Welcome to the world of Mercedes-Benz
First, familiarize yourself with your COMAND
system. Read these operating instructions,
particularly the safety and warning notes,
before you drive off.
This will help you to obtain the maximum
pleasure from your COMAND system and to
avoid endangering yourself and others.
The equipment level and functions of your
COMAND system may differ depending on:
R model
R order
R country specification
R availability
Mercedes-Benz therefore reserves the right
to introduce changes to the following:
R design
R equipment
R technical features
The equipment in your vehicle may therefore
differ from that shown in the descriptions and
illustrations.
Consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
if you have further questions.
The Operator's Manual and all supplements
are integral parts of the vehicle. You should
always keep it in the vehicle and pass it on to
the new owner if you sell the vehicle.
The technical documentation team at
Daimler AG wishes you safe and pleasant
motoring.
