Warning!
Any alteration of electronic components or
software can cause malfunctions.
Radio, satellite radio* (USA only), amplifier,
CD/DVD changer, navigation module, telephone and Voice Control Systems* are interconnected. Therefore, if one of the
components is not operational, or has not
been removed/ replaced properly, the function of other components could be impaired.
Such conditions might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend to have any service work on
electronic components carried out by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
84
Warning!
Warning!
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should enter
system settings while the vehicle is at a
standstill, and operate the system only
when permitted by road, weather and traffic
conditions.
While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, especially
attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the system’s audio cues while
driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/ h), your car covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. Their observance always remains in the driver’s personal responsibility. DVD maps do not cover
all areas nor all routes within an area.
COMAND supplies you with information to
help you select your route more easily and
guide you conveniently and safely to your
destination. For safety reasons, we encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe
place before answering or placing a call, or
consulting the COMAND screen to read navigational maps, instructions, or downloaded
information.

i Since some DVDs contain both stereo as

necessary to adapt the audio format
(컄 page 123).
i The “LOGIC7® ON” function of the har-
man/kardon LOGIC7® surround sound system
makes it possible to play discrete 5.1 and stereo
recordings with optimal surround sound for every passenger. Music on CDs or audio DVDs with
high-resolution surround formats such as MLP,
DTS or Dolby Digital is played back optimally.
For an ideal sound experience on all seats,
LOGIC7® distributes 5.1 surround information
via the 13-channel system architecture. The result is a sound as intended by the sound engineers during the original recording.
harman/kardon LOGIC7® converts all two-channel stereo sound material into multi-channel surround sound. With the help of LOGIC7®,
surround information stored during the original
recording are read out and distributed through
the 13 channels. No effects are created during
this process; only that which was already there
becomes audible.
In addition, harman/kardon LOGIC7® moves the
perceived sound source away from the individual
loudspeakers, thus generating a natural 360°
sound experience for every passenger.

Safety precautions
Warning!
Warning!
COMAND is classified as a Class 1 laser
product. You must not open the casing.
There is a risk of exposure to invisible laser
radiation if you open the casing, or if the
casing is faulty or damaged.
COMAND does not contain any parts that
you are able to maintain yourself. For safety
reasons, all maintenance work must be carried out by qualified technicians.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
Only carry out the following when the vehicle is stationary:
앫
Inserting a disc
앫
Ejecting a disc
There is a risk of accident by being distracted from road and traffic conditions if you
load a CD/DVD while the vehicle is in motion.

Multisession CDs
For multisession CDs, the first session
type of the CD determines how COMAND
will process the CD.
For example, if the first session type is according to the audio CD standard and the
second session type is according to the
data CD standard containing MP3 tracks,
COMAND will treat the CD as a conventional audio CD. This means that it is only
possible to access the audio CD tracks.
Access to the MP3 tracks is not possible.
Similarly, if the first session type is according to the data CD standard containing
MP3 tracks and the second session type is
according to the audio CD standard,
COMAND will treat the CD as a data CD.
112
Control systems
COMAND audio CD/audio DVD/MP3
This means that it is only possible to access the MP3 tracks. Access to the audio
CD tracks is not possible.
File structure on a disc
When you create an MP3 disc, the MP3
tracks can be organized in folders. A folder
can also contain other folders. A disc can
contain a maximum of 255 folders. Each
folder can contain a maximum of
255 tracks and 255 folders. A disc can
contain a maximum of 4000 tracks. Usually this number will not be reached because
each minute of an MP3 track requires approximately 1 MB of storage space.
If MP3 files are saved in the root directory
itself (uppermost directory on storage medium), the root directory will also be treated as a folder. COMAND will then show the
name of the root directory as the folder
name.
You must observe the following when assigning track names:
앫
앫
앫
COMAND uses these names for the corresponding display in MP3 mode. Empty folders or folders which contain data other
than MP3 tracks are not displayed by
COMAND.
Track names must have the extension
“mp3”.
There must be a period between the
track name and the extension.
Example of a correct track name:
Track1.mp3
Track and folder names
When you create an MP3 disc, you can assign names to the MP3 tracks and folders.
Track names must have at least one
character.
COMAND is unable to recognize an MP3
track if:
앫
there is no period between the track title and the extension
앫
there is no extension
Permissible MP3 formats
COMAND supports the MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format.
i This format is generally known as “MP3”.
Permissible bit and sampling rates
앫
Fixed and variable bit rates up to
320 kbit/s
앫
Sampling rates of 24 kHz – 48 kHz
i Only use MP3 tracks with a bit rate of at
least 128 kbit/s and a sampling rate of at least
44.1 kHz. Smaller rates can cause a noticeable
deterioration in sound quality. This is especially
the case if you have activated a surround sound
function.
Notes on copyright
The music tracks that you create for MP3
mode and can play back in MP3 mode are
generally subject to copyright protection in
accordance with the applicable international and national regulations.
i COMAND does not support ID3 tags.

In many countries, reproductions are not
permitted without the prior consent of the
copyright holder, not even for private use.
Make sure that you know the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply
with these.
If you own these rights yourself, e.g. for
your own compositions and recordings, or
the copyright holder has granted you permission, these restrictions do not apply.
Notes about audio DVD operation
COMAND can playback commercially
available, prerecorded audio DVDs that
bear the following label. You will usually
find the label on the DVD booklet, the inlay,
or the DVD itself.
114
i Audio DVDs differ from recordable DVD-R
and DVD-RW discs.
Data on audio DVDs are stored either in
uncompressed format or in lossless compressed format. The sound quality on audio DVDs is therefore better than on
recordable DVDs that contain MP3 data
because the MP3 format uses a lossy type
of compression.
You cannot delete data from or record
additional data to commercially available,
prerecorded audio DVDs.
Please note the following information
about CDs/DVDs and pay special attention to the notes on copied and/or
self-written CDs/DVDs.
Notes about CDs/DVDs
i Audio CDs with copy protection are not
compatible with the CD audio standard and
therefore may not be able to be played by
COMAND.
There may be playback problems when playing
copied discs.
There is a large variety of discs, disc-writing software and writers available. This variety means
that there is no guarantee that the system will be
able to play discs that you have written/copied
yourself.
There may be playback problems if you use CD-R
or CD-RW type discs you have copied yourself
with a storage capacity of more than 700 MB.
These CDs are not compatible with currently applicable standards.
Control systems
COMAND audio CD/audio DVD/MP3
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
These could peel away and damage COMAND.
COMAND is designed to hold discs which comply with the IEC 60908 standard. You can therefore only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that contain
data on both sides (DVD on one side and audio
data on the other), they cannot be ejected and
can damage COMAND.
Notes about handling CDs/DVDs
앫
Only hold discs by the edge.
앫
Handle discs carefully to prevent playback problems.
앫
Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints
and dust on discs.
앫
Clean discs from time to time with a
commercially-available cleaning cloth.
Do not wipe them with a circular motion, but only in straight lines from the
center outwards.
Do not use discs with an 8-cm diameter, even if
they have an adapter.
Only use round discs with a 12-cm diameter.
앫
Only use a pen designed for such a purpose to label discs.
앫
Place discs back in their boxes after
use.
앫
Protect discs from heat and direct sunlight.
Inserting CDs and DVDs
Warning!
Only insert a CD or DVD when the vehicle is
stationary. There is a risk of accident by being distracted from road and traffic conditions if you load a CD/DVD while the vehicle
is in motion.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
i If the CD/DVD has a printed side, this must
face upwards when the CD/DVD is inserted. If
neither side is printed, the side to be played
should face downwards.

Notes about handling DVDs
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
These could peel away and damage COMAND.
COMAND is designed to hold discs which comply with the IEC 60908 standard. You can therefore only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that contain
data on both sides (DVD on one side and audio
data on the other), they cannot be ejected and
can damage COMAND.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even if
they have an adapter.
Only use round discs with a 12 cm diameter.
앫
Only use a pen designed for such a purpose to label discs.
앫
Place discs back in their boxes after
use.
앫
Protect discs from heat and direct sunlight.
Functional limitations
Depending on the DVD, it is possible that
certain functions or actions may be temporarily or permanently unavailable. If you try
to utilize such functions or carry out such
actions, you will see the 7 symbol in the
display.
Inserting or ejecting DVDs
Warning!
Only insert or eject a DVD when the vehicle
is stationary. There is a risk of accident by
being distracted from road and traffic conditions if you load a DVD while the vehicle is in
motion.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
앫
Only hold discs by the edge.
앫
Handle discs carefully to prevent playback problems.
왘
앫
Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints
and dust on discs.
왘
앫
Clean discs from time to time with a
commercially-available cleaning cloth.
Do not wipe them with a circular motion, but only in straight lines from the
center outwards.

For the telephone number to be displayed,
the caller must transmit their telephone
number.
This is also the case for name displays. For
this, the telephone number and the name
of the caller must also be saved in the mobile phone book.

Notes about COMAND telephone features using a Bluetooth® connection
Many of the Mercedes-Benz approved mobile phones, cradles and adaptors available for use in your vehicle utilize
Bluetooth® technology to communicate
with each other and the vehicle. Depending on your phone brand and model, the
number of in-vehicle or on-display
COMAND telephone features supported
via Bluetooth® communication, and thus
available for your use, may vary.
The descriptions and illustrations in this

Safety precautions
Warning!
For safety reasons, only enter a destination
when the vehicle is stationary. When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger should enter
the destination. Study manual and select
route before driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map
does not correspond with the actual
road/traffic situation. DVD maps do not
cover all areas nor all routes within an area.
For example, if the traffic routing has been
changed or the direction of a one-way road

For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic
rules and regulations always have priority
over the navigation commands generated by
the system.
Warning!
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting
your attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Consulting the symbols or map display for
directions may cause you to divert your attention from driving and increase your risk
of an accident.

Map software
The digital maps generated by the map
software become outdated in the same
way as conventional road maps. Optimum
route guidance can only be provided by the
navigation system in conjunction with the
most up-to-date map software.
Information about new map software versions can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Updating the map software
You can update the map software yourself
using a DVD.

앫
Updating process (컄 page 161)
i The updating process can take between
10 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the
map software. If the radio was switched on before you started the updating process, you can
still adjust the volume. You can also use
COMAND to operate the automatic air conditioning and to cancel the process. Other functions
are not operational.
If possible, carry out the update when the vehicle
is stationary.
i If you carry out the update with the engine
switched off and the vehicle battery has insufficient power, COMAND may automatically switch
off during the process in order to protect the battery. If this occurs, restart the update with the
engine running period. Similarly, if the SmartKey
position is unintentionally switched to 0, restart
the update.
Warning!
Never leave the engine running in an enclosed space. The exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gases
constitutes a health hazard and could lead
to loss of consciousness or even death.

General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system following a system software
update by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center
i Please note that the update must be allowed
to run to the end in this case. If you interrupt it,
the navigation system will continue to be non-operational.
Initial use or use following a system
software update
After a system software update by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, the installed map software may no longer be
compatible. If this is the case, the navigation system will not be operational.
In both these cases, the navigation system
must determine the position of the vehicle.
You may have to drive for a while before
precise route guidance is possible.
You will know if this is the case, when the
following message will appear when you
switch to navigation mode: “The system
software has been updated. The map software must be updated now. Please insert
the DVD with the map software.”
GPS reception
왘
Updating map software: Proceed as
described in the “Updating the map
software” section (컄 page 160). Use
map software which is compatible with
the system software.
164
Correct functioning of the navigation system depends on GPS reception, among
other things. In certain situations, GPS reception may be impaired, there may be interference or there may be no reception at
all, e.g. in tunnels, in multistory parking garage or due to snow on the GPS antenna. If
there is snow on the GPS antenna, you
should remove it. The GPS antenna is at
the back of the vehicle roof.
The roof cargo container* may also impair
mobile phone reception and GPS coverage.
Route guidance after vehicle transportation
COMAND has to redetermine the position
of the vehicle if the vehicle has been transported (e.g. by ferry, by train or after towing).
Positioning takes place automatically even
when COMAND is switched off. The duration varies from one case to another.
Route guidance may be restricted as follows during vehicle positioning:
앫
Navigation announcements, route
guidance displays and displayed street
names are not consistent with the actual location of the vehicle.
앫
COMAND does not generate navigation
announcements.
Control systems
COMAND navigation (introduction)
앫
Instead of the route guidance displays,
you see the “Off Road” display and a direction arrow. The direction arrow
shows the compass heading to the destination.
When positioning is complete, route guidance is once again possible using navigation announcements and route guidance
displays.
i The journey is interrupted if you park the vehicle and switch off COMAND.
The journey is continued when you switch
COMAND back on and start driving on.
Hard disk errors
COMAND has an integrated hard disk on
which the map software is saved.
Interrupting the journey during route
guidance
If an area of the hard disk has an error,
COMAND can no longer access the map
data in this area, for example, when calculating a route.
The following applies if you interrupt the
journey during route guidance and continue the journey later:
The message “Navigation Unavailable.
Please refer to the operating instructions.”
appears.

COMAND resumes route guidance automatically if you continue the journey
within 2 hours.

Route guidance is canceled if you continue the journey after more than
2 hours. It will be necessary to resume

it will be operational again until it has to access
the faulty area of the hard disk again. The message will then appear again. Consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Deleting message: Switch COMAND
off and back on.
Units of measurement
The units of measurement in navigation
mode are identical to those set in the instrument cluster.
Input restrictions
The input restrictions are imposed starting
at a particular vehicle speed. The restrictions are canceled as soon as the speed
drops below a certain value.
When the restriction is active, certain operations or entries are not possible.
You will notice this by the fact that some
menu items cannot be selected or certain
operations will not be possible.

For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic
rules and regulations always have priority
over the navigation commands generated by
the system.
COMAND guides you to the destination using navigation commands in the form of
audible navigation announcements and

mode.
If, for any reason, you do not follow the
navigation commands or if you leave the

calculates a new route to the destination.
If the map data contains the relevant information, COMAND tries to avoid roads that
only have limited access, e.g. roads closed

the destination area”. In addition, you will
see a corresponding display and route

COMAND guides you through fully digitized
areas for as long as possible. Route guidance is conducted in the usual manner, i.e.
with navigation announcements and route
guidance displays.
Due to incomplete digitization, the route
shown on the map may differ from the actual
road/traffic situation.
Before the vehicle reaches a partially digitized area, COMAND notifies you of this
with the following announcements:
only partially digitized although they are within a
digitized region.
Warning!
If you follow the route shown on the map, for
example, it is possible that you could drive
the wrong way down a one-way street or
that a street cannot be driven on.
When using route guidance in a partially digitized area, you must therefore be sure to
observe all relevant traffic regulations and
the course of the road.

If you start route guidance in this type of
area, you will hear the following announcement: “You are currently in an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provided.”
Route guidance is provided by means of a
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination. COMAND will
not generate automatic navigation announcements.
If you try to call up an announcement manually, (컄 page 214) you will hear the announcement “You are currently in an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot be provided.”.
212
During route guidance, the display is divided. On the right-hand side you will see the
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination.
On the left-hand side of the display you will
see the map with the suggested route. The
suggested route is highlighted blue. However, it may not be possible to follow the
suggested route because, for example, the
road is closed or not open for car traffic.
If, during route guidance, COMAND leads
you back into a fully digitalized area, route
guidance will simply continue in the usual
manner.
Off-road and off-map
Route guidance to an off-road
destination
Warning!
The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of traversing through without
damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver’s sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the route. Off-road routes
may be of varying conditions and their appropriateness for use may be affected by
various factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
cannot be judged or taken into consideration by the COMAND system.
COMAND can guide you to destinations
within the area covered by the digital map,
even if a destination is not located at a
road known to the system.
Control systems
COMAND navigation system (route guidance)
Route guidance from an off-road
location to a destination
These destinations are shown as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using
the map, for example.
In these cases, COMAND guides you for as
long as possible with navigation announcements and displays on roads known to the
system.
Shortly before you reach the last known
the point to leave the digitized road network, you will hear the announcement “The
destination is nearby. Follow the arrow on
the display”.
You will then see an arrow that indicates
the direction to the off-road destination.
When the off-road destination is close to
the road, “Area of dest. reached” appears
in addition below the arrow.
The section of the route from the last
known point on the map to the off-road
destination is indicated with a dashed line
after a certain length. It simply shows the
direction to the off-road destination without taking account of any type of obstacles
in the way.
If there is no road available on map at current position of the car, vehicle is off road.
COMAND is also able to guide you to a destination from such a location.

On the off-road section of the route, direction arrows showing the compass heading
to the destination guide you. You will also
see the “Direction to destination” display.
At the start of the route guidance, you will
see the “Off Road” message and a direction arrow. The direction arrow shows the
compass heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue from the nearest road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance continues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map

If the vehicle position is outside the area
covered by the digital map, then the vehicle is in an off-map location.

At the start of the route guidance, you will see the “Off Map” message and a direction arrow. The direction arrow shows the compass
heading to the actual destination.

As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance continues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
The road layout may differ from the data on
the digital map, due to road construction
measures, for example.
In such cases, the system cannot allocate
the vehicle’s position to the digital map
and the vehicle is therefore in an off-road
position.
The “Off Road” message and an arrow
showing the compass heading to the destination appear on the display.
As soon as the system can allocate the vehicle position’s to the map again, route
guidance continues in the usual way.

Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting
your attention from the road and driving.

Warning!
Please devote your attention first and foremost to the traffic situation you are in. While
the system permits hands-free phone operation, attention to traffic may be diverted
not only by physical operation of a phone,
but also by the distraction of a phone conversation while driving. As such, for safety
reasons, we encourage the driver to stop the
vehicle in a safe place before answering or
placing a phone call.
For safety reasons, you should only select a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, especially
attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the system’s audio cues while
driving.
286
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. Their observance always remains in the driver’s personal responsibility. DVD maps do not cover
all areas nor all routes within an area.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recommendations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 13.5 m) every second.
Warning!
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting
your attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Consulting the symbols or map display for
directions may cause you to divert your attention from driving and increase your risk

Warning!
Please do not use the Voice Control System

Voice Control* introduction
Voice Control* introduction
The Voice Control System gives you the capability to control the following systems on
your vehicle using spoken commands:
앫
Telephone* (컄 page 291)
앫
Navigation (컄 page 298)
앫
Address book (컄 page 308)
앫
Audio (컄 page 312) (AM/FM radio,
CD/DVD changer, MP3 player)
You control these systems using spoken
commands. Moreover, controls such as
the buttons on the multifunction steering
wheel (컄 page 289) allow you to keep your
hands on the steering wheel.
The command vocabulary consists of
approximately 300 ready to use phrases.
The Voice Control System recognizes commands and number sequences, irrespective of the speaker. To optimize speech
recognition for your voice follow the individualization process (컄 page 333).
The commands and digit sequences can be
spoken without pausing between the individual words. If an unavailable or incorrect
command is used, the Voice Control System will prompt you for a new command by
asking “Please repeat” or “Please repeat
your entry”.
In order to provide for a safe and comfortable dialog, the Voice Control System acknowledges important commands.
You can use the Voice Control System to
call up all of COMAND’s main menu items,
with the exception of the main menus for
“Vehicle” and “Navi”.

Command types
Active System
You may not need to spell the entire name
(street, intersection, city or point of interest) especially if the name is lengthy. Spelling the first three to five characters of the
name should be sufficient for the system
to recognize the name provided it is available on the navigation DVD.
The Voice Control System commands can
be categorized as:
The active system is the system currently
shown in the COMAND display.
앫
If, for example, you listen to the radio while
the telephone system is active on the
COMAND display, you have to switch to
the radio using the command “Radio” before you can operate the radio.
The selection appearing on the COMAND
display is sorted based on your recognized
voice input and a matching algorithm.
You can use the commands “Next page” or
“Previous page” to scroll up or down in the
list.
Use the command “Correction” to start
over by again spelling the name.
Speak each character as clearly as you
can, especially when they sound very similar (d or e).

General Commands
These are commands always available
to you as soon as the Voice Control
System is activated (for example
“Help” commands).

Important notes
For safety reasons, you should only select a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, especially
attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the system’s audio cues while
driving.
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. Their observance always remains in the driver’ personal responsibility. DVD maps do not cover
all areas nor all routes within an area.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recommendations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 13.5 m) every second.

During route guidance, you will not receive
information on:
앫
traffic lights
앫
stop and yield signs
앫
parking or stopping zones
앫

앫
other traffic regulation data.
You should therefore always strictly observe
traffic regulations while driving. Drive carefully and always obey traffic laws and road
signs, even if they contradict navigation system instructions.
Warning!
Please do not use the Voice Control System

the individualization process.
If you drive off, the individualization will be canceled.
Completing the digits portion alone may result in
an improved recognition rate.
After starting the session, the system will guide
you through the individualization by means of
acoustic instructions.
Individualization can be exited at any time. The
data trained, however, will only be retained if a
given individualization portion is completed and
the data is stored when prompted to do so by the
system.
The individualization is used to adapt the
Voice Control System to your own voice
and to therefore improve speech recognition. This does not affect the speech recognition of other users.
Individualization consists of two stages:
앫

앫

You can activate individualization in the
COMAND system settings (컄 page 239).
A dialog and screen displays will guide you
through the individualization process.
The system can be reset to the factory settings at any time.
