Operating Safety
GWarning
Any alterations of electronic components or
software can cause malfunctions.
Radio, satellite radio, amplifier, DVD changer,
navigation module, telephone and Voice
Control systems are interconnected.
Therefore, if one of the components is not
operational, or has not been removed/
replaced properly, the function of other
components could be impaired.
Such conditions might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend to have any service work on
electronic components carried out by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
GWarning
In order to avoid distraction which could lead
to an accident, the driver should enter system
settings while the vehicle is at a standstill, and
operate the system only when permitted by
road, weather and traffic conditions.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every
second.
COMAND supplies you with information to
help you select your route more easily and
guide you conveniently and safely to your
destination. For safety reasons, we
encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a
safe place before answering or placing a call,
or consulting the COMAND screen to read
navigational maps, instructions, or
downloaded information.GWarning
While the navigation system provides
directional assistance, the driver must remain
focused on safe driving behavior, especially
attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the system’s audio cues while
driving.
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. Their
observance always remains in the driver’s
personal responsibility. DVD maps do not
cover all areas nor all routes within an area.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
GWarning
Change or modification not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment.
! Note: This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
Operating Safety17IntroductionZ
Page 20 of 224
to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.GWarning
This equipment complies 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 8 inches
(20 cm) and more between the radiator and a
person's body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, feet and legs.)
Declaration of Conformity Regarding
the Distribution of
Telecommunications Equipment
Daimler AG declares herewith that this device
conforms to the basic requirements and the
other relevant regulations of Directive
1999/5/EC (RTTE Directive).
Intended Purpose
Please bear the following information in mind
when using the COMAND:
R The safety instructions in this guide
R Road Traffic Regulations
i Tampering with electronic components or
systems (e.g. radio, DVD changer) and their
software may result in malfunctioning.
Systems which have not been changed may
be affected due to the connectivity of the
electronics. Malfunctions of the electronics
can seriously endanger the operational
safety of your vehicle.
i Always have all work or modifications to
electronic components carried out by a
qualified specialist workshop with the
necessary expertise and tools for any work
required. Daimler AG recommends a
Mercedes-Benz service center for this
purpose. Especially for safety-related
operations and operations on safety-
related systems, servicing by a qualified
specialist workshop is essential.
i This device is equipped with electronic
anti-theft protection. For more information
please refer to your Mercedes-Benz service
center.
Function Restrictions When Driving
the Vehicle
For safety reasons, some COMAND functions
are restricted or not available when the
vehicle is moving. This can be recognized, for
example, from the fact that certain menu
items cannot be selected or the COMAND
displays a corresponding message.
