Radio Data System (RDS)
The Radio Data System (RDS) provides inaud-
ible additional information in the FM wave-
band. The system consists of a listening
receiver and a monitoring receiver.
The monitoring receive rconstantly scans the
FM waveband and collects data from all the
stations with adequate reception, e.g. recep-
tion quality and RDS data such as programme
name and alternative frequencies. COMAND
stores the data and constantly updates the
memory. Therefore, the listening receiver is
able to switch inaudibly to an alternative fre-
quency with a better signal.
i RDS only functions for stations which
transmit RDS data.
Switching RDS on/off
You can use the functions "Frequency fix" (FM
mode) or "Station fix" (DAB mode*) to prevent
COMAND from switching between alternative
frequencies. This is useful, for example, when
the same content is broadcast with a time
delay, or when there is interference on one of
the frequencies.
X Select Radioin the radio or DABr adio dis-
play
X Select Frequency fix orStation fix .
The function is switched on 0019or off 0004,
depending on the previous status.
Traffic Programme Many FM stations transmit traffic announce-
ments (TA). You can also hear these in DAB
radio mode*.
You can switch announcements on and off or
interrupt a current announcement.
Switching Traffic Programme on/off
X Firs toption: selectRadio in the radio or
DAB radio display. The tick next to
TAindicates that traffic
announcement receptio nis switched on.
You see the TAicon in the status bar.
X Select TA.
TA is switched on or off, depending on the
previous status.
X Second option: press and hold the 001E
button until the TAicon lights up or goes
out in the status bar.
At one sounds.
or
X Using the multifunction steering wheel,
press and hold 001Euntil the TAicon lights
up or goes out in the status bar.
At one sounds.
Once traffic announcements have been
switched on, COMAND selects an RDS sta-
tion. The Traffic Programme is retrieved from:
R the currently selected FM station
R an RDS station in the range of stations of
the currently selected FM station
R the RDS station with the best reception
quality
When traffic announcements are switched
on, a traffic announcement will interrupt the
audio signal from the currently activated
audio or video source.
i Telephone conversations and navigation
announcements are not interrupted.
Ad isplay message appears in the display in
all audio operating modes.
Interrupting a traffic announcement
X Briefly press the 000Bbutton during a traffic
announcement.
or
X Using the multifunction steering wheel,
briefly press the 000Bbutton during a traffic
announcement.
COMAND switches back to the audio
source that was selected before the
announcement. Any subsequent new
announcements will continue to interrupt
the audio source. 164

Risk of accident
External audio sources may have differen tvol-
umes, which can mean that system messages
such as traffic announcements and navigation
system announcements are much louder. If
necessary, please deactivate the system mes-
sages or adjust their volume manually.
i The volume of external audio sources can
vary. It may be the case that a device which
is connected as an external audio source
seems quieter or louder in the vehicle, or
that the usual maximum volume cannot be
achieved. On some devices, it is possible to
adjust the volume separately. In this case,
start with a medium-level volume and
increase it gradually. This enables you to
determine whether the system is able to
play the music at high volume without dis-
torting it. X
To increase the volume on COMAND:
select Volume.

Safety notes G
Risk of injury
COMAND is classified as a class 1laser prod-
uct .You must not open the casing. If you open
the casing, or if the casing is faulty or dam-
aged, there is a risk of exposure to invisible
laser radiation. This may damage your eyes,
or those of others.
COMAND does not contain any parts that can
be serviced by the user. For safety reasons,
all maintenance work must be carried out by
qualified aftersales technicians. G

There is a risk of being distracted from the
road and traffic conditions if this is done while
the vehicle is in motion.
Automatic picture shutoff If the vehicle is travelling faster than approx-
imately
5km/h, the picture automatically
switches off in video DVD mode.
The following message appears in the display:
In order not to distract you from
the traffic situation, the picture
is faded out while the vehicle is in
motion.
As soon as the vehicle spee ddrops to below
approximately 5km/h, the picture switches
back on again. 190

Notes on discs
i
There may be playback problems when
playing copied discs .There are a large vari-
ety of discs, DVD authoring software, writ-
ing software and writers available. This vari-
ety means that there is no guarantee that
the system will be able to play discs that
you have copied yourself.
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs,
as they could peel off and damage
COMAND. Stickers can cause the disc to
bend, which can result in read errors and
disc recognition problems.
! COMAND is designed to accommodate
discs which comply with the EN 60908
standard. You can therefore only use discs
with a maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that
contain data on both sides (DVD on one
side and audio data on the other), they can-
not be ejected and can damage COMAND.
Use round discs with a diameter of 12 cm.
Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm,
even with an adapter.
Notes on handling discs R
Only hold discs by the edge.
R Handle discs carefully to prevent playback
problems.
R Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and
dust on discs.
R Clean discs from time to time with a com-
mercially available cleaning cloth. When
cleaning CDs, you should wipe in straight
lines from the centre outwards rather than
in a circular motion.
R Only use a pen specifically made for label-
ling discs.
R Place discs back in their cases after use.
R Protect discs from heat and direct sunlight. DVD playback conditions It is possible to buy video DVDs which do not
conform to current standards.
Such DVDs may have picture, sound or other
playback problems. COMAND can play back
video DVDs produced according to the fol-
lowing standards:
R
region code 2orregion code 0(no region
code)
i If you insert a video DVD with a different
regio ncode, you will see a message to this
effect.
R PAL or NTSC TV standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
i COMAND is set to region code 2 at the
factory. This setting can be changed at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. This will
allow you to play video DVDs with a differ-
ent region code, provided that they are pro-
duced in accordance with the PAL or NTSC
TV standard. The region code can be
changed a maximum of five times.
Background video mode If another main function is active, such as
navigation, you can use the
0001or0002
button to carry out the following functions in
video DVD mode:
R select a scene/chapter
R fast forward or rewind
Aw indow shows information about the selec-
ted function.
Function restrictions Depending on the DVD, it is possible that cer-
tain functions or actions will be temporarily
blocked or may not function at all. As soon as
you try to activate these functions or actions,
