i
Never leave external devices in the vehi-
cle as extreme temperatures (e.g. if sub-
jected to direct sunlight or at extremely low
outside temperatures) may prevent them
from functioning correctly (see separate
operating instructions of the respective
device). Mercedes-Benz does not take
responsibility for any damage to external
devices. :

has been excessively discharged can result
in an extended initialisation period. i
Error messages appear while the device
is being activated if:
R COMAND does not support the device
connected.
R the connected device consumes too
much power.
R the Media Interface connection is faulty.
Where necessary, consult a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre. Switching to Media Interface opera-
tion
i In extreme cases, starting up individual
functions can take up to several minutes,
depending on the external device and its
content (e.g. video podcasts).

and MP3 player. Otherwise,
some or all functions may not be available.

If the Bluetooth ®
connection is successful,
you will be prompted by the mobile phone to
enter the passcode – see mobile phone oper-
ating instructions.
X Enter the same passcode on the mobile
phone that you entered in COMAND.
i After entering the passcode, you may also
need to enter a confirmation in your mobile
phone. Check the display of your mobile
phone.

cessful message appears on the

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)

G
Risk of poisoning
Never leave the engine running in enclosed
spaces. The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes consti-
tutes a health hazard and could lead to loss
of consciousness or even death.
Displaying information on the currently
used map version X
Select NaviQMap version.
Notes on handling DVDs R
Only hold DVDs by the edge.
R Handle DVDs carefully to prevent reading
errors.
R Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and
dust on DVDs.
R Use a commercially-available cleaning
cloth to clean discs. Do not wipe them with
a circular motion, but only in straight lines
from the centre outwards.
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 acti-
vation code which is usable in one vehicle
only, and is not transferable. You can obtain
the six digit activation code from your
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. If you have
lost the activation code, or if COMAND does
not accept the activation code that you have
received, ask at your Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
Your vehicle is supplied with map software at
the factory. Depending on the country, the
map software for your region is either pre-
installed (Europe/USA), or the map software
is provided on a DVD (all other countries). 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 rein-
stall it, this also does not necessitate entry of
the activation code.
Installation process X
Insert the map software DVD into the single
DVD drive (Y page 77) or the DVD
changer* (Y page 78).
COMAND checks the DVD and shows a
corresponding message in the display.
The map software is not compatible with
the navigation system
You will see a message that the installation of
the map software is not possible.
X To confirm the message: pressW.
COMAND ejects the DVD.
X Take the DVD out of the slot.
X Insert a DVD which is compatible with the
vehicle’s navigation system.
The map software is not compatible with
the current system software
You will see a message that the system soft-
ware and the map software are not compati-
ble.
X To confirm the message: pressW.
COMAND ejects the DVD.
X Take the DVD out of the slot.
X Have the system software updated at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The map software cannot be installed until
the system software has been updated.
Map software compatible with the navi-
gation system and the current system
software
COMAND checks whether the map data on
the DVD is already installed.
Map data is already installed
You will see a message that the map data is
already installed and a prompt will appear
asking you whether you wish to continue with
the installation. Navigation system* (introduction)
