Units of measurement
The units of measurement in navigation mode
are identical to those displayed in the instru-
ment cluster. The units of measurement may
only be changed via the instrument cluster.
Input restrictions
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a
restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active above a vehicle speed
of about 5 km/h. The restriction is deactiva-
ted as soon as the vehicle speed drops below
about 3 km/h.
When the restriction is active it is not possible
to enter specific items, e.g. a town or street
name. You will recognise this because certain
menu items cannot be selected.

jam, for example. If a quicker route is deter-
mined due to a received RDS-TMC traffic
announcement, the navigation system
changes the route. If possible, it will bypass
blockages.
R Short route: COMAND calculates a route
with the shortest possible (minimised) dis-
tance regarding distance and driving time.

i COMAND calculates a new route if you
change the route type setting with route
guidance active. If you change the route
type setting when route guidance is inac-
tive, COMAND uses the new setting for the
next route guidance.
Setting route options This function allows you to set the following
options for route guidance:
R Avoid motorways
R Avoid toll roads
R Avoid routes requiring special
toll sticker
R Avoid tunnels
R Avoid ferries
R Avoid motorail trains
X Select NaviQMode:
The mode list appears.
The selected option is indicated by a O
tick. It is possible to select more than one
option.
X To activate or deactivate an option:
select the desired option.
The option is selected or deselected,
depending on the previous status. X
To exit the menu: slideXVY.
COMAND will verify whether it can imple-
ment the options if you have selected them
with route guidance active. If it can,
COMAND calculates a new route while
implementing the options selected. If it
cannot, you will see and hear a correspond-
ing message.
X Select OK.
COMAND calculates a new route. Only
those options which can be implemented
are considered. Installing map software
The digital maps generated by the map soft-
ware become outdated in the same way as
conventional road maps. Optimum route
guidance can only be provided by the naviga-
tion system in conjunction with the most up-
to-date map software. Information about new
map software versions can be obtained from
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
You can install new map software, which may
consist of one of more DVDs (depending on
the scope), yourself.
The installation process can take between
10 and 120 minutes, depending on the scope
of the map software. If the radio is switched
on before you start the installation process,
you can still adjust the volume. You can also
use COMAND to operate the automatic air-
conditioning system and to cancel the proc-
ess. Other functions are not operational. If
possible, carry out the installation process
when the vehicle is stationary. The DVD read
speed is higher when the vehicle is stationary
than when it is in motion, so less time is
required. If the starter battery is not suffi-
ciently charged, COMAND may end the proc-
ess automatically, in order to protect the bat-
tery. Therefore, let the engine idle during the
installation process. 132

Points to remember
G
Risk of injury
The seats can still be adjusted when there is
no key in the ignition lock. For this reason,
children should never be left unsupervised in
the vehicle. They could become trapped when
adjusting a seat. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle
is stationary. You will otherwise be distracted from the road and traffic conditions and you
could lose control of the vehicle as a result of
the seat moving. This could cause an acci-
dent. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when you adjust the seat.
Observe the notes concerning the airbag sys-
tem.
Secure children as recommended; see "Chil-
dren in the vehicle" section. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that the central area of the head
restraint supports the back of your head at
about eye level. You could seriously injure
your neck if your head is not correctly sup-
ported by the head restraint in the event of an
accident. Never travel without a correctly
adjusted and engaged head restraint.
! When you move the seats, make sure that
there are no objects in the footwell or
behind the seats. Otherwise, you could
damage the seats and the objects.
i The head restraints cannot be removed. Adjusting the seat electrically

The mirrors do not go into anti-dazzle mode if
reverse gear is engaged or the interior lighting
is switched on. G
Risk of accident
If the incident light from headlamps cannot
strike the sensor in the rear-view mirror, for
instance, when the rear window blind* is
extended, the mirror's automatic anti-dazzle
function will not operate.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This may
distract you from the traffic conditions, and
you may, thereby, cause an accident. In this
case, adjust the rear-view mirror manually. Memory function
Storing settings
Using the memory button you can store up to
three different settings, e. g. for three differ-
ent people.
The following settings are stored as a single
memory preset:
R seat, backrest, head restraint position and
contour of the backrest in the lumbar
region
R active multicontour seat*: activated/deac-
tivated
R multicontour seat*: the side bolsters of the
seat cushion and the backrest as well as
the contour of the backrest in the lumbar
and shoulder regions
R driver's side: steering wheel position
R driver's side: position of the exterior mir-
rors on the driver's and front-passenger
sides G
Risk of injury
The memory function can still be used when
the key has been removed. For this reason,
children should never be left unsupervised in
the vehicle. Otherwise, they could become
trapped when moving the seat or the steering
wheel. G
Risk of accident
Only use the memory function on the driver’s
side when the vehicle is stationary. Other-
wise, you could be distracted from the traffic
conditions by the steering wheel and seat
moving of their own accord, and as a result
cause an accident. X

ing wheel ( Ypage 187) and the mirrors

The hazard warning lamps still operate if the
ignition is switched off. They switch on auto-
matically if an airbag is deployed or if you
brake sharply and bring the vehicle to a halt
from a speed of more than 70 km/h.
X To switch on: press button:.
All turn signals flash. If you now switch on
a turn signal using the combination switch
(Y page 196), only the turn signal lamp on
the corresponding side of the vehicle will
flash.
X To switch off: press button:. Headlamp cleaning system
The headlamps are cleaned automatically if
the "Wipe with washer fluid" function is oper-
ated five times while the lights are on and the
engine is running. When you switch off the
ignition, the automatic headlamp cleaning
system is reset and counting is resumed
from 0. Intelligent Light System
The Intelligent Light System is a system which
adjusts the headlamps automatically to suit
the prevailing driving and weather conditions.
The bi-xenon headlamps offer enhanced func-
tions to improve illumination of the road sur-
face, e.g. depending on the vehicle speed or
weather conditions. The system includes the
active light system, cornering light function,
motorway mode and extended range fog-
lamps. The system is only active when it is
dark. Active light system The active light function is a system that
moves the headlamps according to the steer-
ing movements of the front wheels. In this
way, relevant areas remain illuminated while
driving. This allows you to recognise pedes-
trians, cyclists and animals.
Cornering light
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road surface in the broad
direction you are turning, e.g. making it easier
to see in tight corners. It can only be activated
when the dipped-beam headlamps are
switched on.
Active:
R
if you are driving at speeds below
40 km/h, the cornering light function is
activated either by the turn signal or by the
steering wheel being turned.
R if you are driving at speeds between
40 km/h and 70 km/h, the cornering light Lights
