Important notes
COMAND calculates the route with the

-
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.
