    Surround Sound Your vehicle is equipped with the harman/kardon LOGIC7 Surround Sound system.You can select between LOGIC7 off andLOGIC7 on.harman/kardon LOGIC7 Surround Sound isavailable for the following operating modes:RRadio (FM only)RHD RadioRSatRadioRAudio CDRAudio DVD (MLP, DTS, PCM and Dolby

    Digital audio formats)RMP3 (including PCMCIA memory card)RAUXRVideo DVD (PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital

    audio formats)i As some DVDs contain both stereo and

    multi-channel audio formats, it may benecessary to set the audio format.

    i The LOGIC7 on function of the harman/kardon LOGIC7 Surround Sound systemallows playback of discrete 5.1 and stereorecordings with an optimum surround

    sound experience for each passenger. Itenables optimum playback of music andfilms on CD or audio and video DVDs withhigh-resolution surround formats, such asMLP, DTS or Dolby Digital. For ideal soundperception from all seats, LOGIC7distributes the 5.1 surround informationover the 12-channel architecture. Thisresults in sound characteristics like thoseintended by the sound engineer when theoriginal was recorded.harman/kardon LOGIC7 converts eachtwo-channel stereo sound source intomulti-channel surround sound. LOGIC7reads the surround information storedduring the original recording anddistributes it over the 12 channels. Noeffects are created during the process,anything that was always on the recordingis just made audible again. In addition,harman/kardon LOGIC7 moves theperceived sound source away from theloudspeakers and thereby generates anatural 360 sound experience for everypassenger.

    i If you select LOGIC7 off, playback of allrecognized formats is as it is on themedium. Due to the design of the

    passenger compartment, an optimumaudio experience cannot be guaranteed forall passengers.

    IntroductionVehicle Equipment

    i This Operators Manual describes allfeatures, standard or optional, potentiallyavailable for your vehicle at the time ofpurchase. Please be aware that yourvehicle might not be equipped with allfeatures described in this manual.

    Safety Instructions G WarningFor safety reasons, only enter a destinationwhen the vehicle is stationary. When thevehicle is in motion, a passenger shouldenter the destination. Study manual andselect route before driving.Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle iscovering a distance of 44 feet(approximately 14 m) every second.COMAND calculates the route to thedestination without taking account of thefollowing:RTraffic lightsRStop and right-of-way-signs

    RLane mergingRParking or stopping prohibited areasROther road and traffic rules and

    regulationsRNarrow bridges

    G WarningCOMAND may give incorrect navigationcommands if the data in the digital mapdoes not correspond with the actual road/traffic situation. Digital maps do not coverall areas nor all routes within an area. Forexample, if the traffic routing has beenchanged or the direction of a one-way roadhas been reversed.For this reason, you must always observeapplicable road and traffic rules andregulations during your journey. Road andtraffic rules and regulations always havepriority over the navigation commandsgenerated by the system.G WarningNavigation announcements are intended todirect you while driving without divertingyour attention from the road and driving.Please always use this feature instead ofconsulting the map display for directions.

    Consulting the symbols or map display fordirections may cause you to divert yourattention from driving and increase yourrisk of an accident.

    Updating the Map Software The digital data for the map software willbecome obsolete, just like conventional roadmaps. Optimum route guidance by thenavigation system is only achieved with up-to-date map software. Information on newmap software versions is available from anauthorized Mercedes-Benz Center.You can have the map software updated thereby means of a DVD or perform the updateprocess yourself.

    Notes on DVD DiscsROnly touch the discs at the edges.RHandle the discs with care in order to

    prevent reading errors.RAvoid scratching, leaving fingerprints and

    dust on the discs.RUse a commercially available cleaning cloth

    to clean discs. Always wipe in a straight linefrom the inside outwards, never in a circularmotion.

    Update SequenceThe sequence includes the following stages:RLoading DVD into the DVD changerRUpdate processi The update process may take between 60

    and 150 minutes, depending on the size ofthe map software.If possible, perform the update when thevehicle is stationary. The DVD read speedis faster when the vehicle is stationary thanwhen the vehicle is moving and the updatetherefore takes less time. If you performthe update with the engine off and thevehicle battery is no longer powerfulenough, COMAND may shut offautomatically during the process to protectthe battery. In this case, restart the updatewith the engine running.You can interrupt the update process andcontinue it at later time. If you cancel theupdate process, the navigation system isnot ready for operation.

    G WarningNever leave the engine running in anenclosed space. The exhaust gases containcarbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gasesconstitutes a health hazard and could leadto loss of consciousness or even death.
