9 Introduction
Operating safety

Operating safety
WarningG
Any alterations made to electronic compo-
nents and the software can cause malfunc-
tions.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer*, satellite
radio*, telephone* and navigation module
are interconnected. When one of the com-
ponents is not operational or has not been
removed/replaced properly, the function of
other components may be impaired.
This condition might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service
work on electronic components carried out
only by qualified personnel.
WarningG
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 mp/h (approximately 50 km/h), your car
is covering a distance of 44 feet (approxima-
tely 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 encoura-
ge the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe
place before answering or placing a call, or
consulting the COMAND screen to read na-
vigational maps, instructions, or downloa-
ded information.
While the navigation system provides direc-
tional assistance, the driver must remain fo-
cused 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.

General information on CD operation
WarningG
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should insert
CDs 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
m.p.h. (approximately 50 km/h), your car
covers a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
Health hazardG
The CD drive and CD changer* are Class 1
laser products. There is a danger of invisible
laser radiation when you open or damage
the cover.
Do not remove the cover. The CD drive and
the CD changer* do not contain any parts
which can be serviced by the user. For safe-
ty reasons, have any necessary service work
performed by qualified personnel.
i
Only use CDs, which bear the label
shown and that conform to the compact
standard (IEC 60908). You can
therefore only use CDs with a maximum
thickness of 1.3 mm.
i
The system may not be able to
play CDs with copy protection or
copied CDs.
!
Use only CDs with a diameter of 12 cm,
do not use 8-cm CDs.
An 8-cm CD adapter may cause
damage to the CD drive and to the CD
changer* and should not be used.
i
Your CD drive has been designed to
play CDs which correspond to the IEC
60908 standard.
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.

Tips on data storage media
!
Do not attach labels of any type to the
CD. They may become detached and
damage the drive.
!
Your CD drive has been designed to
play CDs which correspond to the IEC
60908 standard. Therefore only CDs
not exceeding a thickness of 1.3 mm
can be used.
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 will become stuck and
damage the drive.
Do not play single CDs (80mm) with an
adapter. An adapter could become
stuck and damage the drive. Only use
12 cm diameter CDs.

Tips on caring for your DVDs
Treat DVDs with care to prevent
malfunctions during playback.
Do not scratch, touch or soil your
DVDs.
Do not attach labels to or write on your
DVDs.
From time to time, clean your DVDs
with a commercially available cleaning
cloth. Never wipe circularly, but in a
straight line from inside to outside.
After use, put your DVDs into the DVD
box.
Protect your DVDs from high
temperatures and direct sunlight.
WarningG
The RSE CD/DVD player is a Class 1 laser
product. There is a danger of invisible laser
radiation when you open or damage the cov-
er.
Do not remove the cover. The RSE CD/DVD
player does not contain any parts which can
be serviced by the user. For safety reasons,
have any necessary service work performed
by qualified personnel.
WarningG
The driver should not wear a Rear Seat
Entertainment headset while operating the
vehicle under any circumstances. The use of
a headset while driving the vehicle could
drastically impair the ability to react to
audible traffic conditions (e.g. emergency
sirens from police/fire/ambulance, another
driver’s horn, etc.).
WarningG
When not in use, headsets or external video
sources should be stored in a safe location
(e.g. one of the vehicle’s storage
compartments) so that they are not loose
within the passenger compartment during
braking, vehicle maneuvers or a traffic
accident. Objects moving within the
passenger compartment could cause
serious personal injury to vehicle
occupants.
WarningG
Due to a potential choking hazard, wired
headset usage by children should only occur
with adult supervision.
