However navigation is only possible while a navigation
CD is inserted in the single CD player.
The data stored on the original navigation CD is used for
route calculation. Using another CD might lead to mal-
functions.
Because of changes in local traffic patterns and/or
incomplete data, errors in calculation may occur.
In this case, the recommended trip may deviate from
the available traffic pattern, because the data informa-
tion stored on the CD represents the local conditions at
the time of the recording.The current vehicle position cannot be displayed exactly
in every case. Satellite reception conditions, road condi-
tions, the conditions of the vehicle, etc. could cause
deviations from the actual situation.
If the vehicle has been transported by a car, train or
ferry, MCS will require some time to find its exact posi-
tion. In these cases it is often sufficient to move the
vehicle a few yards to receive a complete route recom-
mendation.

The reception of GPS signals can be unreliable or at
times even impossible:
• When driving between tall buildings, in parking
garages or tunnels, when obstructed by large vehi-
cles and similar structures.
• During electrical storms or very heavy rain.
• Satellites may be switched off for checking or repair.Changing tires:
After changing the tires it may take some time for MCS
to adjust to the new measurement of the tires. In these
cases it is often sufficient to move the vehicle a few
yards to receive a complete route recommendation.
Travelling abroad:
If you intend to travel through different regions or
abroad you will need the respective CD. Contact your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center to purchase a CD.
Remove the actual Navigation CD when you leave a
region or cross the border and insert the Navigation CD
for the region or country you travelling through. Notes
