Surround sound
General information
If your vehicle is equipped with the harman/
kardon
®
Logic 7 ®
surround sound system,
you can provide the optimum sound
experience for every passenger.
The harman/kardon ®
Logic7 ®
surround
sound system is available for the following
operating modes:
R radio (FM only)
R satellite radio
R audio CD
R audio DVD (MLP™, dts™, PCM and
Dolby ®
Digital audio formats)
R MP3
R Media Interface
R video DVD (PCM, dts™ and Dolby ®
Digital
audio formats)
R AUX
Because some DVDs contain both stereo and
multichannel audio formats, it may be
necessary to set the audio format
(Y page 216).
i The Logic7 ®
ON function enables
playback of stereo recordings, for instance,
with a surround sound experience for every
passenger. It enables optimum playback of
music and films on CDs, audio DVDs or
video DVDs with multichannel audio
formats, such as MLP™, dts™ or Dolby ®
Digital. This results in sound
characteristics like those intended by the
sound engineer when the original was
recorded.
i If you select Logic7 ®
OFF , the sound
system plays all playable formats as stored
on the medium. Due to the design of the
passenger compartment, an optimum
audio experience cannot be guaranteed for
all passengers.
i Discs which support the audio formats
mentioned have the following logos: Dolby

optimum audio experience for all
passengers.
You will achieve the best sound results by
playing high-quality audio and video DVDs.
MP3 tracks should have abit rate of at least
128 kbit/s.
Surround sound playback does not
function for mono signal sources, such as
for AM radio mode.
If radio receptio nis poor, e.g. in a tunnel,
you should switch off Logic7 ®
, since it may
otherwise switch dynamically between
stereo and mono and cause temporary
sound distortions.
On some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ from
conventional stereo playback. System settings

Navigation
Introduction
Safety notes G
WARNING
For safety reasons, onl yenter a destination
when the vehicle is stationary .When the
vehicle is in motion, apassenger should enter
the destination .Study manual and select
route before driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 fee t(approximately
14 m) every second.
COMAND calculates the rout eto the
destination without taking account of the
following:
R Traffic lights
R Stop and right-of-way-signs
R Lane merging
R Parking or stopping prohibited areas
R Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R Narrow bridges G
WARNING
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map does
not correspond with the actual road/traffic
situation. Digital maps do not cover all areas
nor all routes within an area. For example, if
the traffic routing has been changed or the
direction of a one-way road has been
reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and
regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands
generated by the system. G
WARNING
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving. Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Looking at the icons or map display can
distract you from traffic conditions and
driving, and increase the risk of an accident.
General information Operational readiness of the navigation
system
The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
whenever operational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible.
GPS reception
Correct functioning of the navigation system
depends, amongst other things, on GPS
reception
.Incertain situations, GPS
reception may be impaired, there may be
interference or there may be no reception at
all, e.g. in tunnels or parking garages.
Entry restriction
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a
restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed
of over approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). As
soon as speed falls below approximately
2 mph (3 km/h), the restriction becomes
inactive.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. This will be indicated by the
fact that certain menu items are grayed out
and cannot be selected.
The following functions, for example, may
therefore not be available while the vehicle is
in motion:
R entering the destination city and street
R entering a destination via the map
R entering points of interest in the vicinity of
a city or via a name search
R editing entries
R using the number keypad for direct entry 138
