Safety Instructions
G Warning
directions may cause you to divert your
attention from driving and increase your risk
of an accident.
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.
Updating the Map Software
The digital data for the map software will
become obsolete, just like conventional road
maps. Optimum route guidance by the
navigation system is only achieved with up-
to-date map software. Information on new
map software versions is available from an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
You can have the map software updated there
by means of a DVD or perform the update
process yourself.
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 calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the
following:
RTraffic lights
RStop and right-of-way-signs
RLane merging
Notes on DVD Discs
RParking or stopping prohibited areas
ROther road and traffic rules and regulations
RNarrow bridges
ROnly touch the discs at the edges.
RHandle the discs with care in order to
prevent reading errors.
RAvoid scratching, leaving fingerprints and
dust on the discs.
G Warning
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map does
not correspond with the actual road/traffic
situation. Digital 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 has been
reversed.
RUse a commercially available cleaning cloth
to clean discs. Always wipe in a straight line
from the inside outwards, never in a circular
motion.
RAfter use, put the discs back into the box.
RProtect the discs from heat and direct
sunlight.
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.
Update Sequence
The sequence includes the following stages:
RLoading DVD into the DVD changer
RUpdate process
i The update process may take between 60
and 150 minutes, depending on the size of
the map software.
If possible, perform the update when the
vehicle is stationary. The DVD read speed
is faster when the vehicle is stationary than
when the vehicle is moving and the update
therefore takes less time. If you perform
the update with the engine off and the
