Overview If COMAND Online offers the ViaMichelin
travel guide in navigation mode, you can
select tourist destinations, including routes.
In this case, the travel guide data is on a SD
memory card. First place the SD memory card
in the SD card slot (Y page 472). You can download available updates from the
Mercedes-Benz webshop.
i You can also subsequently obtain travel
guide data from the Mercedes-Benz Acces- sory webshop.
The travel guide offers you tourist destina-
tions and routes: R in the vicinity of the current vehicle position
R along the calculated route
R in the vicinity of the destination
R through selection on the map
R on a specific topic, for example, Paris, the
Alps or German wine routes
You can select:
R which travel guide data on the map can be
shown and selected (e.g. restaurants and
tourist routes)
R whether information on tourist destina-
tions is read out as you approach them
Activating/deactivating travel guide
data Categories for the display of travel guide data on
the map
Travel guide data is stored in categories, such as e.g. restaurants or tourist routes. In the
menu, you can select which travel guide cat-
egories are shown on the map, and thereforewhich can be selected. You can also deter-
mine whether available information on the
tourist destination of a particular category is
acoustically provided as you approach it. 348

tance to the destination. The arrow shows the
compass heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from
the last recognised street the vehicle was on
before it left the map.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance contin- ues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map location
to a destination
If the vehicle position is outside the area cov-
ered by the digital map, then the vehicle is in an off-map location. COMAND Online is also
able to guide you to a destination even from
an off-map location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Off road
Off road message, an arrow and the dis-
tance to the destination. The direction arrow
shows the compass heading to the destina-
tion.
The route is highlighted blue from the nearest
road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance contin- ues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
Due to roadworks, for example, there may be
differences between the data on the digital
map and the actual course of the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the
digital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off- road position.
In the display, you will see the Off road
Off road
message, an arrow and the distance to the
destination. The direction arrow shows the
compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way. Dynamic route guidance
Traffic report services You can receive traffic reports from Live Traf-
fic Information or RDS-TMC and take them
into consideration for dynamic route guid-
ance. The simultaneous use of both services
is not possible.
Traffic reports from Live Traffic Infor-
mation Conditions:
R equipped with COMAND Online
R communication module with activated,
integrated SIM card
This service can be used to receive up-to-date and accurate traffic information via the Inter-net connection available in the vehicle. Data
roaming is also available in selected Euro-
pean countries.
Advantages of Live Traffic Information
R generates and transmits a large number of
traffic reports
R traffic data is available shortly after starting
the vehicle
R traffic situation is updated every two to
three minutes
R accurate information ensures optimum
route guidance and reliably predicted
arrival times
Live Traffic Information is a subscription ser-
vice. If your vehicle is equipped with
COMAND Online, this service is available for
free for the first three years from the date of
manufacture on selected European markets.
The Live Traffic Information logo will appear in the top right of the display if your subscriptionis valid and a server connection is available.

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.

audio displays.
Many audio CDs contain CD text.
COMAND Online uses the information con-
tained therein to display the artist, album and track name.
If the audio CD does not contain any CD text
information, COMAND Online can use the
Gracenote ®
Media Database to identify
unknown audio tracks when in audio CD
mode. This is only possible if the relevant
information is saved in the Gracenote Media
Database and if the Gracenote Media Data-
base function is activated.
If this is the case, COMAND Online will display
the corresponding data such as artist, album
and track name in the relevant displays and
