General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system After delivery of the vehicle
In vehicles for certain countries, the naviga-
tion system is not operational immediately
after delivery because the map software is
not pre-installed there.
If this is the case, the following message
appears in the display when you press the
0015 function button to switch to navigation
mode: Please insert the map DVD to
activate navigation.
X To install the map software: proceed as
described in the "Update process" section
(Y page 91).
i Please note that in this case, the update
must be allowed to run to the end. If you
cancel the update, the navigation system
will continue to be non-operational.
After updating the system software
After a system software update at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, the installed
map software may no longer be compatible.
If this is the case, the navigation system will
not be operational.
X To update the map software: proceed as
described in the "Update process" section
(Y page 91). Use map software which is
compatible with the system software.
i Please note that in this case, the update
must be allowed to run to the end. If you
cancel it, the navigation system will con-
tinue to be non-operational.
The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
wheneve roperational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible. GPS reception Amongst other things, correct functioning of
the navigation system depends on GPS recep-
tion
.Inc ertain situations, GPS reception may
be impaired, there may be interference or
there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tun-
nels or multi-storey car parks.
Route guidance after vehicle transpor-
tation COMAND has to redetermine the position of
the vehicle if the vehicle has been transported
(e.g. by ferry, by motorail or after towing).
The position is determined automatically
when the vehicle pulls away again, even if
COMAND is switched off. The duration will
vary from one situation to another.
Route guidance may be restricted as follows
during vehicle positioning:
R navigation announcements, route guid-
ance displays and displayed street names
are not consisten twith the actual location
of the vehicle.
R COMAND does not generate navigation
announcements.
R instead of the route guidance displays, you
see the Off road display and a directional
arrow. The direction arrow shows the com-
pass heading to the destination.
When positioning is complete ,route guidance
is resumed with navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
Interrupting the journey during route
guidance The following applies if you interrupt the jour-
ney during route guidance and continue the
journey later on:
R
COMAND resumes route guidance auto-
matically if you continue the journey within
two hours.
R route guidance is cancelled if you continue
the journey after more than two hours. It Navigation system (introduction)

Characteristics of the drive programs Drive program
Cis characterised by the fol-
lowing:
R comfort-oriented engine and transmission
settings
R optimal fuel consumption resulting from
the transmission shifting up sooner
R the vehicle pulling away more gently in
forward and reverse gears, unless the
accelerator pedal is depressed fully R
increased sensitivity; this improves driving
stability on slippery road surfaces, for
example
R the transmission shifting up sooner, which
results in the vehicle being driven at lower
engine speeds and the wheels being less
likely to spin
Drive programs Sand S+are characterised
by the following:
R sporty engine and transmission settings
R the transmission shifting up later and shift-
ing down dynamically
R as a result of the later transmission
upshifts, the fuel consumption may be
higher
R if a period of dynamic driving is followed by
an extended phase with a constan taccel-
erator pedal position, the vehicle shifts up
to a higher gear. This optimises fuel con-
sumption.
Drive program Mis characterised by the fol-
lowing:
R you can shift gears up or dow nsucces-
sively. Fo rfurther details, see
(Y page 227).

RACE START RACE START facilitates optimum vehicle
acceleration from a standstill if the road sur-
face offers suitable grip. G
Risk of accident
RACE START is only available in ESP ®
Sport
mode. ESP ®
Sport only performs limited vehi-
cle stabilisation if the vehicle begins to skid
or if one of the wheels starts to spin. The vehi-
cle will therefore be more difficult to control
in extreme driving situations. This could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle and cause
an accident.
RACE START is intended solely for use on
dedicated race circuits. Always adapt your
driving style to the prevailing road and
weather conditions.
Conditions for activation
You can activate RACE START if:
R the doors are closed.
R the engine is running and the engine and
transmission are at operating temperature.
