Method of operation
SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-
passenger side and on the driver's side. Dif-
ferent content is seen depending on your per- spective when viewing the display.
The navigation 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 COMAND
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
COMAND remote control to operate them. Points to remember
R You can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the head-
phones.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW.
R Videos cannot be shown on the driver's
side while the vehicle is in motion.
R If media from different sources are used,
these can be used separately from the driv-
er's and front-passenger sides. Example: ifa medium from the DVD changer is being
played on the driver's side, then another
medium that is also played from the DVD
changer cannot be played separately on
the front-passenger side. However, other
media can be used on the front-passenger
side at the same time, including the radio,
memory card, MEDIA REGISTER, Media
Interface, USB or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings. The "last one wins" principle applies SPLITVIEW

here, i.e. the last setting activated is
favored.
R The Internet can be separately used by both
the driver and front passenger at the same time.
R Internet can only be used if it is set and
connected via a mobile phone on the driv-
er's side.
R The multifunction steering wheel can only
be used for functions which relate to the
driver's side.
R The driver can lock/unlock the other
screens (override feature) (Y page 72).Switching SPLITVIEW on/off

tooth ®
-capable audio device.
Check your Bluetooth ®
audio device for the
following (see the Bluetooth ®
audio device's
operating instructions):
R Bluetooth ®
audio profile
The Bluetooth ®
audio device must support
the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth ®

audio devices do not
just require activation of the Bluetooth ®
function. In addition, your device must be
made "visible" to other devices.
R Bluetooth ®

This device name is predetermined but can
usually be changed. To make a clear selec- tion of the Bluetooth
®
device possible,
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you cus- tomize the device name (see the Blue-
tooth ®
audio device's operating instruc-
tions).
i A2DP (
