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.
Please make yourself familiar with your

tions in this manual before operating the
COMAND system. This will help you derive
a greater benefit from the system. Please
also follow the instructions and warnings
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-
ment. Depending on model, version and
configuration, your COMAND system
equipment may differ. Therefore, you may
find explanations for optional equipment
not installed in your vehicle. If you have
any questions about the operation of any
equipment, your authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center will be glad to demonstrate
the proper procedures.
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.

Introduction
Operating safety
ꢀ Operating safety
While the navigation system provides direc-
tional assistance, the driver must remain fo-
cused on safe driving behavior, including
attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the system’s audio cues while
driving.
Warning
G
Warning
G
Any alterations made to electronic compo-
nents and the software can cause malfunc-
tions.
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should enter
system settings with the vehicle at a stand-
still and operate the system only when road
and traffic conditions permit.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer, satellite ra-
dio, telephone*, navigation module and
voice control system* are interconnected.
When one of the components is not operati-
onal or has not been removed/replaced pro-
perly, the function of other components may
be impaired.
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
areas nor all routes within an area.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just
30 mp/h (approximately 50 km/h), your car
is covering a distance of 44 feet (approxima-
tely 14 m) every second.
COMAND supplies you with information to
help you select your route more easily and
guide you conveniently and safely to your
destination. For safety reasons, we encoura-
ge the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe
place before answering or placing a call, or
consulting the COMAND screen to read na-
vigational maps, instructions, or downloa-
ded information.
This condition might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service
work on electronic components carried out
only by qualified personnel.

Do not remove the cover. The CD drive and
the CD changer do not contain any parts
which can be serviced by the user. For safe-
ty reasons, have any necessary service work
performed by qualified personnel.
An 8-cm CD adapter may cause dama-

and will damage the drive.
Only use CDs, which bear the label
shown and that conform to the compact

Your CD drive has been designed to
play CDs which correspond to the IEC

not exceeding a thickness of 1.3 mm
can be used.
Warning
G
The CD drive and CD changer are Class 1 la-
ser products. There is a danger of invisible
laser radiation when you open or damage
the cover.
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should insert
CDs with the vehicle at a standstill and
operate the audio system only if permitted
by road, weather and traffic conditions.
The smallest possible data rate for
MP3-CDs is 56 kB/s.
Do not remove the cover. The CD drive and
the CD changer do not contain any parts
which can be serviced by the user. For safe-
ty reasons, have any necessary service work
performed by qualified personnel.
The COMAND does not play back
MP3-CDs containing files with ISO
9660 Level 3 standard. Such MP3 CDs
contain fragmented files.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph

Warning
G
Radio transmitters, such as a portable
telephone or a citizens band unit
should only be used inside the vehicle
if they are connected to a separate ex-
terior antenna that has been approved
by Mercedes-Benz.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle.
Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety
reasons, the driver should not use the mobi-
le phone while the vehicle is in motion. Stop
the vehicle in a safe location before answe-
ring or placing a call.
If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile
phone while driving, please use the hands-
free device and be sure to pay attention to
the traffic situation at all times. Use the mo-
bile phone1 only when road, weather and
traffic conditions permit.
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e.
without being connected to an external an-
tenna) from inside the vehicle while the en-
gine is running. Doing so could lead to
malfunction of the vehicle’s electronic sys-
tems, possibly resulting in an accident and
personal injury.

You should therefore always strictly observe
traffic regulations while driving. Drive care-

signs even if they contradict COMAND in-

Partially digitized areas
Warning
G
i
COMAND guides you through fully digitized
areas for as long as possible. Route
guidance is conducted in the usual
manner, i.e. with navigation announce-
ments and route guidance displays.
Due to incomplete digitization, the route
shown on the map may differ from the actual
road/traffic situation.
The digital map may contain areas that
are only partially digitized although
they are within a digitized region.
If you follow the route shown on the map, for
example, it is possible that you could drive
the wrong way down a one-way street, that
a street cannot be driven on or that the road
is of questionable quality.
Before the vehicle reaches a partially
digitized area, COMAND notifies you of
this with the following announcements:
ț
“Be prepared to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.”
When using route guidance on a unverified
road in a partially digitized area, you must
therefore be sure to observe all relevant
traffic regulations and the course of the
road.
ț
“In 700 feet you will enter an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.”
Drive carefully and keep in mind that all re-
levant traffic regulations and the course of
the road always take priority over the route
shown on the map.
i
The indicated distance can be seen
here by way of example. In reality, it
may be different.

The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of traversing through without
damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver's sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the route. Off-road routes
may be of varying conditions and their ap-
propriateness for use may be affected by va-
rious factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
cannot be judged or taken into considerati-

In these cases, COMAND guides you for as
long as possible with navigation announce-
