Multi session CDs
With multisession CDs, the content of the
first session determines how COMAND
treats the CD.
For example, if the first session contains
data in audio CD format and the second
session contains data in MP3 format,
COMAND will treat the CD as a
conventional audio CD.

audio data to CDs vary widely.
Therefore, we cannot guarantee that

General information on DVD operation
WarningG
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should insert
DVDs with the vehicle at a standstill and
operate the audio system only if permitted
by road, weather and traffic conditions.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
every second.
WarningG
The CD/DVD drive is a Class 1 laser pro-
ducts. There is a danger of invisible laser ra-
diation when you open or damage the cover.
Do not remove the cover. The CD/DVD drive
does not contain any parts which can be ser-
viced by the user. For safety reasons, have
any necessary service work performed by
qualified personnel.
i
Your CD/DVD drive has been designed
to play CDs/DVDs which correspond to
the IEC 60908 standard. You can there-
fore only use CDs with a maximum
thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g.
ones that have data on both sides (one
side with DVD data, the other side with
audio data), they cannot be ejected and
will damage the drive.
!
The COMAND system is capable of
playing DVDs. However, in order to
avoid driver distraction, the video func-
tion is disabled and no images will be
shown on the COMAND screen.
