Recording the route Notes
If you have activated COMAND Online and the
SD memory card has been inserted, you
should not take it out of the slot.
You can store up to 100 routes.
When you record a route, COMAND Online
uses so-called support points and displays
the route as a series of lines. If the route is
then calculated, COMAND Online attempts to
align the recorded route with the digital map.
The support points of the route may not be on
a digitised road. This is often the case with routes which are
drawn up using other map data and imported
via the online function, e.g.:
R routes from the Google™ Local Search
(Y page 442)

load (Y page 446)

The traffic information is provided by a traffic
data supplier and is based on various sources and data. It is necessary to regularly transmitinformation on your vehicle's position to
Daimler AG if you wish to use Live Traffic
Information. This data is then made anony-
mous and forwarded to the traffic data sup-
pliers. This anonymous data is used to trans-
mit all traffic reports to the vehicle that are
relevant for the current vehicle position. On
the other hand, as the vehicle acts as a traffic flow sensor, the quality of the traffic reports is
enhanced (source for Floating Car Data). The
anonymous data is not stored permanently.
i If you do not wish to send your vehicle's
positions, contact a Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre. Please note that by switching
off this function, Live Traffic Service will
also be automatically deactivated.

jam, for example.
There may also be differences between the
traffic reports received and the actual road

Introduction
The digital maps generated by the map soft-
ware become outdated in the same way as
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 versions of the digital map can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. You can have the digital mapupdated there with a DVD, or you can update
it yourself.
In some countries, it is possible to update the map data for COMAND Online free of charge
for a period of 3 years. Information on the
availability of this service for your vehicle can be obtained from your Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre. If the free update is not available
in your country, please read the "Updating
process" section.
Entitlement to the free update
For the first three years after your vehicle is
registered, you are entitled to all available
updates to the map software for
COMAND Online. They are usually installed
during a regular vehicle service. After this
period, you can purchase further updates
from your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The free updates relate to the vehicle and not
to an individual. If there is a change of own-
ership within 3 years of first registration, the
new owner is entitled to the map software
updates.
Availability of free updates
Enter your e-mail address at http://
www.mercedes-benz-accessories.com/
comand-infomail. You will receive a one-off e- mail containing information on how to updatethe map software. Please also visit http://
www.mercedes-benz-accessories.com/
navigation-updates to find out if map soft- ware updates for your vehicle are available at
your Mercedes-Benz partner.
Updating at the Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre
If an update for your map software is availa-
ble, you will receive it free of charge at your
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre during your
vehicle's annual service. You can arrange a
separate appointment for this at your
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre on request.
The update is performed only by a Mercedes- Benz Service Centre for European map data.
The map software is not provided on a data
medium.
Carrying out the update yourself
i The update process may take some time
(over an hour), depending on the size of the
digital map. During this time, you will only
be able to switch on radio mode and to
accept incoming calls. The update will be
completed more quickly if the vehicle is
stationary.
If you start the update with the engine
switched off and the starter battery has
insufficient power, COMAND Online may
automatically switch off. This preserves the battery. If this occurs, restart the update
with the engine running.
X Insert the DVD:
R in the single DVD drive (Y page 469)

COMAND Online checks whether the digi-
tal map on the DVD is compatible with the
navigation system and system software.

to install the database. Versions of the
database currently installed and the data-
base that is to be installed are displayed.

After selecting Yes
