COMAND Display
i Do not touch the COMAND display. The
display has a very sensitive high-gloss
surface; there is a risk of scratching. Should
the display need cleaning, use a mild
cleaning agent and a soft, antistatic, lint-
free cloth. Commercially available alcohol
and ammonia-free TFT or LCD cleaners are
recommended.
The COMAND display shows the function
currently selected and its associated menus.
The COMAND display is divided into several
areas.
The radio display is shown in the example.

using the ; and = buttons
( Y page 27).
In the example, the audio main function is set
to radio mode and the main area 3 is active.
i The arrangement of the menus can vary,
depending on the equipment. Normally, the
menus for the full equipment version are
shown in this guide.
Menu Overview

the submenu line at the bottom edge of the
COMAND display.
