Operating safety
Warning!
Any alterations made to electronic components
and the software can cause malfunctions.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer, telephone and
Voice recognition system are interconnected.
Therefore, when one of the components is
defective or has not been removed/replaced
properly this may impair the function of other
components.
These malfunctions might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service work or
alternations on electronic components done in an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Operation – COMAND and telephone
Warning!
In order to avoid distraction which could lead to an
accident, system settings should be entered with the
vehicle at standstill and system should be operated
by the driver only when traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approxi-
mately 50 km/h), your car is covering a distance of
50 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
COMAND supplies you with information to help you
select your route more easily and guides you conven-
iently and safely to your destination. For safety’s sake,
you should not use some of the functions, such as
entering the destination, unless your vehicle is station-
ary (electronic key in the ignition at position 1).
The navigation system does not supply any informa-
tion on stop signs, yield signs, traffic regulations or
traffic safety rules. This always remains your
personal responsibility when you drive.
1 Observe all legal requirements.
