Setting the brightness
:
Brightness of the instrument cluster light-
ing
; Brightness of the COMAND display
X To brighten or dim: turn:or; to the
right or to the left.
i If Night View Assist Plus* is activated,
only the brightness of the multi-function
display is adjusted with control :.
Display design When the default settings are selected, the
display automatically switches between day
design and night design.
You can change these settings using
COMAND (Y
page 161). SPLITVIEW*
SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-
passenger side and on the driver's side.
Depending on the viewing angle of the display
(from the driver's seat or from the front-
passenger seat), you will see two different
displays.
For example, the "Navi" function can be used
from the driver's side while the "Video" func-
tion is used on the front-passenger side.
To operate COMAND from the front-
passenger side with SPLITVIEW, use the remote control and the special infrared head-
phones for the front passenger.
Please bear the following in mind: R
Volume adjustment on the headphones for
the front-passenger side can only be car-
ried out on the headphones. Before putting
on the headphones, make certain that the
volume has not been set too high.
R You can only use media from the driver's
and front-passenger sides separately if the
media are from different sources. Example:
on the driver's side, an audio CD is being
played on the DVD changer*. This means
that on the front-passenger side, the DVD
changer* cannot be used to play a different
medium, for instance a video DVD. How-
ever, 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*.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings.
R There must be intervisibility between the
headphones and the display so that
COMAND can optimally transmit music and
speech via the infrared signal on the front-
passenger's headphones. For this reason,
please also observe that the headphones
have left and right sides, and use them cor-
rectly.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV* and video, may be used separately with
SPLITVIEW.
R The multi-function steering wheel can only
used for functions which relate to the driv-
er's side. Introduction

Notes on handling DVDs R
Only hold DVDs by the edge.
R Handle DVDs carefully to prevent reading
errors.
R Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and
dust on DVDs.
R Use a commercially-available cleaning
cloth to clean discs. Do not wipe them with
a circular motion, but only in straight lines
from the centre outwards.
R Place DVDs back in their cases after use.
R Protect DVDs from heat and direct sunlight.
Map software copy protection Map software for COMAND is subject to a
charge. The map software has just one acti-
vation code which is usable in one vehicle
only, and is not transferable. You can obtain
the six digit activation code from your
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. If you have
lost the activation code, or if COMAND does
not accept the activation code that you have
received, ask at your Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
Your vehicle is supplied with map software at
the factory. Depending on the country, the
map software for your region is either pre-
installed (Europe/USA), or the map software
is provided on a DVD (all other countries). You
do not require an activation code for the map
software that is provided with your vehicle. If the map software on your vehicle has been
installed at the factory and you wish to rein-
stall it, this also does not necessitate entry of
the activation code.
Installation process X

DVD drive (Y page 77) or the DVD
changer* (Y page 78).

ware and the map software are not compati-
ble.
X To confirm the message: pressW.
COMAND ejects the DVD.
X Take the DVD out of the slot.
X Have the system software updated at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
