WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle 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 equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving when operating COMAND.
USA only:
To use COMAND Mercedes-Benz Apps and
Internet access, the following conditions
must be fulfilled:
R mbrace is activated and operational
R mbrace is activated for COMAND
Mercedes-Benz Apps and Internet access
Priority of connections: an emergency call
has the highest priority. When a service call,
e.g. a breakdown service call or the MB Info
Call, is active, an emergency call can still be
initiated.
A service call, on the other hand, has priority over a current Internet connection. Therefore,you cannot establish an Internet connection
during a service call. i
The availability of individual COMAND
Mercedes-Benz Apps may vary depending
on the country.
i The terms of use are shown when
COMAND is used for the first time and then
once a year thereafter. Only read and

In order to use the functions, the following
conditions are necessary:
R The mobile phone supports the DUN Blue-
tooth ®
profile ( Dial-Up Networking) and is
connected to COMAND via the Bluetooth ®
interface (Y page 126). The DUN Blue-
tooth ®
profile enables the mobile phone to
establish a dial-up connection to the Inter-
net.
R You need a valid mobile service contract
with a data option, which is used to calcu-
late the associated connection costs.
R The access data of the mobile phone net-
work provider must be set on COMAND for the connected mobile phone (Y page 160).
i If the connected mobile phone supports
the PAN Bluetooth profile (Personal Area
Network), you can use the automatic con-
figuration function (Y page 160).
i You can obtain more detailed information
about suitable mobile phones on the Inter-
net at http://www.mercedes-
benz.com/connect or from your author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center.
i If you use incorrect access data, addi-
tional costs may be incurred. This can hap-
pen when you use details that are different
from the contract or details from another
contract/data package. 158

The following could be the cause of call dis-
connection:
R insufficient GSM/UMTS network coverage
R the vehicle has moved into a GSM cell with
no free channels
R the SIM card used is not compatible with
the network available
R you are using a mobile phone with "Twin-
card" and the mobile phone with the sec-
ond SIM card is logged into the network at
the same time Function restrictions (Canada only)
You will not be able to use the mobile phone,
will no longer be able to use the mobile phone, or you may have to wait before using it, in the
following situations:
R when the mobile phone is switched off
R if the Bluetooth ®
function is switched off in
COMAND
R if the Bluetooth ®

interface telephony
R if the mobile phone has not logged on to a
mobile phone network
R if neither the mobile phone network nor the
mobile phone allow simultaneous use of a

It is possible that you may not be able to
receive calls when an Internet connection
is active. This depends on the mobile phone
and the mobile phone network used. Roaming (Canada only)
When you are driving your vehicle in a differ-
ent country and using COMAND and Internet
functions, additional costs may be incurred
(roaming fees). When you are in a different
country, your SIM card must be enabled for
data roaming. If your mobile phone network
provider does not have a data roaming agree-
ment with the roaming partner, it may not be possible to establish an Internet connection.
Deactivate this function on your mobile
phone if you want to avoid data roaming when you are in a different country. Setting access data (Canada only)
Introduction
To use online and Internet functions, you
need Internet access data for the connected
mobile phone. You can obtain this from your
mobile phone network provider.
A selected/manually set mobile phone net-
work provider is only valid for the mobile
phone connected when the selection/setting
is made. The mobile phone network provider
is set automatically upon reconnection.
i When you are driving your vehicle in a dif-
ferent country and using the online and
Internet functions on COMAND, you may
incur additional costs (roaming fees).
i While initializing the mobile phone for the
Internet connection, access data which is
already on the mobile phone may be over-
written. You should therefore check the
settings on the mobile phone (see the
mobile phone operating instructions).
i Adjust the access data settings when the
vehicle is stationary. You may otherwise be Setting access data (Canada only)

This device name is predetermined but can
usually be changed. To make a clear selec-
tion of the Bluetooth ®
