city NEW YORK
NEW YORK has been entered. The entry is

COMAND controller.
The address entry menu appears. You can
now enter a street, for example.
Observe the information on destination entry
(Y page 326). SPLITVIEW
Method of operation SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND 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
control from the front-passenger side.
To do so, use the special radio 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
headphones.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW.
R You can only operate media from the
driver's and front-passenger sides
separately if the media are from different
sources. Example: if a medium from the
DVD changer is being played on the driver's
side. Then, no other medium can be used
separately on the front-passenger side that
is also played from the DVD changer.
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
settings.
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.
