Risk of accident
Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions.
Only use COMAND or the telephone when the
road and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only
50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of
nearly 14 m per second. The navigation sys-
tem will not provide you with information
about stop signs, give-way signs, traffic regu-
lations or road safety features. It is up to you
to pay attention to these while driving the
vehicle. Only enter a new destination when
the vehicle is stationary.
COMAND has a radio included as part of the
audio functions.
This radio receiver is suitable for operation by
all persons in accordance with the valid EC
directive.
The device conforms to currently applicable
European or harmonised national standards.
Therefore, adherence to the relevant specifi-
cations for electromagnetic compatibility is
guaranteed for this device.
As a result, interference caused by your
equipment with other electrical/electronic
equipment and interference with your equip-
ment caused by other electrical/electronic
equipment can be largely prevented.
The equipment is approved by the vehicle
manufacturer in accordance with European
Automotive EMC Directive 95/54/EC. There-
fore, operation according to its intended pur-
pose is approved for your vehicle. The equip-
ment does not require certification.

ments according to the following European

nected. Electronic malfunctions can seri-
ously jeopardise the operational safety of
your vehicle.

cialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Daimler recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
