Safety precautions

Warning!

Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from using a cellular telephone while driving. Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety reasons, the driver should not use the cellu- lar telephone while the vehicle is in motion. Stop the vehicle in a safe location before placing or answering a call.

If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile phone1 while driving, please use the hands- free feature and be sure to pay attention to the traffic situation at all times. Use the mo- bile phone only when road, weather and traf- fic conditions permit. Otherwise, you may not be able to observe traffic conditions and could endanger yourself and others.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approxima- tely 14 m) every second.

1 Observe all legal requirements.

120

Warning!

Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. with- out being connected to an external antenna) from inside the vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so could lead to a malfunc- tion of the vehicle’s electronic system, pos- sibly resulting in an accident and/or personal injury.

General notes

Calls disconnected while the vehicle is in motion A call may be disconnected if: 앫 there is insufficient network coverage 앫 you move from one transmitter/receiv- er area (cell) into another and no chan- nels are free or the cell is full

Operating options

i The components and operating principles of COMAND can be found on (컄 page 81) and (컄 page 89).

i Various mobile phone cradles can be in- stalled in the front center armrest, see separate installation instructions for the mobile phone cradle. These mobile phone cradles can be ob- tained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen- ter. For more information about telephone (컄 page 479). When the mobile phone is inserted in the cradle, you can operate the telephone us- ing the following devices: 앫 mobile phone keypad 앫 COMAND telephone keypad 앫 buttons s and t on the multi- function steering wheel (컄 page 257)

앫 Voice Control (컄 page 278) 앫 Bluetooth® headset (컄 page 136)

Please note that these functions are only available with Mercedes-Benz approved mobile phones. Please contact an autho- rized Mercedes-Benz Center for informa- tion on features available for your mobile phone of choice. You can control other functions of the mo- bile phone via the COMAND, instrument cluster control system (컄 page 265) or Voice Control.

i In order for the functions described in this section to work correctly, the Bluetooth® head- set must be linked to COMAND (컄 page 232). Please make sure any Bluetooth® headset linked with the mobile phone is switched off or that the headset is linked with COMAND before you in- sert the mobile phone in the cradle (컄 page 479) and use the telephone functions with COMAND.

The descriptions in this section assume that the mobile phone is inserted in the cradle. Exceptions to this are clearly stat- ed. Unless otherwise indicated, the descrip- tions and illustrations in this section refer to COMAND and the telephone keypad.

Operation using the mobile phone and Bluetooth® headset is described in the re- spective separate Operating Instructions.

Caller ID COMAND can display the telephone num- ber and the name of the caller, e.g. for an incoming call and also in other menus or displays. For the telephone number to be displayed, the caller must transmit their telephone number. This is also the case for name displays. For this, the telephone number and the name of the caller must also be saved in the mo- bile phone book.

COMAND may give incorrect navigation commands if the data in the digital map does not correspond with the actual road/traffic situation. DVD 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 regula- tions during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the navigation commands generated by the system.

Warning!

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 at- tention from driving and increase your risk of an accident.

Control systems COMAND navigation

Safety precautions

Warning!

For safety reasons, only enter a destination when the vehicle is stationary. When the ve- hicle 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 (approximate- ly 14 m) every second.

COMAND calculates the route to the desti- nation without taking account of the follow- ing, for example: 앫 Traffic lights 앫 Stop and right-of-way signs 앫 Parking or stopping prohibited areas 앫 Lane merging 앫 Other road and traffic rules and regula-

tions

앫 Narrow bridges

왔 COMAND navigation (introduction) Map software

Updating the map software

The digital maps generated by the map software become outdated in the same way as conventional road maps. Optimum route guidance can only be provided by the navigation system in conjunction with the most up-to-date map software. Information about new map software ver- sions can be obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

You can update the map software yourself using a DVD.

Notes about handling DVDs 앫 Only hold discs by the edge. 앫 Handle discs carefully to prevent read

problems.

앫 Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints

and dust on discs.

앫 Use a commercially-available cleaning cloth to clean discs. Do not wipe them with a circular motion, but only in straight lines from the center out- wards.

앫 Place discs back in their boxes after

use.

앫 Protect discs from heat and direct sun-

light.

Updating process

The updating process has the following phases: 앫 Loading a DVD into the DVD changer

(컄 page 150)

앫 Updating process (컄 page 151)

i The updating process can take between 10 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the map software. If the radio was switched on be- fore you started the updating process, you can still adjust the volume. You can also use COMAND to operate the automatic air condition- ing and to cancel the process. Other functions are not operational. If possible, carry out the update when the vehicle is stationary.

149

Control systems COMAND navigation (introduction)

i If you carry out the update with the engine switched off and the vehicle battery has insuffi- cient power, COMAND may automatically switch off during the process in order to protect the bat- tery. If this occurs, restart the update with the engine running period. Similarly, if the SmartKey position is unintentionally switched to 0, restart the update.

Warning!

Never leave the engine running in an en- closed space. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gases constitutes a health hazard and could lead to loss of consciousness or even death.

General notes

Operational readiness of the navigation system following a system software update by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center After a system software update by an au- thorized Mercedes-Benz Center, the in- stalled map software may no longer be compatible. If this is the case, the naviga- tion system will not be operational. You will know if this is the case, when the following message will appear when you switch to navigation mode: “The system software has been updated. The map soft- ware must be updated now. Please insert the DVD with the map software.” 왘 Updating map software: Proceed as

described in the “Updating the map software” section (컄 page 149). Use map software which is compatible with the system software.

i Please note that the update must be allowed to run to the end in this case. If you interrupt it, the navigation system will continue to be non-op- erational.

Initial use or use following a system software update In both these cases, the navigation system must determine the position of the vehicle. You may have to drive for a while before precise route guidance is possible.

GPS reception Correct functioning of the navigation sys- tem depends on GPS reception, among other things. In certain situations, GPS re- ception may be impaired, there may be in- terference or no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels, in multistory parking garages or there is snow covering the trunk lid where the GPS antenna is located. If there is snow on the trunk lid it should be removed.

Route guidance after vehicle transpor- tation COMAND has to redetermine the position of the vehicle if the vehicle has been trans- ported (e.g. by ferry, by train or after tow- ing). Positioning takes place automatically even when COMAND is switched off. The dura- tion varies from one case to another. Route guidance may be restricted as fol- lows during vehicle positioning: 앫 Navigation announcements, route

guidance displays and displayed street names are not consistent with the ac- tual location of the vehicle.

앫 COMAND does not generate navigation

announcements.

앫 Instead of the route guidance displays, you see the “Off Road” display and a di- rection arrow. The direction arrow shows the compass heading to the des- tination.

153

Input restrictions

The input restrictions are imposed starting at a particular vehicle speed. The restric- tions are canceled as soon as the speed drops below a certain value. When the restriction is active, certain oper- ations or entries are not possible. You will notice this by the fact that some menu items cannot be selected or certain operations will not be possible.

Control systems COMAND navigation (introduction)

When positioning is complete, route guid- ance is once again possible using naviga- tion announcements and route guidance displays.

Interrupting the journey during route guidance The following applies if you interrupt the journey during route guidance and contin- ue the journey later: 앫 COMAND resumes route guidance au- tomatically if you continue the journey within 2 hours.

앫 Route guidance is canceled if you con-

tinue the journey after more than 2 hours. It will be necessary to resume the canceled route guidance manually (컄 page 203).

i The journey is interrupted if you park the ve- hicle and switch off COMAND. The journey is continued when you switch COMAND back on and start driving on.

Hard disk errors COMAND has an integrated hard disk on which the map software is saved. If an area of the hard disk has an error, COMAND can no longer access the map data in this area, for example, when calcu-
