i The volume of external audio sources is
extremely variable. It is possible that a
device connected as an external audio
source will sound quieter or louder in the
vehicle or that the usual maximum volume
cannot be achieved. On certain devices the
volume can be set separately. In this case,
start at a moderate volume and increase it
slowly. In this way, you can determine

Safety Notes
GWarning
COMAND is classified as a Class 1 laser
product. You must not open the casing. There
is a risk of exposure to invisible laser radiation
if you open the casing, or if the casing is faulty
or damaged.
COMAND does not contain any parts that you
are able to maintain yourself. For safety
reasons, all maintenance work must be
exclusively carried out by qualified
technicians.
GWarning
Only carry out the following when the vehicle
is stationary:
R Inserting a disc
R Ejecting a disc
There is a risk of accident by being distracted
from road and traffic conditions if you load a
CD/DVD while the vehicle is in motion.
Vehicle Equipment
i This Operator’s Manual describes all
features, standard or optional, potentially
available for your vehicle at the time of
purchase. Please be aware that your
vehicle might not be equipped with all
features described in this manual.
Automatic Picture Switch-off
The video picture is only displayed if the
gearshift lever is in “P” position.
When the gearshift lever is moved out of the
“P” position, the following message is
displayed: In order not to distract
you from the traffic situation, the
picture is faded out while the
vehicle is in motion.
When the gearshift lever is moved back into
the “P” position, the picture switches back
on.
Notes on Storage Media
i When playing copied discs, problems may
occur with the playback. A wide variety of
disc-writing software and writers are
available. Due to this variety we cannot
guarantee that the system will be able to
play discs that you have written/copied
yourself.
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs,
as they could peel off and damage
COMAND. Stickers can 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. You
can therefore only use discs with a
maximum 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.
Notes on the Care of Discs
R Only hold discs by the edge.
R Handle discs with care in order to prevent
malfunctions during playback.
R Avoid scratching, leaving fingerprints and
dust on the discs.
R Clean the discs occasionally with a
commercially available cleaning cloth.
Always wipe in a straight line from the
inside outwards, never in a circular motion.

DVD Playback Conditions
Some DVDs may not comply with the NTSC
or PAL TV playback standards. Sound, picture
and other playback problems may occur
when you play such DVDs.
As standard, COMAND can play video DVDs
which meet the following criteria:
R Region code 1 or region code 0 (all regions)
i With a video DVD having another region
code, a corresponding message will be
displayed.
R PAL or NTSC TV standard
Information on this can usually be found
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD sleeve.
i The factory setting for COMAND is region
code 1. An authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center can change this setting up to five
times. This will enable you to play video
DVDs with other region codes, provided
that they have been made to the PAL or
NTSC TV standard.
Functional Restrictions
It may be the case that some functions or
actions may not be possible at certain times,
or may not be possible in general, depending
on the DVD.
