volumes, which can mean that system mes-
sages such as traffic announcements and
navigation system announcements are much louder. If necessary, deactivate the system
messages or adjust their volume manually.
You can connect an external audio source
(AUX) to COMAND.
Depending on the vehicle model series, the
connection is made using a jack in the stow-
age compartment in the center console or a
USB port (Y page 197).

face, external audio sources are connected
using the cable set provided. An AUX socket
is not provided. The connections for the
Media Interface are located in the stowage
compartment in the center console.

Notes on discs
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage COMAND.
Stickers can cause the disc to bend, which can result in read errors and disc recogni-
tion problems.
! COMAND is designed to play discs that
comply with the EN 60908 standard. There-
fore, you can only use discs with a maxi-
mum 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 the device.
Only use round discs with a diameter of
12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm, even with an adapter.
Playback problems may occur when playing
copied discs. There are a large variety of
discs, DVD authoring software, writing soft-
ware and writers available. This variety means that there is no guarantee that the system will
be able to play discs that you have copied
yourself. DVD playback conditions
If video DVDs do not conform to the NTSC or PAL TV standards, they may create picture,
sound or other problems during playback.
COMAND is capable of playing back video
DVDs produced according to the following
standards:
R Region code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
R PAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
i If you insert a video DVD with a different
region code, you will see a message to this
effect.
i COMAND is set to region code 1 at the
factory. This setting can be changed at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. 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
standard. The region code can be changed up to five times. 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, you will see the 0047symbol in the display. Inserting and removing DVDs

Weather
front Explanation
Cold front If a cold front moves in, the
weather remains changeable
and there are often rain show-
ers and thunderstorms. The
air temperature decreases. Warm front This can mean longer periods
of rain and can lead to an
increase in cloud cover and a
slow increase in temperature. Stationary
front The weather front moves min-
imally. The weather remains
changeable in this area. Occlusion This occurs when a faster cold
front reaches an advancing
warm front and combines
with it. The weather remains
changeable and rainy within
an occlusion. Example: weather map showing the progress of a
tropical storm
