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 E-Class (211) 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 module.
The navigation module is mounted on the
left-hand side of the trunk.

computer ejects the DVD.
Navigation DVDLoading/ejecting the DVD i
Your 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.
