computer (Y page 224).
After activation, the Äsymbol is dis-
played on the left in the driver display.
Vehicles with COMAND and a navigation sys-
tem*: the radar sensor system is switched off
automatically in the vicinity of radio telescope
facilities (Y page 411).
For PRE-SAFE ®
Brake to assist you when driv-
ing, the radar sensor system must be
switched on and operational.
PRE-SAFE ®
Brake does not always clearly
identify complex traffic situations properly.
You can terminate the intervention of PRE-
SAFE ®

at any time if:
R an acoustic and visual warning occurs
R the vehicle brakes gently
To end this you can either depress the accel-
erator pedal further, activate kickdown or
release the brake pedal.
The braking intervention of PRE-SAFE ®
Brake
is ended automatically if:
R you manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle.
R you drive slower than approximately
15 km/h.
R there is no longer an obstacle detected in
front of your vehicle.
R there is no longer any danger of a collision.
i While Distronic Plus is activated, PRE-
SAFE ®
Brake remains passive.
Following a collision or crash-related damage
to the front end of the vehicle, have the con-
figuration and operation of the radar sensors
checked. Choose a qualified specialist work-
shop for this which has the necessary spe-
cialist knowledge and tools for the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for
this purpose. Anti-theft systems

Introduction
Operating safety
G
Risk of accident
Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions.
Only use COMAND or the telephone* when
the road and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only
50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of
nearly 14 m per second. The navigation sys-
tem* will not provide you with information
about stop signs, give-way signs, traffic regu-
lations or road safety features. It is up to you
to pay attention to these while driving the
vehicle. Only enter a new destination when
the vehicle is stationary. G

Vehicles with BlueHYBRID *: make sure that
you read the "BlueHYBRID" supplement. You
may otherwise fail to detect dangers.

R For the optimum audio experience for all
passengers when LOGIC7 ®
is switched
on, the balance and fade should be set to
the centre of the passenger compart-
ment.
R You will achieve the best sound results
by playing high-quality audio and video
DVDs.
R MP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at
least 128 kbit/s.
R Surround-sound playback does not work
for mono signal sources, such as the
medium waveband in radio mode.
R If the radio reception is poor, e.g. in a
tunnel, you should switch off LOGIC7 ®because it may otherwise switch auto-
matically between stereo and mono and
therefore distort the sound temporarily.
R On some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ from conven-
tional stereo playback.

ing

X To brighten or dim: turn:or; to the
right or to the left.
i If Night View Assist Plus* is activated,
only the brightness of the multi-function
display is adjusted with control :.
Display design When the default settings are selected, the
display automatically switches between day
design and night design.
You can change these settings using
COMAND (Y
page 161). SPLITVIEW*
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.
For example, the "Navi" function can be used
from the driver's side while the "Video" func-
tion is used on the front-passenger side.
To operate COMAND from the front-
passenger side with SPLITVIEW, use the remote control and the special infrared head-
phones for the front passenger.
Please bear the following in mind: R
Volume adjustment on the headphones for
the front-passenger side can only be car-
ried out on the headphones. Before putting
on the headphones, make certain that the
volume has not been set too high.
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 on the DVD changer*. This means
that on the front-passenger side, the DVD
changer* cannot be used to play a different
medium, for instance a video DVD. How-
ever, 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,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings.
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 cor-
rectly.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV* and video, may be used separately with
SPLITVIEW.
R The multi-function steering wheel can only
used for functions which relate to the driv-
er's side. Introduction
