Warning G

While the navigation system provides direc-tional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including 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. This al-ways remains your personal responsibility when you drive. DVD maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area.

mend that you have any service electronic components carried out horized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Warning G

In order to avoid distraction which could lead to an accident, the driver should enter system settings with the vehicle at a stand-still and operate the system only when road, weather and traffic conditions permit.

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 supplies you with information to help you select your route more easily and guide you conveniently and safely to your destination. For safety reasons, we encour-age the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe place before answering or placing a call, or consulting the COMAND screen to read nav-igational maps, instructions, or downloaded information.

harman/kardon LOGIC7® creates a true 360-degree “enveloping” sound-field with a maximum “audio sweet-spot” for all passengers.

harman/kardon LOGIC7® sets a new benchmark in musical clarity and sepa-ration, giving the listener the impres-sion of actually “being there”.

LOGIC7® playback works with all con-ventional stereo audio sources (e.g. stereo CD or stereo radio). If the radio reception is poor, the sys-tem should be switched back to Stan-dard stereo playback. Switching back to Standard stereo playback may im-prove reception quality.

� Scan rates from 24 kHz - 48 kHz

iIn everyday speech, this format has been replaced by the designation “MP3”.

iIt is recommended to use MP3 tracks with a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher and with a scan rate of 44.1 kHz or higher. Lower rates may impair quality. This is particularly true if the Sound function* LOGIC7 Surround has been activated.

iOnce the cellular phone is inserted into the telephone cradle, it can be operat-ed:

� using the cellular phone itself,

� using the COMAND control unit,

� using the multifunction steering wheel, or

� using the voice control system*.

Descriptions in this Operator’s Manual presume that the cellular phone is in-serted into the telephone cradle.

!Radio transmitters, such as a portable telephone or a citizens band unit, should only be used inside the vehicle if they are connected to a separate exte-rior antenna approved by Mercedes-Benz.

� Make sure that the air vents are not pointed in the direction of the micro-phones located in the overhead control panel near the rear view mirror. Adjust air vents and/or reduce blower speed if necessary.

If you follow the route shown on the map, for example, it is possible that you could drive the wrong way down a one-way street or that a street cannot be driven on.

When using route guidance in a partially dig-itized area, you must therefore be sure to observe all relevant traffic regulations and the course of the road.

All relevant traffic regulations and the course of the road always take priority over the route shown on the map.

COMAND can guide you to destinations within the area covered by the digital map, even if a destination is not located at a road known to the system.

These destinations are shown as off-road destinations, which you can enter using the map, for example.

In these cases, COMAND guides you for as long as possible with navigation announce-ments and displays on roads known to the system.

Shortly before you reach the last known point in the digitized road network, you will hear the announcement “The destination is nearby. Follow the arrow on the display”.

You will then see an arrow that indicates the direction to the off-road destination. When the off-road destination is close to the road, Area of dest. reached appears in addition below the arrow.
