playing video DVD media.
MP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at least
128 kbit/ s.
Surround sound playback does not func-
tion for mono signal sources, such as for
AM radio mode.
If radio reception is poor, e.g. in a tunnel,
you should switch off Logic7 ®

otherwise switch dynamically between
stereo and mono and cause temporary
sound distortions.
On some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ from conven-
tional stereo playback.

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 head-
phones.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be used with SPLITVIEW.
R Different media can be used on the driver
and front-passenger sides as long as they
use different media sources. Example: if a
medium from the single DVD drive is being
played on the driver's side, then another
medium that is also played from the single
DVD drive cannot be played separately on
the front-passenger side. 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 set-
tings.
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. Switching SPLITVIEW on/off Switching on SPLITVIEW

At a glanceCOMAND

COMAND can give incorrect navigation com-
mands if the actual street/traffic situation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. Digital maps do not cover all areas nor
all routes in an area. For example, a route may have been diverted or the direction of a one-
way street may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of con- sulting the map display for directions. Look-
ing at the icons or map display can distract
you from traffic conditions and driving, and
increase the risk of an accident.
General notes Operational readiness of the navigation
system
The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
whenever operational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible.
GPS reception
Among other things, correct functioning of
the navigation system depends on GPS recep-
tion. In certain situations, GPS reception may
be impaired, there may be interference or
there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tun-
nels or parking garages.
i Using roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone, sat-
ellite radio, GPS).
Entry restriction
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a
restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed of above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).As soon as the speed falls below approximately
2 mph (3 km/h), the restriction becomes
inactive.
When the restriction is active, certain entries cannot be made. This will be indicated by the fact that certain menu items are grayed out
and cannot be selected.
The following entries are not possible, for
example:
R entering the destination city and street
R entering a destination via the map
R entering POIs in the vicinity of a city or via a
name search
R editing entries
R using the number keypad for direct entry
Other entries are possible, such as entering
points of interest in the vicinity of the desti-
nation or current position.
