please see the operating instructions for
the Bluetooth device.
It is possible to establish a Bluetooth
connection between COMAND and the
following types of device:
R Mobile phone
i Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones must

Further information on suitable mobile
phones and connecting Bluetooth-enabled
mobile phones to COMAND is available via
the Internet at www.mbusa-mobile.com . Or

Introduction
Vehicle Equipment
i This Operator’s Manual describes all
features, standard or optional, potentially
available for your vehicle at the time of
purchase. Please be aware that your
vehicle might not be equipped with all
features described in this manual.
Safety Instructions
GWarning
For safety reasons, only enter a destination
when the vehicle is stationary. When the
vehicle is in motion, a passenger should enter
the destination. Study manual and select
route before driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the
following:
R Traffic lights
R Stop and right-of-way-signs
R Lane merging
R Parking or stopping prohibited areas
R Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R Narrow bridges
GWarning
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map does
not correspond with the actual road/traffic
situation. Digital maps do not cover all areas
nor all routes within an area. For example, if
the traffic routing has been changed or the
direction of a one-way road has been
reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and
regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands
generated by the system.GWarning
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Consulting the symbols or map display for
directions may cause you to divert your
attention from driving and increase your risk
of an accident.
Updating the Map Software
The digital data for the map software will
become obsolete, just like conventional road
maps. Optimum route guidance by the
navigation system is only achieved with up-
to-date map software. Information on new
map software versions is available from an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
You can have the map software updated there
by means of a DVD or perform the update
process yourself.
Notes on DVD Discs
R Only touch the discs at the edges.
R Handle the discs with care in order to
prevent reading errors.
R Avoid scratching, leaving fingerprints and
dust on the discs.
R Use a commercially available cleaning cloth
to clean discs. Always wipe in a straight line
from the inside outwards, never in a circular
motion.
R After use, put the discs back into the box.
R Protect the discs from heat and direct
sunlight.

Update Sequence
The sequence includes the following stages:
R Loading DVD into the DVD changer
R Update process
i The update process may take between 60
and 150 minutes, depending on the size of
the map software.
If possible, perform the update when the
vehicle is stationary. The DVD read speed
is faster when the vehicle is stationary than
when the vehicle is moving and the update
therefore takes less time. If you perform
the update with the engine off and the
vehicle battery is no longer powerful
enough, COMAND may shut off
automatically during the process to protect
the battery. In this case, restart the update
with the engine running.
You can interrupt the update process and
continue it at later time. If you cancel the
update process, the navigation system is
not ready for operation.
GWarning
Never leave the engine running in an enclosed
space. The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gases constitutes
a health hazard and could lead to loss of
consciousness or even death.
Loading DVDs into DVD Changer
The 6-disc DVD changer is integrated with
COMAND.

on the DVD matches the vehicle's navigation
system and system software.

Route Guidance
General Notes
GWarning
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking into account the
following, for example:
R Traffic lights
R Stop and right-of-way signs
R Lane merging
R Parking or stopping prohibited areas
R Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R Narrow bridges
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map does
not correspond with the actual road/ traffic
situation. For example, if the traffic routing
has been changed or the direction of a one-
way road has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and
regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands
generated by the system.
COMAND guides you to the destination by
means of driving recommendations in the
form of navigation announcements or route
guidance displays.
i The route guidance displays only appear
if the display has been switched to
navigation mode.
If, for some reason, you do not follow the
navigation announcements or if you leave the
calculated route, COMAND automatically
calculates a new route to the destination.
If the map data contains corresponding
information during route guidance, COMAND
tries to avoid roads with limited passability,
e.g. roads that are blocked for through-traffic
and are for residents only.
Driving Maneuver
Driving maneuvers are given in three phases:
R Preparation phase
R Announcement phase
R Maneuver phase
Preparation Phase
COMAND prepares you for the next driving
maneuver. Based on the example display
shown below, the announcement is made
using Prepare to turn right . The display
is not split and displays the map over the
entire width.
