DAB 6
(Digital Audio Broadcasting) is an opti-
mised digital transmission standard designed
for the mobile reception of radio transmis-
sions. Several programmes are combined
into so-called ensembles and transmitted on
one single frequency. Digital radio stations
can be transmitted nationally, regionally or
locally.
Digital stations are selected and saved in the
same way as analogue stations. The following
section therefore lists only those features
specific to DAB. Some stations only transmit programmes at
certain times. If you have selected a station
that is subsequently removed from the
ensemble, it will no longer be received. You
will continue to receive the other pro-
grammes in the ensemble. Select either a dif-
ferent programme or a different ensemble. Switching to DAB radio mode

An ensemble consists of multiple radio pro-
grammes. Every ensemble is transmitted in a
certain area (national, regional or local) in the
same way as a traditional AM/FM radio sta-
tion.

those entries from the address book which
contain at least one telephone number.
In addition, the first entry is "MB Contact",
which can be used to place a call to the
Mercedes-Benz Hotline.
The address book organises and stores
entries which are entered from different sour-
ces (mobile phone, SD memory card, Blue-
tooth ®
import, COMAND phone book, navi-
gation). You can use these entries to make
telephone calls, for navigation and for writing
(text messages).

tooth

using the mobile phone bracket*, contacts
(phone book entries) are automatically impor-
ted from the respective mobile phone to the

Depending on the mobile phone, this process
may take some time. Depending on the
mobile phone used, only the phone book
entries in the mobile phone or these entries
and the phone book entries in the SIM card
are imported.

Safety notes
G
Risk of accident
For safety reasons, only enter a new destina-
tion when the vehicle is stationary.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R lane narrowing
R other road and traffic controls and regula-
tions
For this reason, you must always observe the
respective road and traffic rules and regula-
tions during your journey. Road and traffic
controls and regulations always have priority
over the navigation announcements gener-
ated by the system. General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system In vehicles for certain countries, the naviga-
tion system is not operational immediately
after delivery because the map software is
not pre-installed there.
If this is the case, you will see the following
message when you switch to navigation
mode:
The map software must be
installed. Please insert the DVD
containing the map software. Navigation system* (introduction)
