COMAND may give differing navigation com-
mands if the actual street/traffic situation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. For example, if the road layout or the
direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (Y page 69).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation announcements in the
form of audible navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if the
display is switched to navigation mode.
If you do not follow the navigation announce-
ments or if you leave the calculated route,
COMAND automatically calculates a new
route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
R during route guidance, COMAND tries to
avoid roads with restricted access. Those
roads, for example, that are closed to
through-traffic.
R roads that have time restrictions (e.g.
closed on Sundays and public holidays) are
considered for route guidance on days
when they are open. For this purpose, the
relevant times must be correctly stored in
the database. Displays during route guidance

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ware become outdated in the same way as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 an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. You can have the dig-
ital map updated there with a DVD, or you can
update it yourself.
Carrying out a manual update i
The update process can take a long 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 automat-
ically switch off. This protects the battery.
If this occurs, restart the update with the
engine running.
X Insert the DVD:
R
in the single DVD drive (Y page 188)
R in the DVD changer (Y page 188)
COMAND checks whether the digital map
on the DVD is compatible with the naviga-
tion system and system software.
A prompt then appears asking if you want
to install the database. Versions of the
database currently installed and the data-
base that is to be installed are displayed.
X Select Yes
Yes orNo No and press 0098to confirm.
After selecting Yes
Yes, an activation code
must be entered when installing a database
for the first time. You will receive the acti- vation code when you buy the navigation
DVD.
If you select No
No, the process will be can-
celed.
X Enter the activation code.
After entering the activation code cor-
rectly, COMAND starts updating the digital
map. Once the update is finished, you will
see a message.
X To confirm the message: press0098the
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.
The navigation system is not operational
until the update is complete.
i You cannot eject the DVD during the
update. If you switch off COMAND during
the update, the update is interrupted. It
then continues from where it was inter-
rupted when the system is restarted.
COMAND may prompt you to change the DVD
during the update.
X Press the 0065(for DVD changer) or
0062 (for single DVD drive) load/eject but-
ton.
X Take the DVD out of the slot.
X Insert the requested DVD.
Once the update has been successfully
completed, you will see a message to this
effect.
X To confirm the message: press0098the
COMAND controller.
X Take the DVD out of the slot.
The update is complete.
If the update is not successfully completed,
you will see a message that the map update
is not possible.
