Map software
The digital maps generated by the map
software become outdated in the same
way as conventional road maps. Optimum
route guidance can only be provided by the
navigation system in conjunction with the
most up-to-date map software.
Information about new map software ver-
sions can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.Updating the map software
You can update the map software yourself
using a DVD.
Notes about handling DVDs

Only hold discs by the edge.

Handle discs carefully to prevent read
problems.

Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints
and dust on discs.

Use a commercially-available cleaning
cloth to clean discs. Do not wipe them
with a circular motion, but only in
straight lines from the center out-
wards.

Place discs back in their boxes after
use.

Protect discs from heat and direct sun-
light.
Updating process
The updating process has the following
phases:

Loading a DVD into the DVD changer
(

Updating process (page 151)
iThe updating process can take between 10
and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the
map software. If the radio was switched on be-
fore you started the updating process, you can
still adjust the volume. You can also use
COMAND to operate the automatic air condition-
ing and to cancel the process. Other functions
are not operational.
If possible, carry out the update when the vehicle
is stationary.

COMAND navigation (introduction)
When positioning is complete, route guid-
ance is once again possible using naviga-
tion announcements and route guidance
displays.
Interrupting the journey during route
guidance
The following applies if you interrupt the
journey during route guidance and contin-
ue the journey later:

COMAND resumes route guidance au-
tomatically if you continue the journey
within 2 hours.

Route guidance is canceled if you con-
tinue the journey after more than
2 hours. It will be necessary to resume
the canceled route guidance manually
(
page 203).Hard disk errors
COMAND has an integrated hard disk on
which the map software is saved.
If an area of the hard disk has an error,
COMAND can no longer access the map
data in this area, for example, when calcu-
lating a route.
The message “Navigation Unavailable.
Please refer to the operating instructions.”
appears.
Deleting message: Switch COMAND
off and back on.
Units of measurement
The units of measurement in navigation
mode are identical to those set in the in-
strument cluster.
Input restrictions
The input restrictions are imposed starting
at a particular vehicle speed. The restric-
tions are canceled as soon as the speed
drops below a certain value.
When the restriction is active, certain oper-
ations or entries are not possible.
You will notice this by the fact that some
menu items cannot be selected or certain
operations will not be possible.
iThe journey is interrupted if you park the ve-
hicle and switch off COMAND.
The journey is continued when you switch
COMAND back on and start driving on.
iIf you switch the navigation system off/on,
it will be operational again until it has to access
the faulty area of the hard disk again. The mes-
sage will then appear again. Consult an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center.
