Navigation
Important notes
COMAND calculates the route with the
help of data that is stored on the navigati-
on DVD.
Only use Mercedes-Benz navigation DVDs.
Using other navigation DVDs or CDs will
cause malfunctions and/or damage.
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.
Loading/ejecting a DVD
DVDs are loaded and ejected at the
navigation computer. The navigation
computer is located on the left side in the
trunk.

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 conditi-
on
i
If you do not remove the DVD from
the slot within arou nd 15 seconds, the
