RThe DVD changer can playback only one
media source at a time. Example: if the
driver is playing an audio CD, the front
passenger can not play a different medium
(e.g. DVD video) from the DVD changer.
However, it is possible for the front
passenger to play media from radio,
memory card, MUSIC REGISTER, media
interface, USB, AUX or Rear Seat
Entertainment System.
RWhen driver and front passenger are using
the same medium, each can select
individual settings for that medium.
RCOMAND transmits music and voice to the
wireless headphone for the front passenger
side via infrared signal. The headphone and
the display must have visual contact. This
provides best possible transmission of the
infrared signal to the headphone. Please
note that the headphone has a left and right
side and must be used accordingly.
RWhen SPLITVIEW is on, the front passenger
can operate audio or video functions only.
RThe multifunction steering wheel lets you
operate functions for the driver’s side only.

COMAND navigation system (route

Route guidance
GObserve Safety notes, see page 95.
COMAND guides you to the destination using
navigation commands in the form of audible
navigation announcements and route
guidance displays.
iThe route guidance displays can only be
seen if the display is switched to navigation
mode.
If, for any reason, you do not follow the
navigation commands or if you leave the
calculated route, COMAND automatically
calculates a new route to the destination.
If the map data contains the relevant
information, COMAND tries to avoid roads
that only have limited access, e.g. roads
closed to through-traffic and non-residents.

Once you have reached your destination, you

POIs (airports or highway junctions), you will
hear the announcement You have reached
the destination area. In addition, you will
see a corresponding display and route

iAn additional announcement may sound
for some destinations, for example
selected POIs or destination entries that
include the house number, telling you
whether the destination is on the left or
right side of the street.
Partially digitized areas
iThe digital map may contain areas that
are only partially attributed.
GWarning!
Due to incomplete digitization, the route
shown on the map may differ from the actual
road/traffic situation.
If you follow the route shown on the map, for
example, it is possible that you could drive the
wrong way down a one-way street or that a
street cannot be driven on.
When using route guidance in a partially
attributed area, you must therefore be sure to
observe all relevant traffic regulations and the
course of the road.
All relevant traffic regulations and the course
of the road always take priority over the route
shown on the map.
