Safety notes
GWarning!
Please devote your attention first and
foremost to the traffic situation you are in.
Before your journey, please familiarize
yourself with the audio functions.
Only use the Voice Control System when road
and traffic conditions permit you to do so.
Otherwise you could be involved in an
accident in which you or others could be
injured.
Operation
You can use the Voice Control System to
R select a CD/DVD or another medium
R select a track
R select a folder in MP3 mode
R change the category when in media
interface mode
R select a group in audio DVD mode
R select a chapter or scene when in video
DVD mode
i Upon the command “Next/Previous CD/
DVD”, the DVD changer switches from one
CD/DVD to the next. It will skip empty
slots. When you select an empty slot using
the commands “CD/DVD 1” through “CD/
DVD 6”, the current slot remains selected.
i The following commands “DVD audio”,
“DVD video”, “Next/Previous CD/DVD”
and “CD/DVD 1” to “CD/DVD 6”, cause
the DVD changer to switch from one slot to
another, regardless of the type of medium
found in the selected slot. In your
command, you can therefore replace the
term “CD/DVD” with “Medium”.

(Y page 350) is also switched on or off.
Parktronic system malfunction
There is a malfunction in the Parktronic
system, if only the red distance segments
illuminate and an acoustic warning sounds.
The Parktronic system will switch off
automatically after 20 seconds and indicator
lamp \000G in Parktronic switch \000F comes on.
XHave the Parktronic system checked at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center as soon
as possible.
If only the red distance segments illuminate
and no acoustic warning sounds, the
Parktronic system sensors are dirty (e.g. dirt,
ice, snow and slush). Another cause could be
interference from other radio or ultrasonic
signals (e.g. truck air brakes, car wash, or
jackhammers). The Parktronic system will
switch off automatically after 20 seconds and
indicator lamp \000G in Parktronic switch \000F
comes on.
XSwitch off the ignition.XClean the Parktronic system sensors
(Y page 443).
XSwitch on the ignition.orXCheck the Parktronic system operation at
another location to rule out interference
from outside radio or ultrasonic signals.
Parking Guidance
The Parking Guidance is part of the Parktronic
system. With the Parktronic system switched
on (Y page 349), the Parking Guidance is also
available.
The Parking Guidance is an electronic parking
aid equipped with ultrasonic sensors. The
ultrasonic sensors scan the area on both
sides of vehicle. When a suitable parking
space is found, it is indicated by a parking
space symbol in the multifunction display.
You will receive steering instructions for
parking in that space.
GWarning!
The Parking Guidance is only an aid and may
display parking spaces that are not suitable
for parking such as
Rno-parking zones
Rparking space with unsuitable road/ground
surface
Rdriveways
Rentrances/exits
The Parking Guidance scans for and measures
potential parking spaces when driving past.
Subsequent changes to the parking space are
not taken into account. This may be the case
if the position of the vehicle parked in front or
behind the space changes or obstacles in the
parking space are moved.
The Parking Guidance does not relieve you of
the responsibility to pay attention. If you only
rely on the Parking Guidance, you may cause
an accident and injure yourself and others.
You are always responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to your
immediate surroundings when parking and
maneuvering.
