Important notes
Travelling abroad
If you intend to travel through different re-
gions or abroad, you will need the respec-
tive navigation DVD.
Contact your Mercedes-Benz Center or
the Client Assistance Center at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372)
for available DVDs.
Change the navigation DVD

GPS (Global Positioning System) sig-
nals received make it possible to de-
termine the current vehicle position.
Deviations from the actual position
may occur

If the reception of GPS signals is
disturbed, e.g. in parking garages
and tunnels

If road conditions are poor

If your vehicle has been damaged
The MCS may require some time to
find its exact position after your vehi-
cle has been transported by car, train,
or ferry. Moving the vehicle a few yards
is typically enough to remedy this situ-
ation.
