829 Audio CD/ audio DVD and MP3 Safety notes Risk of injury COMAND is classified as Class 1 laser product. You must not open the casing. There is the risk of exposure to invisible laser radiation if you open the casing, or if the casing is faulty or damaged. COMAND does not contain any parts that can be serviced by the user. For safety reasons, have any necessary maintenance work carried out by qualified after sales technicians only. Risk of accident Do the following only the vehicle is stationary:

Loading the disc Ejecting the disc There is a risk of being distracted from the road and traffic conditions if this is done while vehicle is in motion. Notes about MP3 mode Permissible discs

CD-R and CD-RW

DVD+R and DVD+RW

DVD-R and DVD-RW

PCMCIA-Card Permissible file systems

ISO9660/Joliet for CD-data writer

UDF for DVD-data writer

FAT16 or FAT32 for PCMCIA-Cards with storage medium Multisession CDs For multisession CDs, the content of the first session determines ho COMAND will process the CD. If the first session contains data in audio CD format, for example, and the second session contains MP3 tracks, COMAND will treat the CD as a conventional audio CD. This means that it is not possible to access the MP3 tracks. If the first session contains MP3 tracks, for example, and the second session contains data in audio CD format, COMAND will treat the CD as an MP3 file. This means that it is not possible to access the audio CD tracks. File structure on a disc When you create an MP3 discs, the MP3 tracks can be organized in folders. A folder can also contain other folders. A disc can contain a maximum of 255 folders. Each folder can contain a maximum of 255 tracks and 255 folders. A disc can contain a maximum of 4,000 tracks. Track and file names When you create an MP3 discs, you can assign names to the MP3 tracks and folders. COMAND uses these names for the corresponding display in MP3 mode. Empty folders or folders which contain data other than MP3 tracks are not displayed by COMAND. If MP3 files are stored in the root directory itself, the root directory will also be treated as a folder. COMAND will then show the name of the root directory as the folder name. You must observe the following when assigning track names:

Track names must have at lease one character.

Track names must have the extension mp3

There must be a full stop between the track name and the extension. Example of a correct track name:

Track1.mp3

i COMAND does not support ID3 tags.

929 cannot be ejected and can damage COMAND. Do not use discs of 8cm diameter, even with an adapter. Only use round discs 12cm in diameter. Audio CD/ audio DVD and MP3 Permissible MP3 formats COMAND supports the MPEG1 Audio Layre3 format.

i This format is generally known as MP3 in everyday usage. Permissible bit and sampling rates

Fixed and variable bit rates from 32kBit/s to 320kBit/s

Sampling rate from 8kHz to 48kHz.

i Only use MP3 tracks with a bit rate of at least 128kBit/s and a sampling rate of at least 44.1kHz. Smaller rates can cause a noticeable deterioration in quality. This is especially the case if you have activated a surround sound function. Notes on copyright The music tracks that you create for MP3 mode and can play back in MP3 mode are generally subject to copyright protection in accordance with the applicable international and national regulations. In many countries, reproductions are not permitted without the prior consent of the copyright holder, not for private use. Make sure that you know the applicable copyright regulations and that you comply with these. If you own these rights yourself, e.g. for your own compositions and recordings, or the copyright folder has granted you permission, these restrictions do not apply. Notes about CDs/ DVDs

i Discs with copy protection are not compatible with the CD audio standard and therefore may not be able to be played by COMAND. There may be playback problems when playing copied discs. 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 copied yourself. There may be playback problems if you play CDs that you have copied yourself with a storage capacity of more than 700MB. These CDs are not compatible with currently applicable standards.

! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs, as they could peel off and damage COMAND. COMAND is designed to hold discs which comply with the EN 60908 standard. You can therefore only use discs with a maximum thickness of 1.3mm. 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

1029 Audio CD/ audio DVD and MP3 If a disc is loaded, it will be ejected. Loading CDs and DVDs Risk of accident Only load a CD or DVD when the vehicle is stationary. There is a risk of being distracted from the road and traffic conditions if this is done while the vehivcle is in motion.

i If the CD/DVD has a printed side, this must face upwards when the CD/DVD is loaded. If neither side is printed, the side to be played should face downwards. CDs/DVDs with copy protection may not be able to be played the system. Loading and eject the single DVD drive

COMAND Telephone book The COMAND phone book contains all address book entries that have at lease one telephone number. COMAND also reads the phone book entries stored in the phone book on the mobile phone and displays them in the COMAND phone book. These entries can be imported from your mobile phone via Bluetooth.

i These imported entries be preserved, also if you use the COMAND with one of other mobile phone. You should delete these entries if necessary before delivery or sale of your vehicle. Map software The digital maps generated by the map software become outdate in the same way as conventional road maps. Optimum route guidance can only be provided by the navigation system in conjunction with the most up-to-date map software. Information about new map software versions can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. General Notes GPS reception Correct functioning of the navigation system depends amongst other things on GPS reception. In certain situations, GPS reception may be impaired, there may be interference or there maybe no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels, in multi-storey car parks or due to snow on the GPS aerial. If there is snow on the GPS aerial, you should remove it. The GPS aerial is at the back of the vehicle roof. Navigation system Navigation system (introduction) Safety Notes Risk of accident For safety reasons, only enter a new destination when the vehicle is stationary. You may otherwise be distracted from the traffic conditions, cause an accident and injure yourself and others. COMAND calculates the route to the destination without taking account of the following, for example:

Traffic lights

Stop and give way signs

Parking or stopping prohibited signs

Lane narrowing

Other road and traffic controls and regulations. COMAND may give incorrect navigation commands if the reality does not correspond to the data in the digital map. For example, if the traffic routing has been changed or the direction of a one-way road has been reversed. For this reason, you must always observe applicable road and traffic controls and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic controls and regulations always have priority over the navigation commands generated by the system.

2329 Units of measurement The units of measurement in navigation mode are identical to those set in the instrument cluster. Input restrictions On vehicles for certain countries, there is a restriction on entering data. The restriction is active above a vehicle speed of about 5 km/h. The restriction is deactivated as soon as the vehicle speed drops below about 3km/h. When the restriction is active it is not possible to enter specific items, e.g.town or road name. You will be aware of this because certain menu items cannot be selected. Navigation system Root guidance after vehicle transportation COMAND has to redetermine the position of the vehicle if the vehicle has been transported.( e.g. by ferry, by motorail or after towing). positioning take place automatically even when COMAND is switched off. The duration will vary from on e case to antoher. Route guidance may be restricted as follows during vehicle positioning:
