If a video DVD is playing when the vehicle is
shifted from park position P into neutral
position N or drive position D the picture is
faded out automatically and the following
message appears in the display: In order
not to distract driver, picture is
faded out while the vehicle is in
motion.
When the vehicle is shifted back into park
position P, the picture comes on again.
When the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear
R, the rear view camera appears in the display
during video DVD playback.
Notes about video DVD operation
COMAND can playback commercially
available, prerecorded video DVDs that bear
the following label. You will usually find the
label on the DVD booklet, the inlay, or the
DVD itself.
iVideo DVDs differ from recordable DVD-
R and DVD-RW discs.
iThere may be playback problems when
playing copied DVDs.
There is a large variety of discs, disc-writing
software and writers available. This variety
means that there is no guarantee that the
system will be able to play discs that you
have written/copied yourself.
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.
COMAND can playback video DVDs meeting
the following requirements:
RCorrect regional code
RNTSC or PAL TV standard
The appropriate information is usually given
either on the DVD or the DVD box. The factory
setting of COMAND is regional code 1. This
setting can only be changed five times at
most by an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. This will allow you to playback video
DVDs with other regional codes, as long as
they comply with the NTSC or PAL TV
standard.
Notes about DVDs
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
These could peel away and damage
COMAND. COMAND is designed to hold
discs which comply with the IEC 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 CDs with a diameter of 8 cm.
Attempting to play discs with a diameter of
8 cm or playing such discs with an adapter
may cause damage COMAND.
Such damages are not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Only use round discs with a diameter of
12 cm.

GWarning!
Please do not use the Voice Control System
in an emergency, as the tone of your voice
may change in a stressful situation. This could
cause a delay in completing your phone call
in a timely manner. This could distract you in
an emergency situation and cause you to be
involved in an accident.
General information
Depending on vehicle equipment, you can
operate the following systems via the Voice
Control System:
RTelephone (Y page 245)
RNavigation (Y page 240)
RAddress book (Y page 249)
RAudio (Y page 252) (AM/FM radio,
Satellite radio, CD/DVD changer, MP3
mode (SD card, USB, Music Register, Media
Interface), AUX)
RVideo
You control these systems using spoken
commands. Moreover, controls such as the
buttons on the multifunction steering wheel
(Y page 238) allow you to keep your hands
on the steering wheel.
The Voice Control System recognizes
commands and number sequences,
irrespective of the speaker. To optimize
speech recognition for your voice follow the
individualization process (Y page 271).
You can use the Voice Control System to call
up all of COMAND’s main menu items.
The commands can be spoken without
pausing between the individual words. If an
unavailable or incorrect command is used,
the Voice Control System will prompt you for
a new command by asking “Please repeat” or
“Please repeat your entry”.
The Voice Control System will confirm
important commands and inform you in case
of incorrect entries.
iTo support the user, the Voice Control
System contains an extensive help function
(Y page 267).
You can use the commands “Continue” or
“Back” to scroll up or down in lists.
The command “Correction” lets you repeat
the entry.

Intermittent wiping
Only switch on intermittent wiping under wet
weather conditions or in the presence of
precipitation.
When you select intermittent wiping, the rain
sensor is activated. The rain sensor sets a
suitable wiping interval depending on the
wetness of the sensor surface automatically.
! Do not leave windshield wipers on an
intermittent setting when the vehicle is
taken to an automatic car wash or during
windshield cleaning. Windshield wipers will
operate in the presence of water sprayed
on the windshield, and windshield wipers
may be damaged as a result.
! If you have set intermittent wiping, dirt on
the surface of the rain sensor or optical
effects may cause the windshield wipers to
wipe in an undesired fashion. This could
then damage the windshield wiper blades
or scratch the windshield. You should
therefore switch off the windshield wipers
when weather conditions are dry.
XTurn the combination switch to position
004E or 004F .
After the initial wipe, pauses between
wipes are controlled by the rain sensor
automatically.
Intermittent wiping is interrupted when the
vehicle is at a standstill and a front door is
opened. This protects persons getting into or
out of the vehicle from being sprayed.
Intermittent wiping will be continued when all
doors are closed and

Wiping with washer fluid
XPress the combination switch in direction
of arrow 0087 past the resistance point.
The windshield wipers operate with washer
fluid.
i To prevent smears on the windshield or
noisy/chattering wiper blades, wipe with
washer fluid every now and then even when
it is raining.
For information on filling up the washer
reservoir, see “Washer system and headlamp
cleaning system” ( Y page 409).
For information on cleaning the headlamps
with washer fluid, see “Headlamp cleaning
system” ( Y page 303).
Problems with wipers
! If anything blocks the windshield wipers
(leaves, snow, etc.), switch them off
immediately.
For safety reasons, do the following before
attempting to remove any blockage:
R Stop the vehicle in a safe location.
R Remove the SmartKey from the starter
switch.
or
R Turn off the engine by pressing the
KEYLESS-GO start/stop button and
open the driver’s door (with the driver’s
door open, starter switch is in position
0 , same as with SmartKey removed from
starter switch).
R Engage the electronic parking brake.
