General information
With the Automatic Volume Adjustment
function, the volumes of different audio sour-
ces are adjusted for each other, to compen-
sate for relative differences in volume.
For example: changing from a relatively
quiet to a relatively loud radio station. The
volume for both stations sounds the same.
Manual readjustment of the volume is not
required.
The Automatic Volume Adjustment
func-
tion is deactivated ªwhen the vehicle leaves
the factory. Using this function, the dynamic
range of the music is slightly reduced. To
make the most of the audiophile sound qual- ity, it is recommended to leave it off.

Procedure and general information
Searching for and authorizing (connect-
ing) a mobile phone
Before using your mobile phone with
COMAND for the first time, 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
114Connecting/disconnecting a mobile phone
Telephone

entering a passkey. COMAND automatically
enables the procedure suited to your mobile
phone. You can recognize Secure Simple Pair-
ing by a code which is displayed in COMAND
and on the mobile phone. You can recognize
the passkey system by the fact that you haveto enter a code on the mobile phone and in
COMAND. The mobile phone is always con-
nected automatically after authorization.
If COMAND 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 authorization
on the mobile phone (
Ypage 116).
Device-specific information on authorizing
and connecting Bluetooth
®-capable mobile
phones can be found on the Internet at
http://www.mercedes-benz.com/
connect.
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones.
Only one mobile phone can be connected to
COMAND at any one time.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if
you leave the receiver range of COMAND or
deactivate Bluetooth
®on your mobile phone.
If you no longer want the Bluetooth
®connec-
tion to be established automatically, the
mobile phone must be de-authorized (discon-
nected) (
Ypage 118).
