121 Navigation*
Important notes
COMAND calculates the route with the
help of data that is stored on the naviga-
tion DVD.
Only use Mercedes-Benz navigation DVDs
designed for the SLK-Class (R171)
COMAND system. No other CDs or DVDs
will work. Using other navigation CDs or
DVDs might lead to malfunctions.
Because of changes in local traffic patterns
(e.g. road works) and/or incomplete data,
errors in calculation may occur.
As a result, the recommended route may
deviate from the ideal route. The data
stored on the DVD only reflects local con-
ditions at the time of DVD production. DVD
maps do not cover all areas nor all routes
within an area.The DVD is loaded into (and ejected from)
the navigation computer.
The navigation computer is mounted in the
center of the trunk.
1Ejecting DVDs
2DVD slotLoading

Insert the DVD into the DVD slot 2
face up.
The navigation computer pulls the DVD
in.
Tips on the navigation DVD
Loading/ejecting the DVD
iYour Navigation DVD drive has been
designed to play DVDs which corre-
spond to the IEC 60908 standard.
If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g.
ones that have data on both sides (one
side with DVD data, the other side with
audio data), they cannot be ejected
and will damage the drive.

122 Navigation*Important notesEjecting 
Press 1 and wait until the naviga-
tion computer ejects the DVD.
.The navigation DVD covers the continental
U.S., Hawaii and Canada.
Contact your Mercedes-Benz Center or the
Customer Assistance Center in the U.S. at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372)
or in Canada at 1-800-387-0100 for other
DVDs that may be available.
Change the navigation DVD
(page 121).If your vehicle has been transported by a
car, train or ferry, COMAND may require
some time to find its exact position.
COMAND may issue navigation announce-
ments not suited to your actual position.
Moving the vehicle a few yards is typically
enough to remedy the situation.
Travelling abroad
Route guidance with GPSiGPS (G
lobal P
ositioning S
ystem) sig-
nals received make it possible to deter-
mine 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 bad

depending on the vehicle’s location
Determination of location after
vehicle transport iThe navigation DVD must be loaded in
the navigation computer (
