2010 MERCEDES-BENZ CL CLASS air condition

When reinstalling a map software that has
been installed in that vehicle already, an
activation code is not required.
Installation process
i
The installation process can take
between 10 and 120 minutes, depending
on the
size of the map software. If the radio
is switched on when you start the
installation process, you can still adjust the
volume. During the installation process,
some COMAND functions are suspended.
Still available are the COMAND functions
for automatic air conditioning operation
and canceling the installation process.
If possible, carry out the installation when
the vehicle is stationary. When the vehicle
is stationary, the reading rate of the DVD
drive is higher than in a moving vehicle and
the installation process requires less time. G
Observe Safety notes, see page 68.
i COMAND may switch off during the
installation process automatically in order
to protect the battery. This may happen
when the engine is switched off and the
vehicle battery has insufficient power. If
this occurs,

restart the installation with the
engine running. Similarly, if the SmartKey
position is unintentionally switched to 0,
restart the installation. G
Warning!
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to your
health. All exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause
unconsciousness and lead to death. Do not
run the engine in confined areas (such as a
garage) which are not properly ventilated. Installing

The sockets for external audio and video
sources (AUX) are located in the glove box.
i
For operation of the external audio and
video sources, refer to the operating
instructions of the respective device. You
may have to adjust the proper video
standard on the external audio and video
source to ensure proper replay.
Do not leave external devices in the vehicle.
Proper function of the device could be
impaired due to excessive temperatures,
for example when exposing to direct
sunlight or when the outside temperature
is extremely low. Mercedes-Benz does not
assume liability for damage to external
devices. G
Warning!
Operating an external audio source while the
vehicle is in motion will distract you. You may
not notice changing road and/or traffic
conditions which may cause an accident.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
For your safety and the safety of others, pull
over to a safe location and stop before
operating an external audio source. G
Warning!
Due to the different volumes of the external
audio sources, system messages of the
vehicle may be much louder. You may need to
disable these system messages or adjust the
volume of these messages manually.
i The volume of external audio sources is
extremely variable. It is possible that a
device connected as an external audio
source will sound quieter or louder in the
vehicle or that the usual maximum volume
cannot be achieved. On certain devices the
volume can be set separately. In this case,
start at a moderate volume and increase it
slowly. In this way, you can determine whether the system is capable of playback
without distortion, even at high volume.
X Connect external audio and video sources
as described in the following sections. Audio and video AUX sockets in the
glove box
:
Video AUX socket, yellow socket
; Audio AUX socket, left channel, white
socket
= Audio AUX socket, right channel, red

i Vehicles with media interface: Instead of
the external audio and video sockets, the
media interface ( Y page 183) is located in
the glove box. Switching to audio AUX operation

X Select Audio Q AUX.
The Audio AUX menu appears. You will hear
the medium in the external audio source
provided it is connected and set to
playback.

conditioning
The air conditioning is operational while the
engine is running and cools the interior air to
the temperature set by the operator. In addition, the air conditioning dehumidifies
the interior air and helps prevent window
fogging.
i
Condensation may drip out from
underneath the vehicle. This is normal and
not an indication of a malfunction. G
Warning!
If you deactivate the air conditioning, the
vehicle will not be cooled when weather
conditions are warm. The windows can fog up
more quickly. Window fogging may impair
visibility and endanger you and others.

Have the air conditioning checked at the
nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Selecting Mono mode Mono is used to adjust the climate zones for
the entire vehicle at the same time. When the
Mono function is switched on and you change

Introduction
The control system is activated as soon as the
starter switch is in position 2.
The control system enables you to call up
information about your vehicle and to change
vehicle settings.
For example, you can use the control system
to find out when your vehicle is next due for
maintenance service, to call up statistical
data on your vehicle, and much more. G
Warning!
A driver’s attention to the road and traffic
conditions must always be his/her primary
focus when driving.
For your safety and the safety of others,
selecting features through the multifunction
steering wheel should only be done by the
driver when traffic and road conditions permit
it to be done safely.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second. Instrument cluster control system
