Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other
networked components. In particular,
systems relevan tto safety could also be
affected. As a result, these may no longer
function as intended and/or jeopardize the
operating safety of the vehicle. There is an
increased risk of an accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and
electronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle
electronics, the general operating permit is
rendered invalid. G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and
communication equipment integrated in the
vehicle while driving, you will be distracted
from traffic conditions. You could also lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the
equipment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating COMAND.
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R merging lanes
R parking or stopping in a no parking/no
stopping zone R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
R narrow bridges
COMAND can give incorrect navigation
commands if the actual street/traffic
situation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. Digital maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes in an area. For example,
a route may have been diverted or the
direction of a one-way street may have
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and
regulations always have priority over the
system's driving recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Looking at the icons or map display can
distract you from traffic conditions and
driving, and increase the risk of an accident.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h) your vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
per second.
This equipmen tcomplies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled
equipment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
Supplement C to OET65.
This equipment has very low levels of RF
energy that is deemed to comply without
maximum permissive exposure evaluation
(MPE). But it is desirable that it should be
installed and operated with at least 8inches
(20 cm) and more between the radiato rand a
person's body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, fee tand legs.) 14
Operating safety

Declarations of conformity
Vehicle components which receive
and/or transmit radio waves
i USA only: The wireless devices of this
vehicle comply with Par t15oft he FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause
interference, and
2) These devices must accept any
interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the
device.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
i Canada only: The wireless devices of this
vehicle comply with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause
interference, and
2) These devices must accept any
interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the
device. Correct use
Observe the following information when using
COMAND:
R the safety notes in this manual
R traffic rules and regulations
R laws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles
i Work improperly carried out on electronic
components or systems (e.g. radio, DVD
changer) and associated software could
cause them to cease functioning. Even
systems that have not been modified could
be affected because the electronic
systems are connected. Electronic malfunctions can seriously jeopardize the
operational safety of your vehicle.
i Roof antenna functionality (telephone,
satellite radio, GPS) can be affected by the
use of roof carrier systems.
Attaching metalized retrofit film to the
windshield may affect radio reception and
have a negative impact on all other
antennas (e.g. emergency antenna) in the
vehicle interior.
i Therefore, have all work on or
modifications to electronic components
carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. This workshop should have the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use an
authorized Mercedes-Ben zCenter for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must
be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
i Protection against theft: this device is
equipped with technical provisions to
protect it against theft. Further information
on protection against thef tcan be obtained
from an authorized Mercedes-Ben zCenter. Data stored in the vehicle
A number of electronic components in your
vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or
permanently store technical information
about:
R The vehicle's operating state
R Incidents
R Malfunctions
This technical information generally
documents the condition of a component, a
module, a system or an environment. Operating safety

have any questions concerning equipment
and operation, please consult an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. Function restrictions
For safety reasons, some COMAND functions
are restricted or unavailable while the vehicle
is in motion. You will notice this, for example
because either you will not be able to select
