SPLITVIEW enables the driver and front
passenger to use separate COMAND
functions at the same time. Two different
displays appear in the COMAND screen. For
example, a Navigation display is only viewable
form the driver’s seat while a DVD Video
display is only viewable from the front
passenger’s seat.
COMAND is operated via SPLITVIEW from the
front passenger seat using the SPLITVIEW
remote control and the special wireless,
infrared headphone. You may also use a wired
headphone via the 3.5 mm socket in the front
passenger footwell.
For information about using the remote
control, see ( Y page 81).
For information about using the headphone,
see ( Y page 82).
Depending on the production date of your
vehicle, it may be equipped with SPLITVIEW.
At the time of this printing, the use of
SPLITVIEW is NOT allowed in the following US
states (AL, AZ, CO, IL, LA, MA, MD, NH, PA,
VA, VT, WA, WI, and WV) or Canadian
provinces (Manitoba, Newfoundland, New
Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island).
SPLITVIEW must NOT be operated in these
states or provinces. The driver is responsible
for observing ALL local statutory provisions.
If your vehicle is registered in a non-approved
state or province, then the feature will need
to be deactivated. Contact your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer to verify if SPLITVIEW
is allowed in your state or province.

control. Make sure the volume is not set
too high before putting on a headphone.
RThe DVD changer can playback only one
media source at a time. Example: if the
driver is playing an audio CD, the front
passenger can not play a different medium
(e.g. DVD video) from the DVD changer.
However, it is possible for the front
passenger to play media from radio,
memory card, MUSIC REGISTER, media
interface, USB, AUX or Rear Seat
Entertainment System.
RWhen driver and front passenger are using
the same medium, each can select
individual settings for that medium.
RCOMAND transmits music and voice to the
wireless headphone for the front passenger
side via infrared signal. The headphone and
the display must have visual contact. This
provides best possible transmission of the
infrared signal to the headphone. Please
note that the headphone has a left and right
side and must be used accordingly.
RWhen SPLITVIEW is on, the front passenger
can operate audio or video functions only.
RThe multifunction steering wheel lets you
operate functions for the driver’s side only.

R Traffic lights
R Stop and right-of-way signs
R Parking or stopping in prohibited areas
R Lane merging
R Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R Narrow bridges
