i This function is only available in audio CD
mode and during operation with the instal-
led hard disk.
There is a version of Gracenote ®
's music
identification technology (Emeryville, Califor-
nia, USA) on the hard disk. You will recognise
this by the logo which can be seen in the bot-
tom right-hand corner of certain audio dis-
plays. Many audio CDs contain CD text. COMAND
uses the information contained therein to dis-
play the artist, album and track name.
If the audio CD does not contain any CD text
information, COMAND can use the Grace-
note
®
Media Database to recognise unknown
audio titles when running in audio CD mode.
The prerequisites for this are that the relevant
information be stored in the Gracenote ®
Media Database and that the "Read CD data-
base" function is activated.
If this is the case, COMAND will display the
available data such as artist, album and track
name in the relevant displays and lists.
If COMAND accesses the Gracenote ®
Media
Database when reading an audio CD, you see
the following information: Adjusting the audio format

Safety notes
G
Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the country
in which you are currently driving regarding
operating mobile communications equipment
in a vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communi-
cations equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you may only do so when the traffic
situation allows. Otherwise, you could be dis-
tracted from the traffic conditions, cause an
accident and injure yourself and others.
Two-way radios and fax equipment used with-
out low-reflection exterior aerials can inter-
fere with the vehicle's electronics and,
thereby, jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle and your safety. Therefore, you
must only use this equipment if it is correctly
connected to a separate, reflection-free, exte-
rior aerial. G
Risk of accident
For reasons of safety, only use hands-free
mode if you use the telephone when driving.
If you use hands-free mode to make a call, you
must continue to drive carefully, close all the
windows and prevent any disruptive noises. General notes
