Declarations of conformity
Vehicle components which receive
and/or transmit radio waves
i USA only: The wireless devices of this
vehicle comply with Par t15oft he FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause
interference, and
2) These devices must accept any
interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the
device.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
i Canada only: The wireless devices of this
vehicle comply with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause
interference, and
2) These devices must accept any
interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the

Observe the following information when using
COMAND:
R the safety notes in this manual
R traffic rules and regulations
R laws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles
i Work improperly carried out on electronic
components or systems (e.g. radio, DVD
changer) and associated software could
cause them to cease functioning. Even
systems that have not been modified could
be affected because the electronic
systems are connected. Electronic malfunctions can seriously jeopardize the
operational safety of your vehicle.
i Roof antenna functionality (telephone,
satellite radio, GPS) can be affected by the
use of roof carrier systems.
Attaching metalized retrofit film to the
windshield may affect radio reception and
have a negative impact on all other
antennas (e.g. emergency antenna) in the
vehicle interior.
i Therefore, have all work on or
modifications to electronic components
carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. This workshop should have the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use an
authorized Mercedes-Ben zCenter for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must
be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
i Protection against theft: this device is
equipped with technical provisions to
protect it against theft. Further information
on protection against thef tcan be obtained
from an authorized Mercedes-Ben zCenter. Data stored in the vehicle
A number of electronic components in your
vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or
permanently store technical information
about:
R The vehicle's operating state
R Incidents
R Malfunctions
This technical information generally
documents the condition of a component, a
module, a system or an environment. Operating safety
