Where to find it
Introduction
Where to find it
This Operator's Manual is designed to pro-
vide support information for you, the MCS
operator. Each chapter has its own guide
color to provide fast access to information.
At a glance
This chapter will give you an overview of all
MCS control elements and system compo-
nents. If you are operating MCS for the first
time or if you have rented or borrowed the
vehicle, this is the chapter you should read
first.
Audio

how to use the radio, cassette player, sin-
gle CD player*, CD changer* and adjust
the audio system settings.
Telephone*

many functions of the telephone, how to

7 Introduction
Operating safety
Operating safety
WarningG
Any alterations made to electronic compo-
nents and the software can cause malfunc-
tions.
The radio, amplifier, CD player*, CD chang-
er*, and telephone* are interconnected.
When one of the components is not opera-
tional or has not been removed/replaced
properly, the function of other components
may be impaired.
This condition might seriously impair the op-
erating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service
work on electronic components carried out
by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
WarningG
In order to avoid distraction, which could
lead to an accident, system settings should
be entered with the vehicle at a standstill.
The driver should only operate the system
when traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just
30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your car
is covering a distance of 50 feet (approxi-
mately 14 m) every second.
MCS supplies you with the information to
help you select your route more easily and
guide you conveniently and safely to your
destination. For safety reasons, we encour-
age the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe
place before answering or placing a call, or
consulting the MCS screen to read naviga-
tional maps, instructions, or downloaded in-
formation.
While the navigation system* provides di-
rectional assistance, the driver must remain
focused on safe driving behavior, including
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. This al-
ways remains your personal responsibility
when you drive.DVD maps do not cover all ar-
eas nor all routes within an area.
