Operating the integrated information systems
and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic conditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic conditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe
location and make entries only while the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating COMAND Online.
COMAND Online calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the following, for example:
R
traffic lights
R
stop and give way signs
R
parking or stopping restrictions
R
road narrowing
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND Online may give incorrect driving
recommendations if the data on the digital
map does not correspond to the actual conditions. For example, a route may have been
diverted or the direction of a one-way street
may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the system's driving recommendations.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only
50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of
nearly 14 m per second.

interior.
You will achieve the best sound results by
playing high-quality audio and video DVDs.
MP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at least
128 kbit/s.
Surround-sound playback does not function for mono signal sources, such as the
medium wave range (MW) in radio mode.
If radio reception is poor, e.g. in a tunnel,
you should switch off Logic 7®, as it may
otherwise switch between stereo and
mono and cause temporary sound distortions.
On some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ from conventional stereo playback.
i
The Logic7® on function creates a surround sound experience for every
passenger when playing stereo recordings,
for example. It enables optimum playback
of music and films on CD, audio DVD or
video DVD with multichannel audio formats, such as MLP, dts or Dolby Digital.
This results in sound characteristics as the
sound engineer intended when the original
was recorded.

SPLITVIEW
Method of operation
SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the frontpassenger 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 remote control from the front-passenger side.
To do so, use the special radio 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
remote control to operate them.
Points to remember
R
You can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied directly on the headphones.
R
Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW.
R
You can only operate media from the driver's and front-passenger sides separately if
the media are from different sources.
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
Internet use is only available at any one
time to the driver or the front passenger.

Features of your COMAND Online
This Supplement describes all the standard
and optional equipment for your COMAND
Online system, as available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific differences
are possible. Please note that your
COMAND Online system may not be equipped with all the features described.
Introduction
Important safety notes
WARNING
G
Navigation
Operating the integrated information systems
and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic conditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic conditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe
location and make entries only while the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating COMAND Online.
COMAND Online calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the following, for example:
R
traffic lights
R
stop and give way signs
R
parking or stopping restrictions
R
road narrowing
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND Online may give incorrect driving
recommendations if the data on the digital
map does not correspond to the actual conditions. For example, a route may have been
diverted or the direction of a one-way street
may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the system's driving recommendations.
General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system
In vehicles for certain countries, the navigation system is not operational immediately
after delivery. The digital map is not preinstalled.
If this is the case, the following message
appears in the display after you switch to navigation mode:
Please insert the map DVD to acti‐
vate navigation.
X
To install the digital map:(Y page 124).
The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
whenever operational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible.
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 may be no reception at all, e.g.
in tunnels or multi-storey car parks.
i
The functionality of a roof aerial (telephone, GPS) may be impaired if roof carriers are used.
Entry restriction
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 3 km/h.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. This will be indicated by the
fact that certain menu items are greyed out
and cannot be selected.
The following entries are not possible, for
example:
R
entering the destination town and street
R
entering a destination via the map
R
entering POIs in the vicinity of a town or via
a name search
R
editing entries
R
direct entry using the number keypad
Other entries are possible, however, such as
entering POIs in the vicinity of the destination
or current position.

i
If you change the route type and/or the
route options while route guidance is
active, COMAND Online will calculate a
new route.
If you change the route type and/or the
route options while route guidance is inactive, COMAND Online uses the new setting
for the next route guidance.
Route guidance active: a destination has
been entered and the route has been calculated.
Route guidance inactive: no destination
has been entered yet and no route has been
calculated yet.
You can select the following route types:
R
Fast route: COMAND Online calculates a
route with the shortest (minimised) journey
time.
R
Dynamic route: same route type as Fast
route. In addition, COMAND Online takes
into account any RDS-TMC traffic reports it
receives during route guidance. The navigation system can help you avoid a traffic
jam, for example. If a faster route is determined due to a received RDS-TMC traffic
announcement, the navigation system
changes the route. If possible, it will bypass
blocked roads.
R
Eco route: the Eco route (economical
route) is a variant of the Fast route type.
COMAND Online will attempt to minimise
the journey distance at the expense of a
slightly increased journey time.
R
Short route: COMAND Online calculates
a route with the shortest possible (minimised) route distance.
i
RDS-TMC is not available in all countries.
i
The route calculated may, for example,
include ferry connections, even if the
Avoid ferries route option is switched
on.
In some cases, e.g. when calculating particularly long routes, COMAND Online may
not be able to take all the selected route
options into account.
i
To avoid toll roads: route calculation is
performed excluding sections (e.g. tunnels,
stretches of motorway, inner cities) which
require you to pay a fee (toll).
To avoid routes requiring a special toll
sticker: route calculation is performed
excluding route networks (e.g. a country's
motorway network) which require you to
pay a fee (vignette). A vignette allows temporary use of the route network. Example
time limits are 10 days, 2 months or 1 year.

Route guidance
Important notes
COMAND Online calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the following, for example:
R
traffic lights
R
stop and give way signs
R
parking or stopping restrictions
R
road narrowing
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND Online may give differing driving
recommendations if the data on the digital
map does not correspond to the actual conditions, such as if the road layout has
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over system
driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (Y page 68).
COMAND Online guides you to your destination by means of navigation announcements
in the form of audible navigation announcements and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if the
display is switched to navigation mode.
If you do not follow the navigation announcements or if you leave the calculated route,
COMAND Online automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
R
during route guidance, COMAND Online
tries to avoid roads with restricted access.
Those roads, for example, that are closed
to through-traffic.
R
roads that have time restrictions (e.g.
closed on Sundays and public holidays) are
considered for route guidance on days
when they are open. For this purpose, the
relevant times must be correctly stored in
the database.
Route guidance

Changing direction
Changes of direction have three phases:

The display is now split into two sectors. In
the left half, you see the normal map view.
The right-hand half shows:
