 Operating safety

Introduction

Operating safety

Warning G

Any alterations made to electronic components and the software can cause malfunc tions.

The radio, amplifier, CD changer, satellite radio, telephone*, navigation module and voice control system* are interconnected. When one of the components is not operati onal or has not been removed/replaced properly, the function of other components may be impaired.

This condition might seriously impair the operating safety of your vehicle.

We recommend that you have any service work on electronic components carried out only by qualified personnel.

Warning G

In order to avoid distraction which could lead to an accident, the driver should enter

system settings with the vehicle at a stand still and operate the system only when road and traffic conditions permit.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just

30 mp/h (approximately 50 km/h), your car is covering a distance of 44 feet (approxima tely 14 m) every second.

COMAND supplies you with information to help you select your route more easily and guide you conveniently and safely to your destination. For safety reasons, we encoura ge the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe place before answering or placing a call, or consulting the COMAND screen to read na vigational maps, instructions, or downloaded information.

While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including attention to traffic and street signs, and should utilize the system’s audio cues while

driving.

The navigation system does not supply any information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic regulations or traffic safety rules. This al ways remains your personal responsibility

when you drive. DVD maps do not cover all

areas nor all routes within an area.

General Information on CD operation

Warning

In order to avoid distraction which could lead to an accident, the driver should insert CDs with the vehicle at a standstill and operate the audio system only if permitted by road, weather and traffic conditions.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.

Warning

The CD drive and CD changer are Class 1 laser products. There is a danger of invisible laser radiation when you open or damage the cover.

Do not remove the cover. The CD drive and the CD changer do not contain any parts which can be serviced by the user. For safety reasons, have any necessary service work performed by qualified personnel.

Only use CDs, which bear the label shown and that conform to the compact standard (IEC 60908). You can therefore only use CDs with a maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.

The COMAND CD drive may not be able to play audio CDs with copy protection or copied CDs.

Use only CDs with a diameter of 12 cm, do not use 8-cm CDs.

An 8-cm CD adapter may cause damage to the CD changer or to the COMAND and should not be used.

Your CD drive has been designed to play CDs which correspond to the IEC 60908 standard.

If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g. ones that have data on both sides (one side with DVD data, the other side with audio data), they cannot be ejected and will damage the drive.

Tips on caring for your MP3-CDs



Treat MP3-CDs with care to prevent malfunctions during playback.



Do not scratch, touch or soil your MP3CDs.



Do not attach labels to or write on your MP3-CDs.



From time to time, clean your MP3-CDs with a commercially available cleaning cloth. Never wipe circularly, but in a straight line from inside to outside.



After use, put your MP3-CDs into the CD box.



Protect your MP3-CDs from high temperatures and direct sunlight.

Tips on creating MP3 CDs

CDs, software and hardware for writing audio data to CDs vary widely. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that COMAND will be able to play every user-written CD. Problems may also be encountered during playback of userwritten CDs with a storage capacity of more than 700 MB.

Permissible MP3 CDs

In MP3 mode COMAND can read



CD-R and CD-RW



CD+R and CD+RW



DVD+R and DVD+RW



DVD-R and DVD-RW

Permissible file systems

The permitted file system for COMAND is ISO9660/Joliet for CD media and UDF for DVD media.

Multi session CDs

With multisession CDs, the content of the first session determines how COMAND treats the CD.

For example, if the first session contains data in audio CD format and the second session contains data in MP3 format, COMAND will treat the CD as a conventional audio CD.

Audio

MP3-CD operation

File structure When creating a MP3 CD, you can organize

MP3 tracks into folders. A folder can also contain additional folders. A CD may have a maximum of 255 folders in total. A maximum of 255 tracks are permissible per folder.

Mathematically a maximum of 65025 tracks would result. However, this amount is usually not reached since MP3 requires approx. 1 MB storage per minute recorded. Therefore a maximum of 1000 tracks will be displayed by COMAND.

Track names and folder names When creating an MP3 CD, you can assign

names to the MP3 tracks and folders. COMAND uses these names in MP3 mode for the corresponding display.

Please note the following when assigning folder and track names:



Track and folder names must contain at least 1 character.



Track names may contain up to fifty characters. If a name exceeds this character limit, COMAND will not be able to display it in full.



Track names must have the extension “mp3”.



A period must appear between the track name and the file extension.

Example of a correct track name: Track1.mp3

Empty folders or folders containing data other than MP3 tracks will not be displayed by COMAND.

If MP3 or audio CD files are stored in the root directory itself, the root directory also counts as a folder. COMAND will then display the root directory name as a folder name.

COMAND does not support ID3tags.

General information on DVD operation

Warning

In order to avoid distraction which could lead to an accident, the driver should insert DVDs with the vehicle at a standstill and operate the audio system only if permitted by road, weather and traffic conditions.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.

Warning

The CD/DVD drive is a Class 1 laser products. There is a danger of invisible laser radiation when you open or damage the cover.

Do not remove the cover. The CD/DVD drive does not contain any parts which can be serviced by the user. For safety reasons, have any necessary service work performed by qualified personnel.

Your CD/DVD drive has been designed to play CDs/DVDs which correspond to the IEC 60908 standard. You can therefore only use CDs with a maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.

If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g. ones that have data on both sides (one side with DVD data, the other side with audio data), they cannot be ejected and will damage the drive.
