Cleaning instructions
!
Do not touch the COMAND display. The
display has a very sensitive high-gloss
surface;
there is a risk of scratching. If you
have to clean the screen, however, use a
mild cleaning agent and a soft, lint-free
cloth.
The display must be switched off and have
cooled down before you start cleaning. Clean
the display screen, when necessary, with a
commercially available microfiber cloth and
cleaning agent for TFT/LCD displays. Then,
dry the surface with a dry microfiber cloth.
Avoid using alcoholic thinners, gasoline or
abrasive cleaning agents. These could
damage the display surface. Do not apply
pressure to the display surface when cleaning
it, as this could cause irreversible damage. Remote control
Overview You can use the remote control to operate the
COMAND display, SPLITVIEW and either one
of the rear-compartment screens.
