General information
With the Automatic Volume Adjustment
function, the volumes of different audio sour-
ces are adjusted for each other, to compen-
sate for relative differences in volume.
For example: changing from a relatively
quiet to a relatively loud radio station. The
volume for both stations sounds the same.
Manual readjustment of the volume is not
required.
The Automatic Volume Adjustment
func-
tion is deactivated ªwhen the vehicle leaves
the factory. Using this function, the dynamic
range of the music is slightly reduced. To

current Internet connection. Therefore, you
cannot establish an Internet connection dur-
ing a service call.
Canada:a mobile phone must be connected
via Bluetooth
®(Ypage 140) or USB
(
Ypage 235) with COMAND. Furthermore,
you need a valid mobile service contract with
a data option, which is used to calculate the
associated connection costs.
Conditions for a Bluetooth
®connection
RThe mobile phone supports at least one of
the Bluetooth®profiles DUN ( Dial-U p
Networking) or PAN ( PersonalArea
Network).
The Bluetooth
®profiles DUN and PAN ena-
ble the Internet connection of the mobile
phone to be made available to the system.
Conditions for a USB connection
RThe mobile phone supports at least one of
the USB classes:
-RNDIS ( Remote Network Driver Inter-
face Specification)
-CDC/NCM ( NetworkControl Model)
-CDC/ECM ( Ethernet Control Model)
-CDC/ACM ( Access Control Model)
The USB classes enable the mobile phone
Internet connection to be made available to
the system.
The terms of use are shown when the system
is used for the first time and then once a year
thereafter. Only read and accept the terms of
use when the vehicle is stationary.
The driver is not permitted to call up websites
while driving and use of the Me
rcedes-Benz
Apps is restricted.
iThe availability of individual Mercedes-
Benz Apps may vary depending on the
country.
Setting up an Internet connection
(Canada)
Procedure and general information
If you are using Internet access for the first
time, you must enable the connected mobile
phone for Internet access (
Ypage 177). If the
connected mobile phone supports the Blue-
tooth
®PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,
CDC/NCM or CDC/ECM, you do not need to
make additional settings. The Internet con-
nection is established. If the connected
mobile phone does not support the named
Bluetooth
®profile or the named USB classes,
predefined (
Ypage 178) or manual access
data (
Ypage 179) must be set.
While initializing the mobile phone for the
Internet connection, access data which is
already on the mobile phone may be over-
written. You should therefore check the set-
tings on the mobile phone (see the manufac-
turer's operating instructions).
Enabling the mobile phone for Inter-
net access

Bluetooth®audio mode
Connecting Bluetooth®audio devices
Prerequisites
XActivate the Bluetooth®function in
COMAND (
Ypage 55).
Bluetooth
®audio mode requires a Blue-
tooth®-capable audio device.
Check your Bluetooth
®audio device for the
following (see the manufacturer's operating
instructions):
RBluetooth®audio profile
The Bluetooth
®audio device must support
the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth®audio
profiles.
RBluetooth®visibility
Certain Bluetooth
®audio devices do not
just require activation of the Bluetooth®
function. In addition, your device must be
made "visible" to other devices.
RBluetooth®device name
This device name is predetermined but can
usually be changed. For a clear selection of the Bluetooth
®device, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you customize the device
name.
iA2DP ( Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile): Bluetooth®audio profile for audio
data transmission
AVRCP ( Audio Video Remote Control
Profile): Bluetooth
®audio profile for audio
data playback.
iThe Bluetooth®device must be visible for
authorization. After authorization,
COMAND even finds the Bluetooth
®device
when it is not visible.
XThe Bluetooth®function in COMAND must
be activated (
Ypage 55).
General notes
Before using your Bluetooth®audio device
with COMAND for the first time, you will need
to authorize it.
When you authorize a new Bluetooth
®audio
device, it is connected automatically. Con-
nection involves first searching for a Blue-
tooth
®audio device and then authorizing it.
You can authorize up to fifteen Bluetooth
®
devices.
iIf you authorize a mobile phone that sup-
ports Bluetooth®audio, the A2DP and
AVRCP Bluetooth®audio profiles are con-
nected automatically.
The mobile phone is then entered:
Rin the Bluetooth®telephone list
(
Ypage 142)
Rin the Bluetooth®device list
(
Ypage 229)
Mercedes-Benz recommends authorizing a
mobile phone in Bluetooth
®telephony
(
Ypage 142).
iIf the mobile phone that is connected only
supports two Bluetooth®profiles at the
same time, COMAND functions may
behave as follows:
Rwhen connecting to the Internet, play-
back is stopped on the Bluetooth®audio
device.
Rwhen starting playback on the Blue-
tooth®audio device, the Internet con-
nection is ended.
