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 at
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Weatherband. It will not function for
mono-signal sources as, e.g. mono audio
tracks on some specific audio CDs.
RIn the case of poor radio reception
quality, e.g. during long tunnel passages,
Logic 7® should be switched off, as
otherwise a dynamic switchover from
stereo to mono and thus temporary
sound characteristic shifts can occur.

i The components and operating principles
of the audio system can be found on
( Y page 126) and ( Y page 131).
The audio system is fitted with either a single
CD drive or a CD changer.
The single CD player and the CD changer can
play audio CDs as well as CDs with MP3 or
WMA files.
The available menu options will vary
depending on the equipment and the type of
CD.
Safety precautionsGWarning!
The single CD player and the CD changer are
classified as a Class 1 laser product. 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.
The single CD player and the CD changer do
not contain any parts that you are able to
maintain yourself. For safety reasons, all
maintenance work must be carried out by
qualified technicians.
GWarning!
In order to avoid distraction which could lead
to an accident, the driver should insert or
eject 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 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
General notes
i Audio CDs with copy protection are not
compatible with the CD audio standard and
therefore may not be able to be played by
the single CD player and/or the CD
changer. There may be playback problems
when playing copied discs.
There is a large variety of discs, disc-writing
software and writers available. This variety
means that there is no guarantee that the
system will be able to play discs that you
have written/copied yourself.
There may be playback problems if you use
CD-R or CD-RW type discs you have
compiled yourself with a storage capacity
of more than 700 MB. These CDs are not
compatible with currently applicable
standards.

Audio AUX mode
An external audio source can be connected
to the AUX socket of the audio system. Please
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
for more information.
AUX socket : is designed for a 3.5 mm
stereo jack (3-pin), for devices with dedicated
analog audio output or connection via
headphone port, e.g. MP3 or tape player.
GWarning!
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.

or
XIn CD mode: Select CD/MP3 Q Aux.
The audio AUX menu appears. The medium in

RVolume (Y page 133)
RBalance control and fader (Y page 133)
RBass and treble control (Y page 133)
RSurround sound (Y page 134)
iThe 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.
Volume adjustment for the audio device
You can increase the volume for the AUX
socket in case the internal volume of the
connected audio device is too low. Use the
setting Boost for such devices.
You should set the system back to
Standard before connecting a different audio
device to the AUX socket.
