Overview and operation

than the driver. Different content is seen
depending on your perspective when viewing
the display.
The navigation function, for example, can be
used from the driver's side while a video is
watched from the front-passenger side.
SPLITVIEW is operated with the COMAND
remote control from the front-passenger side.
To do so, use the special radio headphones.
Using the headphones on the correct sides
ensures an optimal sound.
You can connect your own headphones to a
special headphones jack. You can use the
COMAND remote control to operate them.
Points to remember
RYou can only adjust the volume for the head-
phones supplied, directly on the headphones.
ROnly entertainment functions, i.e. radio, TV,
video and Internet, for example, may be usedwith SPLITVIEW.
RVideos cannot be shown on the driver's side
while the vehicle is in motion.
RIf media from different sources are used,
these can be used separately from the driv-
er's and front-passenger sides.
Example:
A medium is being played on the DVD changeron the driver's side. It is not possible for the
front passenger to play any other medium
that is inserted in the DVD changer from the
front-passenger side. However, other media
can be used on the front-passenger side at
the same time, including the radio, memory
card, MEDIA REGISTER, Media Interface, USB
or AUX.
RIf you use the same medium on both the driv-
er's and front passenger sides, settings can
be made from both sides. In this case, the last
setting made takes precedence.
RRequirement for Internet use (USA): mbrace
must be activated for Internet access in the
multimedia system on the driver's side
(
Ypage 142).
RRequirement for Internet use (Canada): a
mobile phone must be connected via Blue-
tooth
®or USB to the multimedia system on
the driver's side (Ypage 142).
RThe Internet can be separately used by both
the driver and front passenger at the same
time.
RThe multifunction steering wheel can be used
to control the functions which relate to the
driver's side, but not for the front-passenger
side.
RThe driver can lock or unlock the other
screens (override feature) (Ypage 63).
