Cleaning instructions
Multifunction steering wheel
! Do not touch the COMAND display. The
display has a very sensitive high-gloss surface; there is a risk of scratching. If you have to clean the screen, however, use a mild cleaning agent and a soft, lint-free cloth.
The display must be switched off and cooled down before you start cleaning. Clean the display screen, when necessary, with a commercially available microfiber cloth and cleaning agent for TFT/LCD displays. Do not apply pressure to the display surface when cleaning it, as this could cause irreversible damage. Then, dry the surface with a dry microfiber cloth.
Avoid using alcoholic thinners, gasoline or abrasive cleaning agents. These could damage the display surface.

Surround sound
General information
If your vehicle is equipped with the harman/ kardon® Logic7® surround sound system, you can set the optimum surround sound in the vehicle interior.
The harman/kardon®Logic7® surround sound system is available for the following operating modes:
Rradio (FM only)
Rsatellite radio
Raudio CD
Raudio DVD (MLP, dts, PCM and Dolby
Digital audio formats)
RMP3 (including SD memory card and USB
storage device)
RMedia Interface
RBluetooth® audio mode
Rvideo DVD (PCM, dts and Dolby Digital
audio formats)
RAUX
Because some DVDs contain both stereo and multichannel audio formats, it may be necessary to set the audio format (Y page 163).
i The Logic7® On function creates a surround sound experience for every passenger when playing, for example, stereo recordings. 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 like
Basic functions of COMAND 35
those intended by the sound engineer when the original was recorded.
i If you select Logic7® Off, all permissible
formats are played as stored on the medium. Due to the design of the passenger compartment, an optimum audio experience cannot be guaranteed for all passengers.
i Discs which support the audio formats
mentioned have the following logos:

1 Available for 2-zone automatic climate control. 2 Available for 3-zone automatic climate control. 3 Available for the air-conditioning system. 4 Available for Heatmatic.
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 AM radio mode.
If radio reception is poor, e.g. in a tunnel, you should switch off Logic7®, 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.
