Method of operation
SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-
passenger side and on the driver's side.
Different content is seen depending on your
perspective when viewing the display. The navigation function, for example, can be
used from the driver's side while a video is
watched from the front-passenger side.
SPLITVIEW is operated with the COMAND
remote control from the front-passenger
side.
To do so, use the special radio headphones.
Using the headphones on the correct sides
ensures an optimal sound.
You can connect your own headphones to a
special headphones jack. You can use the
COMAND remote control to operate them.
Points to remember
R You can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the
headphones.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW.
R Videos cannot be shown on the driver's
side while the vehicle is in motion.
R If media from different sources are used,
these can be used separately from the
driver's and front-passenger sides.
Example: if a medium from the DVD
changer is being played on the driver's side.
then another medium that is also played
from the DVD changer cannot be played
separately on the front-passenger side.
However, other media can be used on the
front-passenger side at the same time,
including the radio, memory card, MEDIA
REGISTER, Media Interface, USB or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective
settings. The "last one wins" principle
applies here, i.e. the last setting activated
is favored.
R The Internet can be separately used by both
the driver and front passenger at the same
time.
R Internet can only be used if it is set and
connected via a mobile phone on the
driver's side. SPLITVIEW

the operating positions. Example: a film
from the DVD drive is played on the rear
right-hand operating position. This means
that another film from the same DVD
cannot be played separately on the rear
left-hand operating position. However, it is
possible to use the radio, memory card,
MUSIC REGISTER, Media Interface, USB,
online and Internet functions or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective
settings. The "last one wins" principle applies here, i.e. the last setting activated

Your COMAND equipment
These operating instructions describe all
standard and optional equipment available
for your COMAND system at the time of
purchase. Country-specific differences are
possible. Please note that your
COMAND system may not be equipped with
all the features described. This also applies to
safety-relevant systems and functions.
Therefore, the equipment on your COMAND
system may differ from that in the
descriptions and illustrations. Should you
have any questions concerning equipment
and operation, please consult an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. Introduction
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and
communication equipment integrated in the
vehicle while driving, you will be distracted
from traffic conditions. You could also lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the
equipment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating COMAND.
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R merging lanes
R parking or stopping in a no parking/no
stopping zone R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
R narrow bridges
COMAND can give incorrect navigation
commands if the actual street/traffic
situation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. Digital maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes in an area. For example,
a route may have been diverted or the
direction of a one-way street may have
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and
regulations always have priority over the
system's driving recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Looking at the icons or map display can
distract you from traffic conditions and
driving, and increase the risk of an accident. General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
whenever operational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible.
GPS reception Among other things, correct functioning of
the navigation system depends on GPS
reception. In certain situations, GPS
reception may be impaired, there may be
interference or there may be no reception at
all, e.g. in tunnels or parking garages.
i Using roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone,
satellite radio, GPS). 68

IntroductionNavigation

Off-road during route guidance
Due to roadworks, for example, there may be
differences between the data on the digital
map and the actual course of the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the
digital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off-
road position.
In the display, you will see the Road Off Road Off
Map
Map message, an arrow and the distance to
the destination. The direction arrow shows
the compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way. Real-time traffic reports
Prerequisites

Introduction The digital maps generated by the map
software become outdated in the same way
as conventional road maps. Optimal route
guidance can only be provided by
the navigation system in conjunction with the
most up-to-date map software.
Information about new versions of the digital
map can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. You can have the
digital map updated there using a data
medium, or you can update it yourself. Navigation functions
