Rear Seat Entertainment SystemGObserve Safety notes, see page 76.GWarning!
The driver should not wear a Rear Seat
Entertainment headphone while operating the
vehicle under any circumstances. The use of
a headphone while driving the vehicle could
drastically impair the ability to react to audible
traffic conditions (e.g. emergency sirens from
police/fire/ambulance, another car’s horn,
etc.).
GWarning!
When not in use, headphones or external
video sources should be stored in a safe
location (e.g. one of the vehicle’s storage
compartments) so that they are not loose
within the passenger compartment during
braking, vehicle maneuvers or a traffic
accident. Objects moving within the
passenger compartment could cause serious
personal injury to vehicle occupants.
GWarning!
Due to a potential choking hazard, wired
headphone usage by children should only
occur with adult supervision.
You can operate the Rear Seat Entertainment
System via the remote controls ( Y page 81)
that come with the vehicle.
The playback of audio and video sources with
the Rear Seat Entertainment System is
identical to playback with the COMAND to a
large extent.
The COMAND and the Rear Seat
Entertainment System can be operated
simultaneously almost independent of each
other. However, some menus may cause
conflicts when the systems are used by
multiple users. Conflicts can occur between
the rear screens as well as COMAND and the
Rear Seat Entertainment System.
Remote controls for Rear Seat
Entertainment System
The Rear Seat Entertainment System
contains two remote controls for the rear
passenger compartment.
For information on using the remote controls,
see ( Y page 81).
Headphones for Rear Seat
Entertainment System
The Rear Seat Entertainment System
contains two headphones for the rear
passenger compartment.

Garage door opener
The integrated remote control can operate up
to three separately controlled devices
compatible with HomeLink ®
or some other
systems.
GWarning!
Before programming the integrated remote
control to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and objects are
out of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. When
programming a garage door opener, the door
moves up or down. When programming a gate
operator, the gate opens or closes.
Do not use the integrated remote control with
any garage door opener that lacks safety stop
and reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the door
to stop and reverse - does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards.

When programming a garage door opener,
park vehicle outside the garage.
Do not run the engine while programming the
integrated remote control. Inhalation of
exhaust gas is hazardous to your health. All
exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO),
and inhaling it can cause unconsciousness
and possible death.
