The components and operating principles
of the audio system can be found on
(Y page 112) and ( Y page 116).
The audio system is fitted with a CD changer.
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 precautions G
Warning!
The CD changer is 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 CD changer does not contain any parts
that you are able to maintain yourself. For
safety

reasons, all maintenance work must be
carried out by qualified technicians. G
Warning!
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 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.
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the CDs,
they can become warped due to the heat
that develops in the CD changer.
In certain situations, the CDs can then no
longer be ejected and cause damage to the
CD changer. Such damage is not covered
by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Audio system
