For North American countries, it is possible to
update the map data for the multimedia system
free of charge for a period of three years. Infor-
mation on the availability of this service for your
vehicle can be obtained from your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Entitlement to the free update
For the first three years after your vehicle is reg-
istered, you are entitled to all available updates
to the map software for the multimedia system.
They are usually installed during a regular vehi-
cle service. After this period, you can purchase
further updates from your authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
The free updates relate to the vehicle and not to
an individual. If there is a change of ownership
within the three years after first registration, the
new owner is entitled to the map software
updates.
Updating at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center
If an update for your map software is available,
you will receive it free of charge at your author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center during your vehi-
cle's annual service. You can arrange a separate
appointment for this at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center on request.
The update can only be performed:
Rat an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
Rfor map data for North America
The map software is not provided on DVD.
Carrying out a manual update
After the free update of the map data has
expired or when buying map data, you can
update the data yourself.
The update process may take some time (up to
45 minutes), depending on the size of the digital
map. The update will be completed more quickly if the vehicle is stationary. If you begin the
update while the vehicle is stationary and the
starter battery has insufficient power, the mul-
timedia system may switch off automatically.
This protects the battery. In order to prevent
this, a suitable power supply to the vehicle must
be maintained.

Procedure and general information
Searching for and authorizing (connecting)
a mobile phone
Before using your mobile phone with the multi-
media system for the first time, you will need to search for the phone (
Ypage 98) and then
authorize it (Ypage 98). Depending on the
mobile phone, authorization either takes place
by means of Secure Simple Pairing or by enter-
ing a passkey. The multimedia system automat-
ically makes the procedure that is relevant for
your mobile phone available. You can recognize
Secure Simple Pairing by the fact that a code is
displayed on the mobile phone and on the mul-
timedia system. You can recognize the passkey
system by the fact that you have to enter a code
on the mobile phone and on the multimedia sys-
tem. The mobile phone is always connected
automatically after authorization.
If the multimedia system does not detect your
mobile phone, this may be due to particular
security settings on your mobile phone. You can
also start the search procedure and authoriza-
tion on the mobile phone (
Ypage 99).
Device-specific information on authorizing and
connecting Bluetooth
®-capable mobile phones
can be found on the Internet at http://
www.mercedes-benz.com/connect .
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones. After authorization, the connection of the last two tel-
ephones used always functions automatically.
Only one mobile phone can be connected to the
multimedia system at any one time.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if
you leave the receiver range of the multimedia
system or deactivate Bluetooth
®on your mobile
phone.
If you no longer want the Bluetooth
®connection
to be established automatically, the mobile
phone must be de-authorized (disconnected)
(
Ypage 100).
