ECO mode MERCEDES-BENZ CLS-Class 2013 W218 Comand Manual

Stickers can cause the disc to bend, which
can result in read errors and disc
recognition problems.
! COMAND is designed to play discs that
comply with the EN 60908 standard.
Therefore, you can only use discs with a
maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that
contain data on both sides (DVD on one
side and audio data on the other), they
cannot be ejected and can damage the
device.
Only use round discs with a diameter of
12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of
8 cm, even with an adapter.
Playback problems may occur when playing
copied discs. There are a large variety of
discs, DVD authoring software, writing
software and writers available. This variety
means that 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.
COMAND is capable of playing back video
DVDs produced according to the following
standards:
R Region code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
R PAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
i If you insert a video DVD with a different
region code, you will see a message to this
effect.
i COMAND is set to region code 1 at the
factory. This setting can be changed at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. This will
allow you to play video DVDs with a
different region code, provided that they are produced in accordance with the PAL
or NTSC standard. The region code can be
changed up to five times. Function restrictions
Depending on the DVD, it is possible that
certain functions or actions will be
temporarily blocked or may not function at all.
As soon as you try to activate these functions
or actions, you will see the 0050symbol in the
display. Inserting and removing DVDs
