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
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.
Handle discs only when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
every second. G
WARNING
SD memory cards are small parts. They can be swallowed and cause asphyxiation. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Keep SD memory cards out of the reach of
children. If an SD memory card is swallowed,
seek immediate medical attention.

Gracenote ®
Media Database Introduction
This function is only available in audio CD
mode. 448
AudioCOMAND

There is a version of Gracenote® music rec-
ognition technology on the COMAND hard
drive. You will recognize this by the logo
which can be seen in the bottom right-hand
corner of certain audio displays.
Many audio CDs contain CD text. COMAND
uses the information contained therein to dis-
play the artist, album and track name.
If the audio CD does not contain any CD text
information, COMAND can use the Grace-
note ®
Media Database to identify unknown
audio tracks when in audio CD mode. This is
only possible if the relevant information is
saved in the Gracenote ®
Media Database and
if the "Gracenote Media Database" function is
activated.
If this is the case, COMAND will display the
corresponding data such as artist, album and track name in the relevant displays and lists.
