SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-
passenger side and on the driver's side.
Depending on the viewing angle of the display
(from the driver's seat or from the front-
passenger seat), you will see two different
displays.116At a glanceCOMAND

For example, the "Navi" function can be used
from the driver's side while the "Video"
function is used on the front-passenger side.
Use the remote control to operate COMAND
from the front-passenger side with
SPLITVIEW.
Please bear the following in mind
R Your vehicle may be equipped with
SPLITVIEW, depending on its date of
production. The use of SPLITVIEW is
currently not permitted in the following
states: AL, AZ, CO, IL, LA, MA, MD, NH, PA,
VA, VT, WA, WI, and WV or in the Canadian
provinces of Manitoba, Newfoundland,
New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.
It is the driver's responsibility to observe
ALL regional legally prescribed regulations.
If your vehicle is registered in a state or
province in which SPLITVIEW is not
approved, this function must be
deactivated. Please contact an authorized
specialist dealer to check whether
SPLITVIEW is approved in your state or
province.
R Volume adjustment for the cordless
headphones can be carried out on the
headphones. Before putting on the
headphones, make sure that the volume
has not been set too high.
R The remote control can be used for the
volume adjustment of corded headphones.
R You can only use media from the driver's
and front-passenger sides separately if the
media are from different sources. Example:
on the driver's side, an audio CD is being
played by the DVD changer. This means
that on the front-passenger side, the DVD
changer cannot be used to play a different
disc type, for instance a video DVD.
However, other media can be used at the
same time on the front-passenger side,
including radio, memory card, MUSIC
REGISTER, Media Interface, USB or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
settings for this medium can be carried out
from either side.R There must be intervisibility between the
headphones and the display so that
COMAND can optimally transmit music and
speech via the infrared signal on the front-
passenger's headphones. For this reason,
please also observe that the headphones
have left and right sides, and use them
correctly.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio
and video, can be used separately via
SPLITVIEW.
R The multifunction steering wheel can only
be used for functions which relate to the
driver's side.
