recommend that you always place a child
in a rear-facing child restraint in a backseat.
R If you must install a rear-facing child
restraint on the front passenger seat
because circumstances require you to do
so, make sure the 42
indicator lamp is illuminated, indicating
that the front passenger front air bag is
deactivated. Should the 42
indicator lamp not illuminate or go out while
the restraint is installed, please check
installation. Periodically check the
42 indicator lamp while
driving to make sure the 42
indicator lamp is illuminated. If the
42 indicator lamp goes out or
remains out, do not transport a child on the
front passenger seat until the system has
been repaired.
A child in a rear-facing child restraint on the
front passenger seat will be seriously
injured or even killed if the front passenger
front air bag inflates.
R If you have to place a child in a forward-
facing child restraint on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible,
use the proper child restraint
recommended for the age, size and weight
of the child, and secure child restraint with
the vehicle’s seat belt according to the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions. For
children larger than the typical 12-month-
old child, the front passenger front air bag
may or may not be activated. G
Warning!
Infants and small children should never share
a seat belt with another occupant. During an
accident, they could be crushed between the
occupant and seat belt.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle and/
or the child is not properly secured in the child
restraint. Children too big for a toddler restraint must
ride in seats using regular seat belts. Position
shoulder belt across chest and shoulder, not
face or neck. A booster seat may be
necessary to achieve proper seat belt
positioning for children over 41 lb (18 kg) until
they reach a height where a lap/shoulder belt
fits properly without a booster.
When the child restraint is not in use, remove
it from the vehicle or secure it with the seat
belt to prevent the child restraint from
becoming a projectile in the event of an
accident.
Installation of infant and child restraint
systems G
Observe Safety notes, see page 51.
This vehicle is equipped with tether
anchorages for a top tether strap at each of
the rear seating positions.
Top tether straps enable an additional
connection to be made between child
restraint systems secured with LATCH-type
(ISOFIX) anchors and rear seats. This can
further reduce the risk of injury. X
Remove anchorage ring cover : from the
anchorage ring of the seat on which a child
seat is to be installed.
X Store anchorage ring cover : in a
convenient place (e.g. glove box). Occupant safety

Warning!
Only carry out the following when the vehicle
is stationary:
R Inserting a disc/device
R Ejecting a disc/device
There is
a risk of accident by being distracted
from road and traffic conditions if you load a
disc/device while the vehicle is in motion.
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. Notes about MP3 mode
Permissible media for MP3/WMA files R
CD-R and CD-RW
R DVD-R and DVD-RW
R DVD+R and DVD+RW

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 first session type
of the CD determines how COMAND will
process the CD.
For example, if the first session type is
according to the audio CD standard and the
second session type is according to the data
CD standard containing MP3/WMA tracks, COMAND will treat the CD as a conventional
audio CD. This means that it is only possible
to
access

the audio CD tracks. Access to the
MP3/WMA tracks is not possible.
Similarly, if the first session type is according
to the data CD standard containing MP3/
WMA tracks and the second session type is
according to the audio CD standard,
COMAND will treat the CD as a data CD. This
means that it is only possible to access the
MP3/WMA tracks. Access to the audio CD
tracks is not possible.
File structure on a disc When you create an audio disc, the tracks can
be
organized

in folders. A disc may contain a
maximum of 4000 tracks.
The directory depth may not exceed a
maximum of 8 levels. The system will ignore
files in lower levels.
Notes on USB storage media Do not store data other than audio data on a
USB storage medium. Doing so will increase
the
time

required to initialize the USB storage
medium.
A maximum of 8 directory levels with up to
4000 tracks each are supported.
For information on connecting USB storage
media to the built-in USB socket in the glove
box see ( Y page 72).
Track and folder names When you create an audio medium, you can
assign names to the tracks and folders.
COMAND uses these names for the
corresponding display. Empty folders or
folders which contain data other than MP3/
WMA tracks are not displayed by COMAND.
If MP3/WMA files are saved in the root
directory itself (uppermost directory on
storage medium), the root directory will also
be treated as a folder. COMAND will then
show the name of the root directory as the
folder name.COMAND audio CD/audio DVD/MP3
