Video DVD functions
Automatic picture shutoff
The picture automatically switches off on the
driver's side if the vehicle is travelling faster
than approximately 6 km/h when in video
DVD mode. The following message appears
in the display:
As soon as the vehicle speed drops below
about 3 km/h, the picture switches back on
again. Notes about handling DVDs
There may be playback problems when play-
ing copied discs. There are a large variety of
discs, DVD authoring software, disc writing
software and writers available. This variety
means that Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee
that the system will be able to play discs that
you have copied yourself.
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs,
as they could peel off and damage
COMAND. Stickers can also cause the disc
to bend, which can result in read errors and
disc recognition problems.
COMAND is designed to hold discs which
comply with the EN 60908 standard. There-
fore, you can only use discs with a maxi-
mum 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 COMAND.
Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm,
even with an adapter. Only use round discs
with a diameter of 12 cm.
R Only hold discs by the edge.
R Handle discs carefully to prevent reading
errors.
R Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and
dust on discs.
R Clean discs from time to time with a com-
mercially available cleaning cloth. Do not wipe them with a circular motion, but only
in straight lines from the centre outwards.
R To label discs, only use a pen designed for
such a purpose.
R Place discs back in their cases after use.
R Protect discs from heat and direct sunlight. DVD playback conditions
It is possible to buy video DVDs which do not
conform to the current standard. Such DVDs
may have picture, sound or other playback
problems.
COMAND can play back video DVDs pro-
duced according to the following standards:
R region code 2 or region code 0
R PAL or NTSC TV standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
COMAND is set to region code 2 at the fac-
tory. This setting can be changed a maximum
of five times by a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. 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 TV standard. Function restrictions
Depending on the DVD, it is possible that cer-
tain 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 Ksymbol in the display. Inserting and ejecting DVDs

.
Automatic picture shutoff If the vehicle is travelling faster than approx-
imately 6 km/h, the picture and teletext in TV
mode on the driver's side automatically
switch off. The following message appears in
the display:
In order not to distract
the driver, the picture is faded out
while the vehicle is in motion . As
soon as the vehicle speed drops below about
3 km/h, the picture switches back on again.
Switching off the picture and sound The constantly changing reception conditions
while the vehicle is in motion can interrupt the

may switch off the sound and freeze or hide
the picture. In this case, you will see the
respective symbol in the display. TV menu overview

mined due to a received RDS-TMC traffic
announcement, the navigation system

blockages.

next route guidance.
Setting route options This function allows you to set the following
options for route guidance:

toll sticker
R Avoid tunnels
R Avoid ferries

COMAND will verify whether it can imple-
ment the options if you have selected them
with route guidance active. If it can,
COMAND calculates a new route while
implementing the options selected. If it
cannot, you will see and hear a correspond-
ing message.
X Select OK.
COMAND calculates a new route. Only
those options which can be implemented
are considered. Installing map software
The digital maps generated by the map soft-
ware become outdated in the same way as
conventional road maps. Optimum route
guidance can only be provided by the naviga-
tion system in conjunction with the most up-
to-date map software. Information about new
map software versions can be obtained from
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
You can install new map software, which may
consist of one of more DVDs (depending on
the scope), yourself.
The installation process can take between
10 and 120 minutes, depending on the scope
of the map software. If the radio is switched
on before you start the installation process,
you can still adjust the volume. You can also
use COMAND to operate the automatic air-
conditioning system and to cancel the proc-
ess. Other functions are not operational. If
possible, carry out the installation process
when the vehicle is stationary. The DVD read
speed is higher when the vehicle is stationary
than when it is in motion, so less time is
required. If the starter battery is not suffi-
ciently charged, COMAND may end the proc-
ess automatically, in order to protect the bat-
tery. Therefore, let the engine idle during the
installation process. 132

Points to remember
G
Risk of injury
The seats can still be adjusted when there is
no key in the ignition lock. For this reason,
children should never be left unsupervised in
the vehicle. They could become trapped when
adjusting a seat. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle
is stationary. You will otherwise be distracted from the road and traffic conditions and you
could lose control of the vehicle as a result of
the seat moving. This could cause an acci-
dent. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when you adjust the seat.
Observe the notes concerning the airbag sys-
tem.
Secure children as recommended; see "Chil-
dren in the vehicle" section. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that the central area of the head
restraint supports the back of your head at
about eye level. You could seriously injure
your neck if your head is not correctly sup-
ported by the head restraint in the event of an
accident. Never travel without a correctly
adjusted and engaged head restraint.
! When you move the seats, make sure that
there are no objects in the footwell or
behind the seats. Otherwise, you could
damage the seats and the objects.
i The head restraints cannot be removed. Adjusting the seat electrically
