Welcome to the world of Mercedes-Benz.
First of all, familiarize yourself with your audio
equipment and read the operating instruc-
tions, especially the safety and warning
notes, before operating the audio equipment.
This will help you to obtain the maximum use
from the system and avoid endangering your-
self and others.
Depending on the model and equipment level,
the functions of your audio equipment may
deviate from certain descriptions and illus-
trations.
Mercedes-Benz is constantly updating its
audio equipment to the state of the art and
therefore reserves the right to introduce
changes in design, equipment and technical
features at any time.
You cannot, therefore, base any claims on the
data, illustrations or descriptions in this man-
ual.
Please consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center should you have any questions.
This manual is an integral part of the vehicle.
You should always keep it in the vehicle and
pass it on to the new owner if you sell the
vehicle.
The technical documentation team at
Daimler AG wishes you safe and pleasant
motoring.
