United Kingdom only: G
WARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury.
Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-
tance. Do not activate the double lock when
people are in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been locked from the out-
side, the double lock function is activated as
standard. It is then not possible to open the
doors from inside the vehicle. You can deac-
tivate the double-lock function by deactivat-
ing the interior motion sensor (Y page 80).
The doors can then be opened from the inside after the vehicle has been locked from the
outside. The anti-theft alarm system is trig-
gered if the door is opened from the inside.
Switch off the alarm (Y page 79).

Confirm BERLIN(1XXXX)
BERLIN(1XXXX) by pressingW
the COMAND controller.
The address entry menu appears.
Observe the information relating to destina-
tion entry (Y page 326). SPLITVIEW
Operation SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND Online functions on the
front-passenger side and on the driver's side.
Different content is seen depending on your
perspective when viewing the display.
The "Navi" function, for example, can be used
from the driver's side while a video is watched from the front-passenger side.
SPLITVIEW is operated with the remote con-
trol from the front-passenger side.
To do so, use the cordless headphones. Using
the headphones on the correct sides ensures
an optimal sound.
You can connect your own headphones to a
special headphones jack. You can use the
remote control to operate them.
Points to remember R
You can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the head-
phones.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW. R
Different media can be used on the driver
and front-passenger sides as long as they
use different media sources. Example: if a
medium from the DVD changer is being
played on the driver's side, then another
medium that is also played from the DVD
changer cannot be played separately on
the front-passenger side. However, other
media can be used at the same time on the
front-passenger side, including radio,
memory card, MUSIC REGISTER, Media
Interface, USB or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings.
R Internet use is only available at any one
time to the driver or the front passenger.
A corresponding message appears on the
display.
R Internet can only be used, if it is set and
connected via a telephone on the driver's
side.
R The multifunction steering wheel can only
be used for functions which relate to the
driver's side.
