Operating safety
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you operate integrated communication
equipment in the vehicle when driving, you
will be distracted from traffic conditions. You
could also lose control of the vehicle. There is
a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is cov-
ering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second. G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as
intended and/or jeopardize the operating
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid.
! Note: This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled
equipment and meets the FCC radio fre-
quency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supple-
ment C to OET65.
This equipment has very low levels of RF
energy that is deemed to comply without
maximum permissive exposure evaluation
(MPE). However, it is recommended to install
it at a distance of at least 8 inches (20 cm)
between the radiation source and a person's
body (not including limbs such as hands,
wrists, feet and legs). Correct use
Always observe the following when using the
audio equipment:
R the safety notes in this manual
R national road traffic regulations
i Using roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone, sat-
ellite radio, GPS).
Retrofitting metalized plastic films to the
windows can affect radio reception. It can
also lead to poorer reception of all other
antennas (e.g. emergency call antennas)
inside the vehicle.
i Protection against theft: this device is
equipped with technical provisions to pro-
tect it against theft. Further information on
protection against theft can be obtained
from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Declarations of conformity

Introduction

ation is subject to the two following two con-
ditions: 1) These devices may not cause
harmful interference, and 2) These devices
must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause unde-
sired operation. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment."
Canada: "The wireless devices of this vehicle
comply with Industry Canada license-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) These devices
may not cause interference, and (2) These
devices must accept any interference, includ-
ing interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device." Audio system features
These Operating Instructions describe all
standard and optional equipment available
for your audio device at the time of going to
print. Country-specific differences are possi-
ble. Please note that your audio equipment
may not offer all the features described. This
also applies to safety-relevant systems and
functions. The equipment in your vehicle may
therefore differ from that shown in the
descriptions and illustrations.
The original purchase agreement lists all sys-
tems installed in your vehicle. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center if you have
any questions about equipment or operation. Function restrictions
For safety reasons, some functions are
restricted or unavailable while the vehicle is
in motion. You will notice this, for example,
because you will not be able to select certain
menu items. Data stored in the vehicle
A wide range of electronic components in
your vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:
R The vehicle's operating state
R Incidents
R Malfunctions
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
R operating conditions of system compo-
nents, e.g. fluid levels
R the vehicle's status messages and those of
its individual components, e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in
movement, lateral acceleration, accelera-
tor pedal position
R malfunctions and defects in important sys-
tem components, e.g. lights, brakes
R vehicle reactions and operating conditions
in special driving situations, e.g. air bag
deployment, intervention of stability
control systems
R ambient conditions, e.g. outside tempera-
ture
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
R assist in recognizing and rectifying mal-
functions and defects
R analyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
R optimize vehicle function
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor-
mation can be read from the event data mem-
ory and malfunction data memory.
Services include, for example:
R repair services
R service processes Introduction

WARNING
Handling discs while driving may distract you
from traffic conditions. You could also lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.

The drive can play back audio CDs and MP3
CDs. The settings available in the menu may
vary depending on the type of disc. Inserting and removing CDs
Notes If the CD has a printed side, this must face
upwards when the CD is inserted. If neither
side is printed, the side to be played should
face downwards. The system may not be able
to play discs with copy protection.68
Audio CD and MP3 modeAudio

In CD/audio DVD mode, you hear all the
tracks in their normal sequence (e.g. track
1, 2, 3 etc.).
In MP3 mode, the track order is determined
by the order in which the tracks are written
to the MP3 data carrier when it is created.
Alphabetical order is the most common.
Once all the tracks in a folder have been
played, the tracks in the next folder are
played.
R Random Tracks

Notes about CDs/DVDs can be found here
(Y page 73). DVD playback conditions
There are video DVDs available on the market
which do not conform to the current stand-
ards.
Such DVDs may have picture, sound or other
playback problems.
The Rear Seat Entertainment System can play
back video DVDs produced according to the
following standards:
R Region code 2 (for Europe) 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 The Rear Seat Entertainment System is
set to region code 2 at the factory. This
setting can be changed at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. This will allow you
to play video DVDs with a different region
code, provided that they are produced in
accordance with the PAL or NTSC stand-
ard.
Playback problems may occur when play-
ing copied discs. There is a large variety of
discs, DVD authoring software, writing soft-
ware and writers available. This variety
means that there is no guarantee that the
Rear Seat Entertainment System will be
able to play video DVDs that you have cop-
ied yourself. 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 96
