WARNING

G

Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions.

Only use COMAND Online or the telephone
when the road and traffic conditions permit.

Bear in mind that, at a speed of only
50 km/h
nearly 14 m per second. The navigation sys­tem does not provide you with information
about stop signs, give way signs, traffic regu­lations or road safety features. It is up to you
to pay attention to these while driving the
vehicle. Only enter a new destination when
the vehicle is stationary.

Declarations of conformity

Wireless vehicle components

The following information applies to all com­ponents of the vehicle and the COMAND

system which receive and/or transmit

Online
radio waves:

The components of this vehicle which receive
and/or transmit radio waves are compliant
with the basic requirements and other rele­vant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You
can obtain further information from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Electromagnetic compatibility

The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehi­cle

components has been checked and certi­fied according to the currently valid version
of Directive ECE-R 10.

Correct use

Observe

the following information when using

COMAND Online:

the safety notes in this manual

R

traffic rules and regulations

R

laws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles

i

Improper work on electronic components
or other systems (e.g. radio, DVD changer)
and their software may result in malfunc­tion or failure. Even systems that have not
been modified could be affected because
the electronic systems are connected.
Electronic malfunctions can seriously jeop­ardise the operational safety of your vehi­cle.

i

The functionality of a roof aerial (tele­phone, GPS) may be impaired if roof carrier
systems are used.

Attaching metallised retrofit film to the
windscreen may affect radio reception and
have a negative impact on all other aerials
(e.g. emergency aerial) in the vehicle inte­rior.

i

Only have work or changes to electronic
components carried out at a qualified spe­cialist workshop. This workshop should
have the necessary specialist knowledge
and tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. In partic­ular, work relevant to safety or on safety­related systems must be carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.

i

Protection against theft: this device is
equipped with technical provisions to pro­tect it against theft. Further information on
protection against theft can be obtained
from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Data stored in the vehicle

A wide range of electronic components in
your vehicle contain data memories.

Operating safety

359

These data memories temporarily or perma­nently store technical information about:

R

the vehicle's operating state

R

events

R

faults

In general, this technical information docu­ments

the state of a component, a module, a

system or the surroundings.

These include, for example:

R

operating conditions of system compo­nents, e.g. fluid levels

R

the vehicle's status messages and those of
its individual components, e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in
movement, lateral acceleration, accelera­tor pedal position

R

malfunctions and defects in important sys­tem components, e.g. lights, brakes

R

vehicle reactions and operating conditions
in special driving situations, e.g. airbag
deployment, intervention of stability con­trol systems

R

ambient conditions, e.g. outside tempera­ture

This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:

R

assist in recognising and rectifying faults
and defects

R

analyse vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci­dent

R

optimise vehicle functions

The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.

When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor­mation can be read from the event data mem­ory and fault data memory.

Services include, for example:

R

repair services

R

service processes

R

warranties

R

quality assurance

It is read by employees of the service network
(including manufacturers) using special diag-

nostic testers. More detailed information is
obtained from it, if required.

After a fault has been rectified, the informa­tion is deleted from the fault memory or is
continually overwritten.

When operating the vehicle, situations are
conceivable in which this technical data, in
connection with other information (if neces­sary, under consultation with an authorised
expert), could be traced to a person.

Examples include:

R

accident reports

R

damage to the vehicle

R

witness statements

Further additional functions that have been
contractually agreed upon with the customer
allow certain vehicle data to be conveyed by
the vehicle as well. The additional functions
include, for example, vehicle location in case
of an emergency.

Components

SplitView

Method of operation

SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND Online

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 "Navi" 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 cordless 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 head-

phones.

R

Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW.

R

If media from different sources are used,
they 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, no other
medium can be used separately on the
front-passenger side that is also played
from the DVD changer. However, other
media can be used at the same time on the
front-passenger side, including radio,
memory card, MUSIC REGISTER, Media
Interface, USB or AUX.

R

If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set­tings.

R

The Internet can be separately used by both
the driver and front passenger at the same
time. A corresponding message appears on
the display.

R

Internet can only be used, if it is set and
connected via a telephone on the driver's
side.

R

The multifunction steering wheel can only
be used for functions which relate to the
driver's side.
