tain useful tips and a detailed description
of the user functions.Operating safety
Warning!G
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should enter
system settings with the vehicle at a
standstill and operate the system only when
road and traffic conditions permit. Always
pay full attention to traffic conditions first
before operating system controls while
driving.

(approximately 50 km/h), your car is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 14 m) every second.
Warning!G
Any alterations made to electronic
components can cause malfunctions.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer*, satellite
radio*, and telephone* are interconnected.
When one of the components is not opera-
tional or has not been removed/replaced
properly, the function of other components
may be impaired.
This condition might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service
work on electronic components carried out
by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Safety precautions
General notes
The system may not be able to play audio
CDs with copy protection.
Playing copied CDs may cause
malfunctions during playback.Do not use CDs with an eight cm diameter,
not even with a CD adapter. Attempting to
play CDs with an eight cm diameter or
playing such CDs with an adapter may
cause damage to the CD drive. Such dam-
age is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
Should excessively high or low tempera-
tures occur while in CD changer mode*,
CD ERROR will appear in the display, and the
CD will be muted until the temperature has
reached an acceptable level for the system
to continue operation.

CD changer* can play audio CDs as well as
CDs with MP3 files.
Warning!G
The single CD player and the CD changer*
are Class 1 laser products. There is a danger
of invisible laser radiation if the housing is
opened or damaged.
Do not open the housing. The single CD
player and the CD changer* do not contain
any parts that can be serviced by the user.
For safety reasons, have any necessary ser-
vice work performed only by qualified per-
sonnel.
Warning!G
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should insert
CDs with the vehicle at a standstill and oper-
ate the audio system only if permitted by
road, weather and traffic conditions.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) ev-
ery second.
!If you affix stickers to the CDs, they can be-
come warped due to the heat that develops in
the CD drive or CD changer.
In certain situations, the CDs can then no longer
be ejected and cause damage to the drive. Such
damage is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
!Your CD drive or CD changer* has been de-
signed to play CDs which correspond to the
EN 60908 standard. You can therefore only use
CDs with a maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g. ones that
have data on both sides (one side with DVD data,
the other side with audio data), they cannot be
ejected and will damage the drive.

Tips on handling CDs
Handle CDs carefully to prevent
interference during playback.
Avoid scratches, fingerprints and dust
on the CDs.
Do not write on CDs or apply any labels
or other material to them.
Clean CDs from time to time with a
commercially available cleaning cloth.
Never wipe the CD in a circular motion;
instead, wipe it in a straight line start-
ing in the center and moving outward.
Do not use solvents, anti-static sprays,
etc. for cleaning.
Replace the CD in its case after use.
Protect CDs from heat and direct
sunlight.MP3 notes
The CD changer* can play audio CDs as
well as CDs with MP3 files.
Information on MP3 data carriersCompatible MP3 data carriers
The CD changer can read the following
data carriers in MP3 mode:
CD-DA
CD-R
CD-RW
Compatible file systems and compres-
sion methods
Use Romeo or Joliet. Depending on file
format used, up to 128 characters are
possible
The following compression methods are
compatible:
MP3
WMA
WAV
iCD media, CD burning software and
CD writers are available in great variety. Due to
this variety, it cannot be guaranteed that the CD
changer will be able to play every user-written
CD.
The burning process can lead to data errors and
aging of the medium may result in data loss.
Therefore, the CD changer may be restricted in
its ability to play MP3 data carriers; it may play
them with reduced sound quality, or it may not
be able to play them at all.
Problems may be encountered during playback
of user-written CDs with a storage capacity of
more than 700 MB. These CDs do not meet valid
standards as of this printing.
