These operating instructions describe all
standard and optional equipment available
for your COMAND system at the time of
purchase. Country-specific differences are
possible. Please note that your
COMAND system may not be equipped with
all the features described. This also applies to
safety-relevant systems and functions.
Therefore, the equipment on your COMAND
system may differ from that in the
descriptions and illustrations. Should you
have any questions concerning equipment
and operation, please consult an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. Rear Seat Entertainment System

WARNING
The CD/DVD drive is a class 1 laser product.
If you open the CD/DVD drive housing, you
could be exposed to invisible laser radiation.
This laser radiation could damage your retina.
There is a risk of injury.
Never open the housing. Always have
maintenance and repair work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If objects such as headphones/headsets or
external audio/video sources are not secured
in the passenger compartment, they can be
flung around and hit vehicle occupants. There
is a risk of injury, for example in the event of
sudden braking or a sudden change in
direction.
Always stow these items or similar objects
carefully so that they cannot be flung around,
for example in a lockable vehicle stowage
compartment. Components
The Rear Seat Entertainment System
includes:
R two screens for the rear behind the front-
seat head restraints
R two remote controls for the rear
compartment
R a CD/DVD drive in the rear compartment
R AUX jacks
R two USB ports
R two sets of cordless headphones General notes
R You can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the
headphones.
R If media from different sources are used,
they can be used separately from each of
the operating positions. Example: a film
from the DVD drive is played on the rear
right-hand operating position. This means
that another film from the same DVD
cannot be played separately on the rear
left-hand operating position. However, on
the rear left-hand operating position, it is
possible to use the radio, TV, memory card,
MUSIC REGISTER, media interface, USB,
online and Internet functions or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective
settings. The "last one wins" principle
applies here, i.e. the last setting activated
is favored.
R The Internet can be used separately at all
operating positions.
R The Internet can only be used if it is set up
and connected via a telephone

weather data with symbols:
R rain radar
R storm characteristics
R areas of high-pressure/low-pressure,
weather fronts R
course of tropical cyclones (hurricanes,
typhoons)
R gale warnings
R wind direction and speeds

Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
i Hurricane: term used to describe the
tropical cyclones that primarily develop in
the Atlantic, North Pacific and South Pacific
oceans. The wind speeds are above
74 mph (118 km/h). Five categories are
used to classify the strength of a hurricane.

cyclone that develops in the northwestern
