Introduction
Operating safety
G
Risk of accident
Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions.
Only use COMAND 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* will 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. G
Risk of accident and injury
Vehicles with BlueHYBRID *: make sure that
you read the "BlueHYBRID" supplement. You
may otherwise fail to detect dangers.
Dear radio user,
This radio can be operated by anyone in
accordance with the relevant EC directive.
The equipment corresponds to current Euro-
pean and harmonised national standards.
This guarantees that the equipment conforms
to the relevant specifications regarding elec-
tromagnetic compatibility.
As a result, interference caused by your
equipment to other electrical/electronic
equipment and interference to your equip-
ment caused by other electrical/electronic
equipment can be largely prevented.
The equipment is approved by the vehicle
manufacturer in accordance with European
Automotive EMC Directive 95/54/EC.
This means that the equipment in your vehicle
is authorised for use according to the given
regulations. The equipment does not require
certification and conforms to the relevant
equipment-specific EMC specifications in accordance with European standards
EN 55013 and EN 55020. Function restrictions when the vehi-
cle is being driven
For safety reasons, some COMAND functions
are restricted or unavailable while the vehicle
is in motion. This will be indicated by
COMAND displaying a message to this effect. Components
You can use COMAND to operate the follow-
ing in your vehicle:
R the audio functions
R the navigation system*
R the telephone* and communication func-
tions (text messages*)
R video DVD and TV*
R various vehicle settings
COMAND consists of:
R the COMAND display/SPLITVIEW*
R the COMAND controller

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

Safety notes
G
Risk of injury
COMAND is classified as a Class 1 laser prod-
uct. You must not open the casing. There is a
risk of exposure to invisible laser radiation if
you open the casing or if the casing is faulty
or damaged.
COMAND does not contain any parts that can
be serviced by the user. For safety reasons,
all maintenance work must be carried out by
qualified aftersales technicians. G
Risk of accident
Inserting or ejecting discs while driving may
distract you from the traffic conditions,
thereby causing an accident. Only insert or
eject a disc when the vehicle is stationary. Notes on MP3 mode
Permissible discs R
CD-R and CD-RW
R DVD+R and DVD+RW
R DVD-R and DVD-RW
R SD cards

R MP3 players
Permissible file systems R
ISO9660/Joliet for CDs
R UDF for DVDs
R FAT16 or FAT32 for storage media
Multisession CDs For multisession CDs, the content of the first
session determines how COMAND will proc-
ess the CD.
If the first session contains data in audio CD
format, for example, and the second session
contains MP3 tracks, COMAND will treat the
CD as a conventional audio CD. This means
that it is not possible to access the MP3
tracks.
If the first session contains MP3 tracks, for
example, and the second session contains
data in audio CD format, COMAND will treat
the CD as an MP3 disc. This means that it is
not possible to access the audio CD tracks.Audio CD/audio DVD* and MP3
