COMAND introduction
COMAND operating safety
COMAND (Cockpit Management and Data
System) is an information and operating
center for vehicle sound and communications
systems, including the radio and navigation
system, as well as other optional equipment
(satellite radio, telephone, etc.).
G
Warning!
Any alteration of electronic components or
software can cause malfunctions.
Radio, satellite radio, amplifier, CD/DVD
changer, navigation module, telephone and
Voice Control Systems are interconnected.
Therefore, if one of the components is not
operational, or has not been removed/
replaced properly, the function of other
components could be impaired.
Such conditions might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend to have any service work
on electronic components carried out by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
G
Warning!
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should enter
system settings while the vehicle is at a
standstill, and operate the system only
when permitted by road, weather and
traffic conditions.
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 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
encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in
a safe place before answering or placing a
call, or consulting the COMAND screen to
read navigational maps, instructions, or
downloaded information.
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
Control systems
