COMAND navigation (introduction)
Safety notes
G
Warning!
For safety reasons, only enter a destination
when the vehicle is stationary. When the
vehicle is
in motion, a passenger should enter
the destination. Study manual and select
route before driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R Traffic lights
R Stop and right-of-way signs
R Parking or stopping in prohibited areas
R Lane merging
R Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R Narrow bridges
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map does
not correspond with the actual road or traffic
situation. Maps do not cover all areas nor all
routes within an area. For example, if the
traffic routing has been changed or the
direction of a one-way road has been
reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and
regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands
generated by the system. G
Warning!
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you

while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use navigation announcements
instead of consulting the map display for
directions. Consulting the symbols or map display for directions may cause you to divert
your
attention

from driving and increase your
risk of an accident. 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software become outdated in the same way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
latest map software. Information about new
map software versions can be obtained from
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Displaying installed map version X
Navi Q Map Version
The installed map version is displayed.
For information on installing new map
software see ( Y page 83). Installing the map software
Your vehicle is factory-equipped with map
software for the USA (including Alaska and
Hawaii), Canada, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and
Puerto Rico.
You can

install new map software from one or
more DVDs, depending on the size of the map
software.
Copy protection of map software COMAND map software is subject to charges.
The map software requires an activation
code. The map software can be used for one
individual vehicle only and is
non-transferrable. The six-digit activation
code
is

available at any authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center in case you have lost
your activation code or when the COMAND
system does not accept the activation code
you have received. COMAND navigation (introduction)

address ( Y page 110).
You can enter stopover destinations on the
route or in the vicinity of the route.

COMAND first looks for destinations along
the vehicle’s route and within the immediate
vicinity of the vehicle. If there are no
destinations available there, COMAND
searches for destinations in an area around
the vehicle position.
If COMAND does not find any destinations,
you will see a message to this effect.
X Select OK.
You can now select a different category.
If COMAND finds destinations, you will see a
list of the destinations and details of how far
away they are in the right-hand side of the

the destinations are can take a few seconds
to be displayed.

Examples of displays and
announcements for a driving
maneuver
Driving maneuvers have three phases:
R Preparation phase
R Announcement phase
R Maneuver phase
Preparation phase COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
driving maneuver. Based on the example
display below, the driving maneuver is
announced with the Prepare to turn
left message. The display is not split and
shows the map over the full screen.
:
Point at which the driving maneuver takes
place (light blue dot)
; Route (highlighted blue)
= Current vehicle position; the triangle
points in the vehicle’s direction of travel
Announcement phase COMAND announces the next driving
maneuver. Based on the example display
below, the driving maneuver is announced
700 feet in advance with the
Turn left in
700 feet to your destination message.
The display is divided in two. In the left half,
you see the normal map view. In the right half,
there is either an enlarged view of the area
surrounding the intersection (intersection
zoom) or simply a symbol for the next driving
maneuver. The following example illustration shows the
intersection zoom in the right half.
:

place (light blue dot, shown in both the left
and right displays)

driving maneuver
B Route (highlighted in blue; shown in both
the left and right displays)
C Current vehicle position; the triangle
indicates the vehicle’s direction of travel
(shown in both the left and right displays)
D Street on which you are currently driving,
if included on the digital map
E Destination flag
i The filled-in section of distance graphic
= gets shorter the nearer you get to the
announced driving maneuver.
Maneuver phase COMAND announces the next driving
maneuver. Based on the example display
below, the driving maneuver is announced
150 feet in advance with the
Now turn
left message. The display is also split into
two halves, as for the announcement phase.
i Once the maneuver is completed,
COMAND automatically switches back to
the non-split screen. COMAND navigation system (route guidance)

:

; Destination flag
i An additional announcement may sound
for some destinations, for example
selected POIs or destination entries that
include the house number, telling you
whether the destination is on the left or
right side of the street. Partially digitized areas
i The digital map may contain areas that
are only partially attributed. G
Warning!
Due to incomplete digitization, the route
shown on the map may differ from the actual
road/traffic situation.
If you follow the route shown on the map, for
example, it is possible that you could drive the
wrong way down a one-way street or that a
street cannot be driven on.
When using route guidance in a partially
attributed area, you must therefore be sure to
observe all relevant traffic regulations and the
course of the road.
All relevant traffic regulations and the course
of the road always take priority over the route
shown on the map. COMAND navigation system (route guidance)
