Introduction
This manual familiarizes you with the oper-
ation of your iPod®* integration kit in con-
junction with the COMAND system. The
operating instructions that follow will help
you with connecting the iPod®in the vehi-
cle and using the multifunction steering
wheel controls and associated functions in
a quick and optimal manner. Please keep
in mind technical details are subject to al-
teration with regard to the diagrams and
descriptions. The vehicle Operator’s Manu-
al is referred to within this manual and it is
recommended you have it on-hand for ref-
erence. For instructions on how to operate
your iPod®when it is not connected to the
integration kit please refer to the separate
iPod®User Guide.
This manual is valid for S-Class vehicles
(model 221) and for CL-Class vehicles
(model 216) with a Mercedes-Benz iPod®
integration kit installed. The following
iPod®models can be used in conjunction
with the integration kit:
iPod®Generation 3, iPod®Generation
4, iPod®Generation 5, iPod®photo,
iPod®mini, iPod®U2, iPod®nano and
iPod®video. All the above models are re-
ferred to in the following as just iPod®.
Your iPod®is connected to your vehicle’s
COMAND system via the iPod®integration
kit which requires removal of the vehicle’s
auxiliary audio input jack during installa-
tion, if equipped.
As a result no other Auxiliary audio device
can be connected to the COMAND system
so long as the iPod®integration kit re-
mains installed in your vehicle.
If you should sell your Mercedes-Benz
please ensure this operating manual is
transferred to the subsequent owner; it is
an important part of your vehicle.

Introduction
Operating tips
• The Click Wheel on your iPod®is not op-
erable when connected to the integra-
tion kit.
• It is recommended you always have the
latest software version installed on your
iPod®. For assistance and availability
refer to the separate User Guide sup-
plied with your iPod®.
• For optimum sound quality and to avoid
fluctuations in volume iTunes®should
be used for converting CDs and the
iPod®should be set to "Equalizer Pop".
Please refer to the separate User Guide
supplied with your iPod®for more
information on equalizer features.
• When the iPod®is connected to the
dock connector, the iPod®battery is
charged via the iPod®integration kit
when engine is running.
• Your iPod®is designed to be stored and
operated within certain temperature
ranges. For this reason we recommend
that you do not leave your iPod®in the
vehicle when not in use since extreme
temperatures can damage the device.
For more information on storage/oper-
ating temperatures, please refer to the
separate User Guide supplied with your
iPod®.
• If difficulties should arise while operat-
ing the system please visit an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center for
assistance.
• When headphones are plugged into the
iPod®, the music will not be played
through the vehicle loudspeakers.
Therefore, the headphones should be
removed from the iPod®before it is
connected to the iPod®dock
connector.
Mercedes-Benz Accessories wishes you
many hours of enjoyment.
GWarning
In order to avoid distraction which can lead to
an accident, the driver should activate the
system with the vehicle at a standstill and
operate the system only when road, weather
and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is cov-
ering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
GWarning
The driver should not wear a headset while
operating the vehicle under any circumstanc-
es. The use of a headset while driving the ve-
hicle could drastically impair the ability to
react to audible traffic conditions (e.g. emer-
gency sirens from police/fire/ambulance,
another drivers horn, etc).
