9 Introducton Operatng safety Operatng safety Warnng G Warnng G Warnng G Any alteratons made to electronc components and the software can cause malfunctons. The rado, amplfer, satellte rado*, CD changer*, navgaton module*, telephone* and voce control system* are nterconnected. Therefore, when one of the components s not operatonal or has not been removed/ replaced properly, the functon of other components may be mpared. Ths condton mght serously mpar the operatng safety of your vehcle. We recommend that you have any servce work on electronc components carred out by an authorzed Mercedes-Benz Center. In order to avod dstracton whch could lead to an accdent, the drver should enter system settngs wth the vehcle at a standstll and operate the system only when road, weather and traffc condtons permt. Bear n mnd that at a speed of just 30 mph (approxmately 50 km/h), your vehcle s coverng a dstance of 44 feet (approxmately 14 m) every second. COMAND supples you wth nformaton to help you select your route more easly and gude you convenently and safely to your destnaton. For safety reasons, we encourage the drver to stop the vehcle n a safe place before answerng or placng a call, or consultng the COMAND screen to read navgatonal maps, nstructons, or downloaded nformaton. Whle the navgaton system provdes drectonal assstance, the drver must reman focused on safe drvng behavor, ncludng attenton to traffc and street sgns, and should utlze the system's audo cues whle drvng. The navgaton system does not supply any nformaton on stop sgns, yeld sgns, traffc regulatons or traffc safety rules. Ths always remans your personal responsblty when you drve. DVD maps do not cover all areas nor all routes wthn an area. 9

Exceedng ths number, COMAND cannot dsplay all ttles and folders. Track and folder names must contan at least 1 character. Track names may contan up to ffty characters. If a track name exceeds ths character lmt, COMAND wll not be able to dsplay t n full. Track names must have the fle extenson mp3. A perod must appear between the track name and the fle extenson. Example of a correct track name: Track1.mp3 Empty folders or folders contanng data other than MP3 tracks wll not be dsplayed by COMAND. If MP3 fles are stored n the root drectory tself, the root drectory also counts as a folder. COMAND wll then dsplay the root drectory name as a folder name. COMAND does not support ID3 tags.

Warnng G Due to ncomplete dgtzaton, the route shown on the map may dffer from the actual road/traffc stuaton. Warnng G If you follow the route shown on the map, for example, t s possble that you could drve the wrong way down a one-way street or that a street cannot be drven on. When usng route gudance n a partally dgtzed area, you must therefore be sure to observe all relevant traffc regulatons and the course of the road. All relevant traffc regulatons and the course of the road always take prorty over the route shown on the map. If the destnaton s wthn a partally dgtzed area COMAND gudes you through fully dgtzed areas for as long as possble. Route gudance s conducted n the usual manner,.e. wth navgaton announcements and route gudance dsplays. 132

133 Navgaton* Route gudance Before the vehcle reaches a partally dgtzed area, COMAND notfes you of ths wth the followng announcements: Be prepared to enter an area where turn by turn gudance cannot be provded. In 700 feet you wll enter an area where turn by turn gudance cannot be provded. The ndcated dstance can be seen here by way of example. In realty, t may be dfferent. You are about to enter an area where turn by turn gudance cannot be provded. When you call up the nfo menu to ths type of destnaton, ( page 136) the followng data shown there may dffer from the actual stuaton: Estmated tme of arrval Remanng drvng tme to the destnaton Remanng dstance to the destnaton Route gudance wthn a partally dgtzed area If you start route gudance n ths type of area, you wll hear the followng announcement: You are currently n an area where turn by turn gudance cannot be provded. Route gudance s provded by means of a drecton arrow showng the compass headng to the destnaton. COMAND wll not generate automatc navgaton announcements. If you try to call up or repeat an announcement manually, ( page 129) you wll hear the announcement You are currently n an area where turn by turn gudance cannot be provded.. Durng route gudance, the dsplay s dvded. On the rght-hand sde you wll see the drecton arrow showng the compass headng to the destnaton. On the left-hand sde of the dsplay you wll see the map wth the suggested route. The suggested route s hghlghted blue. However, t may not be possble to follow the suggested route because, for example, the road s closed or not open for car traffc. If, durng route gudance, COMAND leads you back nto a fully dgtzed area, route gudance wll smply contnue n the usual manner. 133

134 Navgaton* Route gudance Off-road and off-map Route gudance to an off-road destnaton Warnng G The COMAND navgaton system may drect you to off-road routes that your vehcle may not be capable of traversng through wthout damagng your tres, wheels or vehcle. It s the drver s sole responsblty to determne the sutablty of the route. Off-road routes may be of varyng condtons and ther approprateness for use may be affected by varous factors such as tme of day, tme of year and mmedate weather condtons that cannot be judged or taken nto consderaton by the COMAND system. COMAND can gude you to destnatons wthn the area covered by the dgtal map, even f a destnaton s not located at a road known to the system. These destnatons are shown as off-road destnatons, whch you can enter usng the map, for example. In these cases, COMAND gudes you for as long as possble wth navgaton announcements and dsplays on roads known to the system. Shortly before you reach the last known pont n the dgtzed road network, you wll hear the announcement The destnaton s nearby. Follow the arrow on the dsplay. You wll then see an arrow that ndcates the drecton to the off-road destnaton. When the off-road destnaton s close to the road, Area of dest. reached appears n addton below the arrow. When you leave the last known pont n the dgtzed road network, drecton arrows showng the compass headng to the destnaton gude you. You wll also see the Drecton to destnaton dsplay. Route gudance from an off-road locaton to a destnaton If there s no road avalable on map at current poston of the car, vehcle s off road. COMAND s also able to gude you to a destnaton from such a locaton. At the start of the route gudance, you wll see the Off Road message and a drecton arrow. The drecton arrow shows the compass headng to the actual destnaton. The route s hghlghted blue from the nearest road known to the system. As soon as the vehcle s back on a road known to the system, route gudance contnues n the usual way. 134

135 Navgaton* Route gudance Route gudance from an off-map locaton to a destnaton If the vehcle poston s outsde the area covered by the dgtal map, then the vehcle s n an off-map locaton. COMAND s also able to gude you to a destnaton from such a locaton. At the start of the route gudance, you wll see the Off Map message and a drecton arrow. The drecton arrow shows the compass headng to the actual destnaton. The route s hghlghted blue from the nearest road known to the system. As soon as the vehcle s back on a road known to the system, route gudance contnues n the usual way. Off-road durng route gudance The road layout may dffer from the data on the dgtal map, due to road constructon measures, for example. In such cases, the system cannot allocate the vehcle s poston to the dgtal map and the vehcle s therefore n an off-road poston. The Off Road message and an arrow showng the compass headng to the destnaton appear on the dsplay. As soon as the system can allocate the vehcle poston s to the map agan, route gudance contnues n the usual way. 135
