Bluetooth®audio mode
Connecting Bluetooth®audio devices
Prerequisites
XActivate the Bluetooth®function in the mul-
timedia system (Ypage 41).
Bluetooth
®audio mode requires a Bluetooth®-
capable audio device.
Check your Bluetooth
®audio device for the fol-
lowing (see the manufacturer's operating
instructions):
RBluetooth®audio profile
The Bluetooth®audio device must support
the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth®audio pro-
files.
RBluetooth®visibility
Certain Bluetooth®audio devices do not just
require activation of the Bluetooth®function.
In addition, your device must be made "visi-
ble" to other devices.
RBluetooth®device name
This device name is predetermined but can
usually be changed. For a clear selection of
the Bluetooth
®device, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you customize the device
name.
iA2DP ( Advanced Audio Distribution Profile):
Bluetooth®audio profile for audio data trans-
mission
AVRCP ( Audio Video Remote Control Profile):
Bluetooth
®audio profile for audio data play-
back
iThe Bluetooth®device must be visible for
authorization. After authorization, the multi-
media system even finds the Bluetooth
®
device when it is not visible.
General notes
Before using your Bluetooth®audio device with
the multimedia system for the first time, you will
need to authorize it.
When you authorize a new Bluetooth
®audio
device, it is connected automatically. Connec-
tion involves first searching for a Bluetooth
®
audio device and then authorizing it.
You can authorize up to 15 Bluetooth®devices.
iIf you authorize a mobile phone that sup-
ports Bluetooth®audio, the A2DP and AVRCP
Bluetooth®audio profiles are connected
automatically.
The mobile phone is then entered:
Rin the Bluetooth®telephone list
(Ypage 98)
Rin the Bluetooth®device list
(Ypage 162)

Important safety notes
GWARNING
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.
GWARNING
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
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 recognition
problems.
!The drive is designed to accept discs which
correspond to the EN 60908 norm. You can
therefore only use discs with a maximum
thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con-
tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the device.
Use round discs with a diameter of 12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm, even if
used in conjunction 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.
DVD playback conditions
If video DVDs do not conform to the NTSC or PAL
TV standards, they may create picture, sound or
other problems during playback.
The multimedia system can play video DVDs
produced according to the following standards:
RRegion code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
RPAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details either
on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
iIf you insert a video DVD with a different
region code, a message to this effect appears.
iThe multimedia system is set to region code
1 at the factory. This setting can be changed
at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. It is
also possible to play video DVDs with a dif-
ferent region code, provided that they are
produced in accordance with the PAL or NTSC
TV standard. The region code can be changed
up to five times.

If weather data is available, the weather map
will then display the weather fronts.
The example shows the position of high and
low-pressure areas (H, L), weather fronts and

Legend: weather fronts
Weather
frontExplanation
Cold front
(blue line with
blue triangles)If a cold front moves in, the
weather remains changeable
and there are often rain
showers and thunderstorms. The air temperature decrea-
ses.
Warm front
(red line with
red semi-cir-
cles)A warm front may cause
more prolonged steady rain,
more cloud cover and a slow
rise in temperature.
Stationary
front
(red and blue
line with red
semi-circles
and blue trian-
gles)The weather front moves
minimally. The weather
remains changeable in this
area.
Occlusion
(purple line
with purple
semi-circles
and triangles)When the faster cold front
catches up and joins the
warm front ahead of it, an
occluded front is formed. The
weather remains changeable
and rainy within an occlu-
sion.
Displaying storm tracking information:
XActivate the TropicalStormTrackingdis-
play level (Ypage 182).
If weather data is available, the weather map
will then display storm tracking information.
Example: in the middle of the map you can see
the current position of the tropical low-pres-
sure area (cyclone). To the right of this a solid
line shows the previous path with positions
and times. The forecast for the direction of
propagation is shown by a dotted line with
positions and times.
You can find out detailed information on a
cyclone in the Storm Guide (Ypage 185).
A tropical storm is separated into different cat-
egories according to the location at which it
develops.
