The satellite radio mode requires satellite
radio equipment and registration with a sat-
ellite radio provider.

content offered by the provider. The illustra-
tions and descriptions in these operating

ble or interrupted for a variety of reasons.
These include environmental or topographi-
cal conditions as well as other factors beyond
the control of Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. This means operation may not be possible in cer-
tain areas.

R tunnels
R parking garages
R locations inside or next to buildings

a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
every se cond. General notes
Notes on discs !
Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage COMAND.
Stickers can cause the disc to bend, which can result in read errors and disc recogni-
tion problems.
! COMAND is designed to play discs that
comply with the EN 60908 standard. There-
fore, you can only use discs with a maxi-
mum thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that
contain data on both sides (DVD on one
side and audio data on the other), they can- not be ejected and can damage the device.
Only use round discs with a diameter of
12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm, even with an adapter.
The variety of data media, burners and burn
software means there is no guarantee that
the system will be able to play discs that you have copied yourself. 240
