conventional road maps. Optimal route guid-
ance 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 a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
You can have your map software updated
there with a DVD, or you can update it your-
self.
Notes on handling DVDs R
Only hold discs by the edge.
R Handle discs carefully to prevent read
errors.
R Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and
dust on discs.
R Use a commercially available cleaning cloth
to clean discs. Do not wipe them with a cir-
cular motion, bu tonly in straight lines from
the centre outwards.
R Place discs back in thei rcases after use.
R Protect discs from heat and direct sunlight.
Updating process The process consists of th
efollowing steps:
R insert the DVD into the single DVD drive or
the DVD changer*.
R then, the updating process begins.
i The update process can take between
60 and 150 minutes, depending on the size
of the map software. All functions which do
not require access to the single DVD drive,
the DVD changer* or the COMAND hard
drive are still operational.
If possible, carry out the update when the
vehicle is stationary. This way you require
less time for the update process, as the
DVD read speed is faster when the vehicle
is stationary.
If you perform the update when the engine
is switched off and the starter battery does
not have enough charge, COMAND may
switch off automatically during the process in order to preserve the battery. If this
occurs, restart the update with the engine
running. G
Risk of poisoning
Never run the engine in an enclosed space.
The exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes is hazard-
ous to your health and can lead to loss of con-
sciousness and death.
i You can interrupt the update process and
recommence later. If you interrupt the
update process, the navigation system will
not be operational.

Mercedes-Benz Service Centre and have
them installed in the centre armrest.
In the bracket*, the mobile phone battery is
charged and a connection is made to the
vehicle's exterior aerial.

venience telephony* function offers, in addi-
tion to the hands-free function, the ability to
load the phone book from your mobile phone
and to use the text message function (SMS).
i If your vehicle is equipped with conveni-
ence telephony*, you can also connect a

Please bear the following in mind
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
steering wheel can be adjusted either man-
ually or electrically*. G
Risk of injury
The electrically adjustable steering wheel*
can be adjusted whe nthe key is removed
from the ignition lock and the driver's door is
open. Therefore, do not leave children unsu- pervised in the vehicle as they could become
trapped as the steering wheel is adjusted.
G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the steering wheel when the vehi-
cle is stationary and do not pull away until the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism is
locked in position. You might otherwise drive
without the steering wheel adjustment mech-
anism being locked in position. As a result,
you could be distracted from road and traffic
conditions by an unintentional movement of
the steering wheel and thereby cause an acci-
dent.
However, the steerability of the vehicle is not
affected.
When you adjust the steering wheel, make
sure that:
R the steering wheel can be reached with
your arms slightly bent
R you can move your legs freely
R you can see all the displays in the instru-
ment cluster clearly Adjusting the steering wheel
