Digital audio formats)RMP3 (including PCMCIA memory card)RAUXRVideo DVD (PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital
audio formats)
i As some DVDs contain both stereo andmulti-channel audio formats, it may benecessary to set the audio format.
i The LOGIC7® on function of the harman/kardon LOGIC7® Surround Sound systemallows playback of discrete 5.1 and stereorecordings with an optimum surround
sound experience for each passenger. Itenables optimum playback of music andfilms on CD or audio and video DVDs withhigh-resolution surround formats, such asMLP, DTS or Dolby Digital. For ideal soundperception from all seats, LOGIC7®
distributes the 5.1 surround informationover the 12-channel architecture. Thisresults in sound characteristics like thoseintended by the sound engineer when theoriginal was recorded.harman/kardon LOGIC7® converts eachtwo-channel stereo sound source intomulti-channel surround sound. LOGIC7®
reads the surround information storedduring the original recording anddistributes it over the 12 channels. Noeffects are created during the process,anything that was always on the recordingis just made audible again. In addition,harman/kardon LOGIC7® moves theperceived sound source away from theloudspeakers and thereby generates anatural 360° sound experience for everypassenger.
i If you select LOGIC7® off, playback of allrecognized formats is as it is on themedium. Due to the design of the
passenger compartment, an optimumaudio experience cannot be guaranteed forall passengers.

by playing high-quality audio and videoDVDs.RMP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at

for mono signal sources, such as the AMwaveband in radio mode.RIf the radio reception is poor, e.g. in a
tunnel, you should switch off LOGIC7®

and therefore distort the soundtemporarily.ROn some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ fromconventional stereo playback.

Introduction
Vehicle Equipmenti This Operator’s Manual describes all
features, standard or optional, potentiallyavailable for your vehicle at the time ofpurchase. Please be aware that yourvehicle might not be equipped with allfeatures described in this manual.
Safety Instructions
G WarningFor safety reasons, only enter a destinationwhen the vehicle is stationary. When thevehicle is in motion, a passenger shouldenter the destination. Study manual andselect route before driving.Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle iscovering a distance of 44 feet(approximately 14 m) every second.COMAND calculates the route to thedestination without taking account of thefollowing:RTraffic lightsRStop and right-of-way-signs
RLane mergingRParking or stopping prohibited areasROther road and traffic rules and
regulationsRNarrow bridges
G WarningCOMAND may give incorrect navigationcommands if the data in the digital mapdoes not correspond with the actual road/traffic situation. Digital maps do not coverall areas nor all routes within an area. Forexample, if the traffic routing has beenchanged or the direction of a one-way roadhas been reversed.For this reason, you must always observeapplicable road and traffic rules andregulations during your journey. Road andtraffic rules and regulations always havepriority over the navigation commandsgenerated by the system.
G WarningNavigation announcements are intended todirect you while driving without divertingyour attention from the road and driving.Please always use this feature instead ofconsulting the map display for directions.
Consulting the symbols or map display fordirections may cause you to divert yourattention from driving and increase yourrisk of an accident.
Updating the Map Software The digital data for the map software willbecome obsolete, just like conventional roadmaps. Optimum route guidance by thenavigation system is only achieved with up-to-date map software. Information on newmap software versions is available from anauthorized Mercedes-Benz Center.You can have the map software updated thereby means of a DVD or perform the updateprocess yourself.
Notes on DVD DiscsROnly touch the discs at the edges.RHandle the discs with care in order to
prevent reading errors.RAvoid scratching, leaving fingerprints and
dust on the discs.RUse a commercially available cleaning cloth
to clean discs. Always wipe in a straight linefrom the inside outwards, never in a circularmotion.
Navigation
Introduction

RAfter use, put the discs back into the box.RProtect the discs from heat and direct
sunlight.
Update SequenceThe sequence includes the following stages:RLoading DVD into the DVD changerRUpdate process
i The update process may take between 60and 150 minutes, depending on the size ofthe map software.If possible, perform the update when thevehicle is stationary. The DVD read speedis faster when the vehicle is stationary thanwhen the vehicle is moving and the updatetherefore takes less time. If you performthe update with the engine off and thevehicle battery is no longer powerfulenough, COMAND may shut offautomatically during the process to protectthe battery. In this case, restart the updatewith the engine running.You can interrupt the update process andcontinue it at later time. If you cancel theupdate process, the navigation system isnot ready for operation.
G WarningNever leave the engine running in anenclosed space. The exhaust gases containcarbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gasesconstitutes a health hazard and could leadto loss of consciousness or even death.

General Information
Operational Readiness of theNavigation System after the SystemSoftware UpdateSometimes the installed map software is nolonger compatible following a systemsoftware update by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. In this case, the navigationsystem is not operational.X To update map software: Proceed as
described in the “Update Process” section .Use map software compatible with thesystem software.
i Please note that in this case the updatemust run through right to the end. If youcancel beforehand, the navigation systemwill still not be ready for operation.
After start-up or initial start-up, the navigationsystem must perform a position findingoperation. As a result, you may have to drivefor some time until precise route guidancetakes place.
GPS ReceptionThe correct functioning of the navigationsystem is also dependent on the GPSreception. In certain situations, the GPS
reception may be impaired, distorted or evenimpossible, e.g. in tunnels, multi-storey carparks or due to snow on the GPS antenna. Ifthere is snow on the GPS antenna, you shouldremove it. The GPS antenna is at the rear onthe vehicle's roof.
Route Guidance after VehiclesTransportAfter vehicle transport (e.g. by ferry, car trainor by towing) COMAND must determine thevehicle location again.Position finding takes place automaticallywhen the vehicle is driven off again, even ifCOMAND is switched off. The actual length oftime may vary from case to case.While the vehicle is determining its position,route guidance is subject to the followingrestrictions:RNavigation announcements, route
guidance displays and displayed streetnames do not match the actual location.RCOMAND does not issue any navigation
announcements.RThe message Off Mapped Road and a
direction arrow are displayed instead of theroute guidance displays. The arrowindicates the direction of the destination.
Navigation
Z
Introduction
52
i Direction arrow accuracy is alsodependent on correct vehicle positionand/or direction.
Once the position finding operation has beencompleted, route guidance takes place againvia navigation announcements and routeguidance displays.
Interrupting Journey during RouteGuidancei An interruption in the journey means
parking the vehicle and switching offCOMAND.The continuation of the journey meansswitching COMAND on again andcontinuing to drive.
If interrupt the journey during route guidanceand continue it later, the following applies:RIf you continue the journey within 2 hours,
COMAND automatically continues routeguidance.RIf you continue the journey after 2 hours,
route guidance is cancelled. You will haveto continue the cancelled route guidanceagain manually .
Hard Disk DriveCOMAND has an integrated hard drive onwhich the map software is stored.If an area of the hard drive has a fault,COMAND can no longer access the map datain that area for the route calculation, forexample.The message Navigation Unavailable willthen be displayed.X To delete message: Switch COMAND off
and back on again.
i After switching on/off, the navigationsystem will remain functional until it has toaccess the faulty area of the hard driveagain. The message will be displayed again.Contact a Mercedes-Benz service center.
Measurement UnitsThe measurement units displayed innavigation mode are identical to those set inthe instrument cluster.
Input Restriction There is an input restriction for vehicles forcertain countries.The restriction is active for vehicle speedsabove apprx. 3 mph. The restriction isdeactivated as soon as the speed falls belowapprx. 2 mph.Certain entries cannot be made when therestriction is active, e.g. a city or road entry.This is indicated by the fact that certain menuitems cannot be selected.

General Notes
G WarningCOMAND calculates the route to thedestination without taking account of thefollowing, for example:RTraffic lightsRStop and right-of-way signsRLane mergingRParking or stopping prohibited areasROther road and traffic rules and
regulationsRNarrow bridgesCOMAND may give incorrect navigationcommands if the data in the digital mapdoes not correspond with the actual road/traffic situation. For example, if the trafficrouting has been changed or the directionof a one-way road has been reversed.For this reason, you must always observeapplicable road and traffic rules andregulations during your journey. Road andtraffic rules and regulations always havepriority over the navigation commandsgenerated by the system.
COMAND guides you to the destination bymeans of driving recommendations in theform of navigation announcements or routeguidance displays.
i The route guidance displays only appearif the display has been switched tonavigation mode.
If, for some reason, you do not follow thenavigation announcements or if you leave thecalculated route, COMAND automaticallycalculates a new route to the destination.If the map data contains correspondinginformation during route guidance, COMANDtries to avoid roads with limited passability,e.g. roads that are blocked for through-trafficand are for residents only.Time restrictions of roads (e.g. blocked onSundays and public holidays) are only takeninto account for route guidance if the digitalmap contains corresponding informationduring the blocked time periods.
