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.

iLOGIC7® is not an artificial “effects” button. It automatically adapts itself to the incoming source material, adjust-ing the seven outputs based on the original acoustic intent of the studio master.
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.

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.
