These operating instructions describe all the
standard and optional equipment of your multi-
media system, as available at the time of going
to press. Country-specifi cdifferences are pos-

Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cl e while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of th e vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic condition s and operatethe equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are driving when operating
th esystem.
General notes
Connection difficulties while the vehi-
cle is in motion
The connection may be lost if:
Rth e mobile phone network coverage is insuf-
ficient
Rth e vehicle has moved into a mobile phone
cell with no free channels
Rth eSI M card used is not compatible with the
network available
Function restrictions
You will not be able to use the Mercedes-Benz
Apps and Internet connection , or will no longer
be able to use them, or may have to wait before
using them, in th e following situations:
Rif the mobile phone is switched off
Rif your mobile phone has not been enabled for
Internet access
Rif the Bluetooth®function is switched off on
th e multimedia system and the desired phone
is supposed to be connecte d via Bluetooth

Rif neither the mobile phone network north e
mobile phone allow simultaneous use of a
phone and an Internet connection
Rif the mobile phone has not been enabled for
Internet access via Bluetoot h®and/or USB
The driver is not permitted to call up websites
while driving and use of the Mercedes-Benz
Apps is restricted.
iIt is possible that you may not be able to
receive calls when an Internet co nnection is
active. This depends on the mobile phone and
th e mobile phone network used.
Conditions for access
USA: to use Mercedes-Benz Apps and Internet
access, mbrace must be activated and opera-
tional. Furthermore, mbrace must be activated
fo rMercedes-Benz Apps and Internet access.
Take note of th e connection priorities. An emer-
gency cal lhas th e highest priority. Whenaser-
vice call, e.g. a breakdown service call or the MB
Info Call, is active, an emergency call can still be
initiated. A service call, on the other hand, has
priority over a current Internet connection.
Therefore, you cannot establish an Internet con-
nection duringaservice call.
Canada: a mobile phone must be connected via

The USB classes enable the mobile phone
Internet connection to be made available to
the system.
The terms of use are shown when the system is
used for the first time and then once a year
thereafter. Only read and accept the terms of
use when the vehicle is stationary.
The driver is not permitted to call up websites

Procedure and general information
In order to set up a mobile phone for Internet
access, your mobile phone must be connected
to the multimedia system via Bluetooth
®
(Ypage 113) or USB (Ypage 170).
If you are using Internet access for the first time,
you must enable the connected mobile phone
for Internet access (
Ypage 143). If the con-
nected mobile phone supports the Bluetooth®
PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,
CDC/NCM or CDC/ECM, you do not need to
make additional settings. The Internet connec-
tion is established. If the connected mobile
phone does not support the named Bluetooth
®
profile or the named USB classes, predefined (
Ypage 144) or manual access data
(Ypage 144) must be set.
While initializing the mobile phone for the Inter-
net connection, access data which is already on
the mobile phone may be overwritten. You
should therefore check the settings on the
mobile phone (see the manufacturer's operating
instructions).

Multisession CDs
For multisession CDs, the content of the first
session determines how the multimedia system
processes the CD. The multimedia system plays
only one session and gives priority to the audio
CD session.
File structure of a data carrier
When you create a disc with compressed music
files, the tracks can be organized in folders. A
folder may also contain subfolders. The disc
may contain no more than eight directory levels.
Files beyond the eighth level will not be recog-
nized by the system.
iThe multimedia system supports data carri-
ers with up to 50,000 files.
In the case of data media with more than
64 GB of stored data, only files in folders with the following names are supported: Music,
Pictures, Video.

files
Rfiles with variable bit rates
RWMA Pro
R5.1 surround sound
iOnly use tracks with a bit rate of at least
128 kbit/s and a sampling rate of at least
44.1 kHz. Lower rates can cause a noticeable
deterioration in quality. This is especially the
case if you have activated a surround sound
function.

Notes on copyright
Audio or video files that you create or reproduce
yourself for playback are generally subject to
copyright protection.
In many countries, reproductions, even for pri-
vate use, are not permitted without the prior
consent of the copyright holder.
Make sure that you know about the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply with
these.
Notes on CDs/DVDs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908 standard discs. Therefore, you can
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 drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even
when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
Discs with copy protection are not compatible
with the audio CD standard and therefore may
not be able to be played.
