Important safety notes

G

WARNING

Making alterations to electronic components

can cause malfunctions.
Radio, satellite radio, amplifier, DVD changer,

navigation module, phone and voice control

are networked. If one component is not

functional or if it has been incorrectly

removed/replaced, this could impair the

operation of other components.
This could seriously jeopardize the

operational safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you always have

maintenance work on electronic components

carried out at an authorized Mercedes-Benz

Center.

G

WARNING

In order to avoid distraction which could lead

to an accident, the driver should only enter

system settings with the vehicle at a standstill

and operate the system only when road,

weather and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph

(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers

a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) per

second.
COMAND delivers information to simplify

your choice of route and guide you

comfortably and safely to your destination.

For safety reasons, we recommend that you

bring your vehicle to a standstill, paying

attention to road and traffic conditions,

before making or accepting a telephone call

or viewing navigation maps, instructions or

downloaded information on the COMAND

screen.

G

WARNING

While the navigation system provides

directional assistance, the driver must remain

focused on safe driving behavior, especially

attention to traffic and street signs, and

should utilize the system's audio cues while

driving.

The navigation system does not supply any

information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic

regulations or traffic safety rules. Their

observance always remains in the driver's

personal responsibility. DVD maps do not

cover all areas nor all routes within an area.
