Your COMAND equipment
These operating instructions describe all
standard and optional equipment available
for your COMAND system at the time of pur-
chase. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. 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 equip-
ment 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

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The CD/DVD drive is a class 1 laser product. If you open the housing of the CD/DVD drive,
there is a risk of exposure to invisible laser
radiation. This laser radiation could damage
your retina. There is a risk of injury.
Never open the housing. Always have main-
tenance and repair work carried out at a quali- fied 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 direc-
tion.
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 compart-
ment
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 head-
phones.
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 can-
not be played separately on the rear left-
hand operating position. However, on the
rear left-hand operating position, it is pos-
sible 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 set-
tings. 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
(Y page 173). 260
