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).

Overviewand operation

On the mobile phone
XSwitch on the mobile phone and enter the PIN
when prompted to do so (see the manufac-
turer's operating instructions).
XActivate Bluetooth®and, if necessary, Blue-
tooth®visibility for other devices (see the
manufacturer's operating instructions).
This visibility is for restricted periods of time
on some mobile phones (see the manufactur-
er's operating instructions).
XSet the Bluetooth®device name for the
mobile phone if necessary.
The device names for all of one manufacturer's
products might be identical. To make it possible
to clearly identify your mobile phone, change
the device name (see the manufacturer's oper-
ating instructions). The name can be freely
selected.
If the mobile phone supports the PBAP (Phone
Book Access Profile) and MAP (Message
Access Profile) Bluetooth
®profiles, the follow-
ing information will be transmitted after you
connect:
RPhone book
RCall lists
RMessages
The battery of the mobile phone should always
be kept sufficiently charged in order to prevent
malfunctions.
iNot all mobile phones available on the mar-
ket are equally suitable. You can obtain more
detailed information about suitable mobile
phones and about the connection between
the mobile phone and the multimedia system on the Internet at
www.mercedes-benz.com/connect .
You can also obtain more information by call-
ing.
In the USA, you can get in touch with the
Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance Center
on 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372 ).
In Canada, you can get in touch with the Cus-
tomer Relations Center on 1-800-387-0100.

depend on the supported version of the
Hands-Free Profile.
Procedure and general information
Authorizing a mobile phone (connecting)
If you connect your mobile phone using NFC
(Near Field Communication) the NFC area of
your mobile phone has to touch the NFC logo on
the DVD changer/single DVD drive. The author-
ization then starts automatically. The NFC range
varies depending on the mobile phone and can
be identified by the logo. Further information
(see the manufacturer's operating instructions).
Before using your mobile phone without NFC
with the multimedia system, you will need to
search for the phone (
Ypage 115) and then
authorize it (Ypage 116). Depending on the
mobile phone, authorization either takes place
by means of Secure Simple Pairing or by enter-
ing a passkey. The multimedia system automat-
ically makes the procedure that is relevant for
your mobile phone available. You can recognize
Secure Simple Pairing by the fact that a code is displayed on the mobile phone and on the mul-
timedia system. You can recognize the passkey
system by the fact that you have to enter a code
on the mobile phone and on the multimedia sys-
tem. The mobile phone is always connected
automatically after authorization.
If the multimedia system does not detect your
mobile phone, this may be due to particular
security settings on your mobile phone. You can
also start the search procedure and authoriza-
tion on the mobile phone (
Ypage 116).
Device-specific information on authorizing and
connecting Bluetooth
®-capable mobile phones
can be obtained from an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center or via the Internet at http://
www.mercedes-benz.com/connect.
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones. After
authorization, the connection of the last two tel-
ephones used always functions automatically.
Only one mobile phone can be connected to the
multimedia system at any one time.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if
you leave the receiver range of the multime dia
system or deactivate Bluetooth
®on your mobile
phone.
If you no longer want the Bluetooth
®connection
to be established automatically, the mobile
phone must be de-authorized (disconnected)
(
Ypage 117).

XMultimedia system: selectYes.
XMobile phone: confirm the code. Depending
on the mobile phone used, you may have to

tem and for the PBAP and MAP Bluetooth
®
profiles. The prompt to confirm may take up
to two minutes to be displayed. You may also
save the confirmation on the mobile phone
(see the manufacturer's operating instruc-
tions).
The mobile phone is now authorized and con-
nected to the multimedia system. You can
now speak using the hands-free system.
To ensure an optimum language quality, you
can set the mobile phone's transmission and
reception volume (
Ypage 118).

phone; see the manufacturer's operating
instructions.

ize (connect) the mobile phone found
(
Ypage 116).
