At a glance DVD function can be viewed from the front passenger side. Use the SPLITVIEW remote control to operate COMAND from the front passenger side. Points to remember: RYour vehicle may be equipped with SPLITVIEW. The use of SPLITVIEW is currently not permitted in the following states: AL, CO, IL, LA, MA, MD, NH, PA, VA, VT, WA, WI, and WV as well as in the Canadian provinces Manitoba, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. The driver is responsible for complying with ALL regional laws. If your vehicle is registered in a state or province where SPLITVIEW is not permitted, this function must be deactivated. Please consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz center to verify if the use of SPLITVIEW is permitted in your state/province. RThe SPLITVIEW remote control can be used to adjust the volume of the front-passenger side headphones. Before putting on the headphones, make certain that the volume has not been set too high. RYou can only use media from the driver's and front-passenger sides separately if the media are from different sources. Example: on the driver's side, an audio CD is being played on the DVD changer. This means that on the front-passenger side, the DVD changer cannot be used to play a different medium, for instance a video DVD. 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. RIf you use the same medium on both sides, you can both carry out the respective settings. RThere must be clear line of sight between the headphones and the display so that COMAND can optimally transmit music and speech via the infrared signal on the frontpassenger's headphones. For this reason, please also observe that the headphones have left and right sides, and use them correctly. RUsing SPLITVIEW you can only use entertainment functions separately, such as audio and video functions. RThe multifunction steering wheel can only used for functions which relate to the driver's side.
