The COMAND phone book is an extract of
those entries from the address book which
contain at least one telephone number.
In addition, the first entry is "MB Contact",
which can be used to place a call to the
Mercedes-Benz Hotline.
The address book organises and stores
entries which are entered from different sour-
ces (mobile phone, SD memory card, Blue-
tooth ®
import, COMAND phone book, navi-
gation). You can use these entries to make
telephone calls, for navigation and for writing
(text messages).
Importing contacts automatically If basic telephony is activated via the Blue-
tooth
®
interface or convenience telephony*
using the mobile phone bracket*, contacts
(phone book entries) are automatically impor-
ted from the respective mobile phone to the
COMAND 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 in the SIM card
are imported.
Automatically imported contacts (phone
book entries) in COMAND can be identified
by the d/0 symbol. These entries are

Safety notes
G
Risk of accident
For safety reasons, only enter a new destina-
tion when the vehicle is stationary.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R lane narrowing
R other road and traffic controls and regula-
tions
For this reason, you must always observe the
respective road and traffic rules and regula-
tions during your journey. Road and traffic
controls and regulations always have priority
over the navigation announcements gener-
ated by the system. General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system In vehicles for certain countries, the naviga-
tion system is not operational immediately
after delivery because the map software is
not pre-installed there.
If this is the case, you will see the following
message when you switch to navigation
mode:
The map software must be
installed. Please insert the DVD
containing the map software. Navigation system* (introduction)

X
To install software: (Ypage 132).
i Do not cancel the installation process. If
you cancel the installation process, the
navigation system will not be operational.
GPS reception Amongst other things, correct functioning of
the navigation system depends on GPS recep-
tion. In certain situations, GPS reception may
be impaired, there may be interference or
there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tun-
nels, in multi-storey car parks or due to snow
on the GPS aerial. Remove any snow from the
GPS aerial. The GPS aerial is on the roof at
the rear.
Route guidance after vehicle transpor-
tation or exiting a multi-storey car park COMAND has to redetermine the position of
the vehicle if the vehicle has been transpor-
ted, e.g.:
R by ferry
R by motorail
R after towing
COMAND may also have to redetermine the
vehicle's position after exiting a multi-storey
car park.
Positioning takes place automatically even
when COMAND is switched off. The duration
will vary from one situation to another.
Route guidance may be restricted as follows
during vehicle positioning:
R navigation announcements, route guid-
ance displays and displayed street names
are not consistent with the actual location
of the vehicle.
R COMAND does not generate navigation
announcements.
R instead of the route guidance display, you
see the Street unknown. display and a
directional arrow. The directional arrow shows the compass heading to the desti-
nation.
When positioning is complete, route guidance
is resumed with navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
Interrupting the journey during route
guidance i
Interrupting the journey means parking
the vehicle and switching off COMAND.
Continuing the journey means switching
COMAND on again and driving on.
The following applies if you interrupt the jour-
ney during route guidance and continue the
journey later on:
R COMAND resumes route guidance auto-
matically if you continue the journey within
2 hours.
R Route guidance is cancelled if you continue
the journey after more than 2 hours. It will
be necessary to resume the cancelled
route guidance manually.
Hard disk errors COMAND has an integrated hard disk on
which the map software is stored.
If an area of the hard disk has a fault,
COMAND can no longer access the map data
in this area, for example when calculating a
route.
The message: Navigation unavailable.
Please observe the Owner's Manual.
appears.
X To delete the message: switch COMAND
off and then on again.
If you switch the navigation system off/on, it
will be operational again until it has to access
the faulty area of the hard disk again.
The message will then appear again. Consult
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. 126
