Welcome to COMAND!
Please make yourself familiar with your
COMAND control unit and read the instruc-
tions in this manual before operating the
COMAND system. This will help you derive
a greater benefit from the system. Please

contained in this manual. Ignoring them
could result in damage to the vehicle or
personal injury to you or others.
The asterisk* identifies optional equip-

you have any questions about the operati-
on of any equipment, your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center will be glad to de-
monstrate the proper procedures. We continuously strive to improve our pro-
duct and ask for your understanding that
we reserve the right to make changes in
design and equipment. Therefore, informa-
tion, illustrations and descriptions in this
manual might differ from the equipment in-
stalled in your vehicle. As such, the infor-
mation, illustrations and descriptions
contained in this manual may not be reaso-
nably relied upon in making any claims
with respect to the actual performance of
the product.
These operating instructions form an inte-
gral part of the vehicle and should there-
fore always be kept inside the vehicle and
passed on to the new owner if the vehicle
is sold.
We extend our best wishes for many miles
of safe, pleasurable driving.
