Introduction

Safety Instructions

G

WARNING

For safety reasons, only enter a destination

when the vehicle is stationary. When the

vehicle 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 (approximately

14 m) every second.
COMAND calculates the route to the

destination without taking account of the

following:

R

Traffic lights

R

Stop and right-of-way-signs

R

Lane merging

R

Parking or stopping prohibited areas

R

Other road and traffic rules and regulations

R

Narrow bridges

G

WARNING

COMAND may give incorrect navigation

commands if the data in the digital map does

not correspond with the actual road/traffic

situation. Digital 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

regulations during your journey. Road and

traffic rules and regulations always have

priority over the navigation commands

generated by the system.

G

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

attention from driving and increase your risk

of an accident.

Updating the Map Software

The digital data for the map software will

become obsolete, just like conventional road

maps. Optimum route guidance by the

navigation system is only achieved with up-

to-date map software. Information on new

map software versions is available from an

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
You can have the map software updated there

by means of a DVD or perform the update

process yourself.

R

R
