Important safety notes
GWARNING
Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions.
Only use COMAND Online or the telephone
when the road and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only
50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of
nearly 14 m per second. The navigation sys-
tem does not provide you with information
about stop signs, give way signs, traffic regu-
lations or road safety features. It is up to you
to pay attention to these while driving the
vehicle. Only enter a new destination when
the vehicle is stationary.
Declarations of conformity
Wireless vehicle components
The following information applies to all com-
ponents of the vehicle and the COMAND
Online system which receive and/or transmit
radio waves:
The components of this vehicle which receive
and/or transmit radio waves are compliant
with the basic requirements and other rele-
vant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You
can obtain further information from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Electromagnetic compatibility
The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehi-
cle components has been checked and certi-
fied according to the currently valid version
of Directive ECE-R 10.
Correct use
Observe the following information when using
COMAND Online:
Rthe safety notes in this manual
Rtraffic rules and regulations
Rlaws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles
iImproper work on electronic components
or other systems (e.g. radio, DVD changer)
and their software may result in malfunc-
tion or failure. Even systems that have not
been modified could be affected because
the electronic systems are connected.
Electronic malfunctions can seriously jeop-
ardise the operational safety of your vehi-
cle.
iThe functionality of a roof aerial (tele-
phone, GPS) may be impaired if roof carrier
systems are used.
Attaching metallised retrofit film to the
windscreen may affect radio reception and
have a negative impact on all other aerials
(e.g. emergency aerial) in the vehicle inte-
rior.
iOnly have work or changes to electronic
components carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. This workshop should
have the necessary specialist knowledge
and tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. In partic-
ular, work relevant to safety or on safety-
related systems must be carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
iProtection against theft: this device is
equipped with technical provisions to pro-
tect it against theft. Further information on
protection against theft can be obtained
from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Data stored in the vehicle
A wide range of electronic components in
your vehicle contain data memories.
358 Operating safety
COMAND Online
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:
Rthe vehicle's operating state
Revents
Rfaults
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
Roperating conditions of system compo-
nents, e.g. fluid levels
Rthe vehicle's status messages and those of
its individual components, e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in
movement, lateral acceleration, accelera-
tor pedal position
Rmalfunctions and defects in important sys-
tem components, e.g. lights, brakes
Rvehicle reactions and operating conditions
in special driving situations, e.g. airbag
deployment, intervention of stability con-
trol systems
Rambient conditions, e.g. outside tempera-
ture
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
Rassist in recognising and rectifying faults
and defects
Ranalyse vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
Roptimise vehicle functions
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor-
mation can be read from the event data mem-
ory and fault data memory.
Services include, for example:
Rrepair services
Rservice processes
Rwarranties
Rquality assurance
It is read by employees of the service network
(including manufacturers) using special diag-
nostic testers. More detailed information is
obtained from it, if required.
After a fault has been rectified, the informa-
tion is deleted from the fault memory or is
continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are
conceivable in which this technical data, in
connection with other information (if neces-
sary, under consultation with an authorised
expert), could be traced to a person.
Examples include:
Raccident reports
Rdamage to the vehicle
Rwitness statements
Further additional functions that have been
contractually agreed upon with the customer
allow certain vehicle data to be conveyed by
the vehicle as well. The additional functions
include, for example, vehicle location in case
of an emergency.
Qualified specialist workshop
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops in the vehicle Owner's Manual.

SplitView
Method of operation
SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND Online functions on the
front-passenger side and on the driver's side.
Different content is seen depending on your
perspective when viewing the display.
The "Navi" function, for example, can be used
from the driver's side while a video is watched
from the front-passenger side.
SPLITVIEW is operated with the COMAND
remote control from the front-passenger
side.
To do so, use the cordless headphones. Using
the headphones on the correct sides ensures
an optimal sound.
You can connect your own headphones to a
special headphones jack. You can use the
COMAND remote control to operate them.
364 At a glance
COMAND Online
Points to remember
RYou can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the head-
phones.
ROnly entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW.
RIf media from different sources are used,
they can be used separately from the driv-
er's and front-passenger sides. Example: if
a medium from the DVD changer is being
played on the driver's side. Then, no other
medium can be used separately on the
front-passenger side that is also played
from the DVD changer. However, other
media can be used at the same time on the
front-passenger side, including radio,
memory card, MUSIC REGISTER, Media
Interface, USB or AUX.
RIf you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings.
RThe Internet can be separately used by both
the driver and front passenger at the same
time. A corresponding message appears on
the display.
RInternet can only be used, if it is set and
connected via a telephone on the driver's
side.
RThe multifunction steering wheel can only
be used for functions which relate to the
driver's side.

Make sure that no persons or animals are in
the manoeuvring range. Otherwise, they
could be injured.
Overview
The 360° camera covers the immediate sur-
roundings of the vehicle and assists you, for
instance when parking or at exits with
reduced visibility. It detects moving objects
and displays these objects on the ground
using bars.
For a detailed description of the 360° cam-
era, see the separate vehicle Owner's Man-
ual.

Features of your COMAND Online
These operating instructions describe all
standard and optional equipment available
for your COMAND Online system at the time
of purchase. Country-specific differences are
possible. Please note that your
COMAND Online system may not be equip-
ped with all the features described. This is
also the case for systems and functions rele-
vant to safety. Therefore, the equipment on
your COMAND Online system may differ from
that in the descriptions and illustrations.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Introduction
Important safety notes
GWARNING
For safety reasons, only enter a new destina-
tion when the vehicle is stationary. You may
otherwise be distracted from the traffic con-
ditions, cause an accident and injure yourself
and others.
COMAND Online calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the fol-
lowing, for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and give way signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rother road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND Online may give incorrect driving
recommendations if the data on the digital
map does not correspond to actual condi-
tions. For example, a route may have been
diverted or the direction of a one-way street
may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over the system's driving
recommendations.
General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system
In vehicles for certain countries, the naviga-
tion system is not operational immediately
after delivery. The digital map is not pre-
installed.
If this is the case, the following message
appears in the display after you switch to nav-
igation mode:
Please insert DVD number
<<xxxxx_xx>>.
XTo install the digital map:(Y page 420).
The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
whenever operational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible.
GPS reception
Correct functioning of the navigation system
depends, amongst other things, on GPS
reception. In certain situations, GPS recep-
tion may be impaired, there may be interfer-
ence or there may be no reception at all, e.g.
in tunnels or multi-storey car parks.
iThe functionality of a roof aerial (tele-
phone, GPS) may be impaired if roof carri-
ers are used.
Entry restriction
For vehicles in certain countries, there is a
data entry restriction.
The restriction is active above a vehicle speed
of about 5 km/h. The restriction is deactiva-
ted as soon as the vehicle speed drops below
about 3 km/h.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. This will be indicated by the
fact that certain menu items are greyed out
and cannot be selected.

Dynamic route guidance
Introduction
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits RDS-
TMC traffic reports in addition to the radio
programme. COMAND Online can receive
RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them into
consideration for dynamic (traffic-depend-
ent) route guidance. The navigation system
can, for example, guide you around a traffic
jam.
In Germany, COMAND Online uses high-qual-
ity traffic data for the TMCpro traffic jam
warning system. TMCPro provides exclusive
traffic data that is detected with an automa-
ted sensor network, in addition to the mes-
sages generated by the TMC service. The traf-
fic data received from the traffic jam warning
services named above could differ.
There may also be differences between the
traffic reports received and the actual road
and traffic conditions.
The respective traffic data being received
appears at the bottom right of the display with
the symbols "TMCPro" or "TMC". If there is no
reception, no symbol is displayed.
iRDS-TMC is not available in all countries.

General notes
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Operating communications equipment inte-
grated into the vehicle while driving will dis-
tract you from traffic conditions. You could
then lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk
of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con-
ditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe
location and make entries only while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
GWARNING
If you use the RF transmitter in the vehicle in
an improper way, its electromagnetic radia-
tion can disrupt vehicle electronics, e.g. if:
Rthe RF transmitter is not connected to an
exterior aerial
Rthe exterior aerial is fitted incorrectly or is
not a low-reflection aerial
This can jeopardise the operating safety of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior aerial fitted at
a qualified specialist workshop. When oper-
ating in the vehicle, always connect the RF
transmitter to the low-reflection exterior aer-
ial.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating mobile communications
equipment in the vehicle.

Z
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others.
There is scientific discussion surrounding the
possible health risks posed by electromag-
netic fields. You can reduce this risk by using
an exterior aerial.
Therefore, only use mobile communication
equipment if it is connected to the exterior
aerial of the vehicle.

when making calls. He can transfer the
call to the COMAND telephone.
Both telephones can be used independ-
ently of each other.
ROperation with one telephone
A mobile phone is either connected with
COMAND Online as a COMAND telephone
or with the Rear Seat Entertainment Sys-
tem as a business telephone. A call can be
transferred from front to rear or from rear
424 Telephone
COMAND Online
to front. Only one call can be made at a
time.
Disconnecting a call while the vehicle is

A call may be disconnected if:
Rthere is insufficient GSM network coverage
in certain areas
Ryou move from one GSM or UMTS trans-
mitter/receiver area (GSM/UMTS cell) into
another and no channels are free
Ryou use a SIM card that is not compatible
with the network available
Ryou are using a mobile phone with "Twin-

ond SIM card is logged into the network at
the same time
Operating options
You can operate the telephone by:
Rusing the controller:
turning
sliding XVY or ZVÆ
pressing
Rusing the 6 or ~ button and using
the telephone keypad on COMAND Online

Mobile phone not in range, but

The Bluetooth® telephones list shows all
mobile phones within range and all previously
authorised mobile phones, whether or not
they are in range.
iMobile phones that are connected to the
optional data-enabled MB SAP module are
shown in a separate phone list. These are
found below the entry Telephones of
the SAP module.
iCOMAND Online cannot recognise
mobile phones on which Bluetooth® visibil-
ity has not been activated, even if they are
within range.
iIf the Bluetooth® telephones list is already
full, you will be requested to de-authorise a
mobile phone (Y page 430). If COMAND
Online does not find your mobile phone,
external authorisation may be necessary
(Y page 429).
iWhen you call up the phone list again, de-
authorised devices will be removed from
the list. In this case, start a new search to
update the Bluetooth® telephone list.
Authorising (registering) a mobile phone
Option 1: using the passkey (access num-
ber)
XTo select the mobile phone with the Ï
symbol in the Bluetooth® telephones list:
turn the controller and press to confirm.
The input menu for the passkey appears.
The passkey is any one to sixteen-digit num-
ber combination which you can choose your-
self. You must enter the same number com-
bination in COMAND Online and in the Blue-
tooth®-capable mobile phone (see the mobile
phone operating instructions).
iSome mobile phones require a passkey
with four or more digits.
iIf you wish to re-authorise the mobile
phone after de-authorising it, you can
choose another passkey for it.
iMercedes-Benz recommends de-authori-
sation in COMAND Online and on the
mobile phone (Y page 430). Subsequent
authorisation may otherwise fail.
XTo enter a passkey in COMAND Online:
press the number keys in turn.
¬ is highlighted after the first number
has been entered.
XTo select ¬ after entering all numbers:
turn the controller and press to confirm.

XEnter the same passkey in the mobile
phone as the one already entered in
COMAND Online.
The Connecting profiles... message
appears.
The Authorisation successful mes-
sage appears once authorisation is com-
pleted.
iAfter entering the passkey, you may also
need to enter a confirmation in your mobile
phone in order to make calls. Please check
your mobile phone display. On some mobile
phones, this confirmation can be saved. In
this case, you do not need to enter it again.
If the COMAND Online display shows the
Authorisation failed message, you
may have exceeded the prescribed time
period. Repeat the procedure.
The mobile phone is authorised and connec-
ted to COMAND Online. You can now make
phone calls using the COMAND Online hands-
free system.
Option 2: using Secure Simple Pairing
PREREQUISITE:
To connect via Secure Simple Pairing, the
mobile phone (or Bluetooth® audio equip-
ment) must support Bluetooth® Version 2.1.
COMAND Online creates a six-digit code,
which is displayed on both devices that are to
be connected.
If the number code is the same on both devi-
ces:
XTo select Yes: press the controller.
If you select Yes, authorisation is continued
and the mobile phone is connected.
If you select No, the process will be cancel-
led.
XConfirm the message on the mobile phone.

If COMAND Online does not detect your
mobile phone, this may be due to particular
security settings on your mobile phone. In this
case, you can test if your mobile phone can
find COMAND Online. The Bluetooth® device
name of COMAND Online is "MB Bluetooth".
After entering the passkey, you must re-
establish the connection to COMAND Online
on some mobile phones (see mobile phone
operating instructions). The mobile phone
cannot otherwise be authorised.
