Entering keywords
The keyword search is used to help find des-
tinations using fragments of words. If you
enable the appropriate setting in the search
options, the keyword search is tolerant of
errors (

It can be used for an address or a POI. For
example, you can search for the Empire State
Building in New York.
The keyword search finds geographically tol-
erant hits. If, for example, you are searching
for a street located on the edge of a major
city, the search will also cover adjacent
smaller cities.
The keyword search supports the character
sets of the system languages available.

Importing personal POIs and routes
via Mercedes-Benz Apps
You can use Mercedes-Benz Apps (e.g. Down-
load POI, Local Search) to import destinations
to the navigation system. These have their
own symbol and are filed in the Mercedes-
Benz Appscategory.
You can save the imported destinations and
routes as personal POIs and routes
(
Ypage 84).
When importing routes, please note:
RThe Mercedes-Benz Apps may generate a
route based on a different map from the
one used by COMAND. Points on the route
may therefore be situated off the digital
roads. For this reason an imported route
commenced in COMAND may deviate from the original route from the Mercedes-Benz
Apps.
RThe Mercedes-Benz Apps minimize the
number of route points offered. For this

Route guidance
General notes
Always observe the traffic regulations when
driving. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over system driving rec-
ommendations.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rtemporary traffic rules and regulations
COMAND can 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.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 71).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation announcements in the
form of audible navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
Navigation messages guide you during the
journey without distracting you from traffic
conditions or driving. Please always use this
feature instead of consulting the map display
for directions. The symbols or the map display
could distract you from traffic conditions and
driving.
The route guidance displays can be seen if
navigation mode is switched on.
If you do not follow the navigation announce-
ments or if you leave the ca
lculated route,
COMAND automatically calculates a new
route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding information, the following applies:
Rduring route guidance, COMAND tries to
avoid roads with restricted access. These include, for example, roads which are
closed to through-traffic.
Rroads 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.
Change of direction
Overview
Changes of direction have three phases:
RPreparation phase
RAnnouncement phase
RChange-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the
multifunction display of the instrument clus-
ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
change of direction, e.g. with the announce-
ment "Prepare to turn right". You see the full-
screen map.

Off-road
General notes
The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of traversing without damag-
ing your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is the
driver’s sole responsibility to determine the
suitability of the route. The status and navi-
gability of off-road routes may be influenced
by various factors such as time of day, time of
year and current weather conditions. The
COMAND system is unable to assess these
factors or take them into consideration.
Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion
COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area of the digital map,
but which are not themselves on the map.
These destinations are known as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using the
map, for example. In these cases, COMAND
guides you for as long as possible with navi-
gation announcements and displays on roads
known to the system.
If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part
of the digital map, the display appears as a

split-screen view. On the right, an arrow
appears that points to the off-road destina-
tion. You hear the announcement: "Please
follow the arrow on the display". As the vehi-
cle approaches the destination, you will see a
display to this effect.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination
Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on
the digital map, but the map does not containany information about that location.
COMAND is able to guide you to a destination
even from an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Road Not Mapped
message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The arrow
shows the compass heading to the actual
destination.
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 road construction, 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 then see the Road
Not
Mappedmessage, 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.

Updating the digital map
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 using a data medium,
or you can update it yourself.
For North American countries, it is possible to
update the map data for COMAND free of
charge for a period of three years. Information
on the availability of this service for your vehi-
cle can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
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.
They are usually installed during a regular
vehicle service. After this period, you can pur-
chase further updates from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
The free updates relate to the vehicle and not
to an individual. If there is a change of own-
ership within the three years after first regis-
tration, 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 availa-
ble, you will receive it free of charge at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center during
your vehicle's annual service. You can
arrange a separate appointment for this at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center on
request.
The update can only be performed:
Rat an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
Rfor navigation 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
106Map functions
Navigation

digital map. 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. In order to prevent this,
a suitable power supply to the vehicle must be
maintained.
