Updating the digital map
Introduction The digital maps generated by the map
software become outdated in the same way
as conventional road maps. Optimal route
guidance 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 an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. You can have the
digital map updated there with a DVD, or you
can update it yourself.

(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 may
automatically switch off .This protects the
battery. If this occurs, restart the update
with the engine running.

Problems with the navigation system
Problem Possible causes/consequences and
0005 Solutions
COMAND is unable to
continue route
guidance after the
journey has been
interrupted. Route guidance is canceled if you interrupt the journey for more
than two hours.
"Interrupting the journey" refers to stopping the vehicle.
"Continuing route guidance" refers to switching COMAND back on
and driving on.
X Continue route guidance (Y page 92).Problem Possible causes/consequences and
0005 Solutions
COMAND is unable to
determine the vehicle's
position. COMAND has to redetermine the position of the vehicle if the
vehicle has been transported.
Example:
R
After transporting the vehicle by ferry
R After transporting the vehicle by motorail
R After the vehicle has been towed
X Start the vehicle and pull away.
COMAND determines the vehicle's position. Depending on the
driving situation, this may take some time.
Route guidance may be restricted during the determination of
the vehicle's position.
When positioning is complete, route guidance is resumed with
navigation announcements and route guidance displays. Problems with the navigation system
