improperly positioned cargo
increases a child's risk of injury in the event
of:
R strong braking maneuvers
R sudden changes of direction
R an accident

Information about new versions of map
software can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
You can have your map software updated
there with a DVD, or you can update it
yourself.
Updating processGWARNING
Never leave the engine running in enclosed
spaces. The exhaust gases contain toxic
carbon monoxide. Breathing in exhaust fumes
is a health hazard and can lead to
unconsciousness or death.
The update process can take a long time (over
an hour), depending on the size of the digital
map. During this time, you will only be able to
switch on radio mode and to accept incoming
calls. The update will be completed more
quickly if the vehicle is stationary.
If the starter battery is not sufficiently
charged, COMAND may end the process
automatically. This protects the battery. If
this occurs, restart the update with the
engine running.

cloth to clean discs. When cleaning CDs,
you should wipe in straight lines from the
center outwards rather than in a circular
motion.
R Place DVDs back in their cases after use.
R Protect DVDs from heat and direct sunlight.
Map software copy protection
Map software for COMAND is subject to a
charge. The map software has just one
activation code which is usable in one vehicle
only, and is not transferable. You can obtain
the six-digit activation code from an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. If you
have lost the activation code, contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. If
COMAND does not accept the activation
code that you have received, also contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Your vehicle is supplied with map software at
the factory. Depending on the country, map
software for your region is either pre-installed
or the map software is supplied as a DVD. You
do not require an activation code for the map
software that is provided with your vehicle.
If the map software on your vehicle has been
installed at the factory and you wish to
reinstall it, this also does not necessitate
entry of the activation code.
Installation processXLoad the map software DVD in the DVD
drive ( Y page 209).
COMAND checks the DVD and shows a
corresponding message in the display.
Map software is not compatible with the
navigation system
You will see a message that the map software
cannot be installed.

Telephony via the Bluetooth ®
interface
Conditions
On the mobile phone
For telephony via COMAND's Bluetooth ®
interface, a Bluetooth ®
-capable mobile
phone is required.
i Not all mobile phones available on the
market are equally suitable. More detailed
information on suitable mobile phones and
on connecting Bluetooth ®
-capable mobile
phones with COMAND can be found on the
Internet at
http://www.mbusa-mobile.com . Or call
the Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance
Center on
1-800-FOR-MERCedes(1-800-367-6372)
(for the USA) or Customer Relations on
1-800-387-0100 (for Canada).
The battery of the mobile phone should
always be kept sufficiently charged in order
to prevent malfunctions.
In preparation for telephoning via the
Bluetooth ®
interface, you should check the
following items on your mobile phone (see the
mobile phone operating instructions):XHands-Free Profile
The mobile phone must support Hands-
Free Profile 1.0 or above.
i Certain displays and functions (e.g. signal
strength display, conference connection)
are available, depending on the supported
version of the Hands-Free Profile.
XBluetooth ®
visibility
On certain mobile phones, the device itself
must be made "visible" for other devices,
as well as activating the Bluetooth ®
function (see the mobile phone operating
instructions).XBluetooth ®
device name
Every Bluetooth ®
device has its own
Bluetooth ®
device name. This device name
is freely definable, but can be identical for
all devices from the same manufacturer. It
is therefore recommended that you change
this name so that you can easily recognize
your mobile phone (see the mobile phone
operating instructions).XSwitch on the mobile phone and enter the
PIN when prompted to do so (see the
mobile phone operating instructions).XActivate Bluetooth ®
functions and, where
necessary, Bluetooth ®

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

possible. Please note that your vehicle may
not be equipped with all features
described. This also applies to safety-

Exterior lighting
Important safety notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you drive with the lights
switched on even during the daytime. In some
countries, operation of the headlamps varies
due to legal requirements and self-imposed
obligations.
Notes on driving abroad
To convert to symmetrical low beam
when driving abroad: switch the headlamps
to symmetrical low beam in countries in
which traffic drives on the opposite side of the
road from the country where the vehicle is
registered. This prevents glare to oncoming
traffic. Symmetrical lights do not illuminate
as large an area of the edge of the road.
Have the headlamps converted at a qualified
specialist workshop as close to the border as
possible before driving in these countries.
To convert to asymmetrical low beam
after returning: have the headlamps
converted back to asymmetrical low beam at
a qualified specialist workshop as soon as
possible after crossing the border and
returning to the original country.

Operation
Depending on the date of manufacture of your
vehicle, the c or à symbol for the

! Switch off the parking lamps and standing
lamps when you leave the vehicle. This
prevents the battery from discharging.
The exterior lighting (except the parking/
