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software become outdated in the same way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.
Important safety notes G

Never leave the engine running in an enclosed
space. The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gases constitutes
a health hazard and could lead to loss of
consciousness or even death.

The update process can tak ealong 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 may
automatically switch off .This protects the
battery. If this occurs, restart the update
with the engine running.
X Insert the DVD:

on the DVD is compatible with the
navigation system and system software. Ap
rompt then appears asking if you want
to install the database. Versions of the
database currently installed and the
database that is to be installed are
displayed.
X Select Yes or
No and press
0037to confirm.
After selecting Yes , an activation code
must be entered when installing a database
for the first time. You will receive the
activation code when you buy the
navigation DVD.
If you select No , the process will be
canceled.

correctly, COMAND starts updating the
digital map. Once the update is finished,
you will see a message.
X To confirm the message: press0037the
COMAND controller.
X Take the DVD out of the slot.
While the update is running, you will see a
message to this effect and a progress bar.

update. If you switch off COMAND during
the update, the update is interrupted. It
then continues from where it was
interrupted when the system is restarted.
COMAND may prompt you to change the DVD
during the update.
X Press the 0009(for DVD changer) or
0007 (for single DVD drive) load/eject
