Audio system
!
Your CD drive or CD changer* has been de-
signed to play CDs 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 discs, e.g. ones that have
data on both sides (one side with DVD data, the
other side with audio data), they cannot be eject-
ed and will damage the drive.
Do not use CDs with an 8 cm diameter. At-
tempting to play CDs with an 8 cm diame-
ter or playing such CDs with an adapter
may cause damage to the CD drive. Such
damage is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Only use round, 12 cm diameter discs.
Should excessively high or low tempera-
tures occur while in CD changer mode*,
CD ERROR will appear in the display, and the
CD will be muted until the temperature has
reached an acceptable level for the system
to continue operation.
The single CD player and the CD changer*
can play audio CDs as well as CDs with
MP3 files.

Tips on handling CDs
Only touch the CDs at the edges.
Handle CDs carefully to prevent
interference during playback.
Avoid scratches, fingerprints and dust
on the CDs.
The CDs must only be labeled using
pens specially designed for this pur-
pose.
Clean CDs from time to time with a
commercially available cleaning cloth.
Never wipe the CD in a circular motion;
instead, wipe it in a straight line start-
ing in the center and moving outward.
Do not use solvents, anti-static sprays,
etc. for cleaning.
Replace the CD in its case after use.
Protect CDs from heat and direct
sunlight.
