General notes
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking the following into
account, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and yield signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R road narrowing
R temporary traffic rules and regulations
The navigation system can give differing driving
recommendations if the actual street/traffic sit- uation 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 regulations
always have priority over system driving recom- mendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (Y page 59).
The multimedia system guides you to your des-
tination by means of navigation announcements in the form of audible navigation announce-
ments and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if nav-
igation mode is switched on.
If you do not follow the navigation announce-
ments or if you leave the calculated route, the
multimedia system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
R During route guidance, the multimedia sys-
tem tries to avoid roads with restricted
access. These include, for example, roads
which are closed to through-traffic.
R Roads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed
on Sundays and public holidays) are consid-
ered 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:
R Preparation phase
R Announcement phase
R Change-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the mul-
tifunction display of the instrument cluster (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase The multimedia system prepares you for the
upcoming driving maneuver, e.g. with the
announcement "Prepare to turn right". You see
the full-screen map.
Announcement phase 0043
Next road or direction
0044 Point at which the change of direction takes
place (white dot)
0087 Change of direction (turn right here)
0085 Distance to the next change of direction
The multimedia system announces the immi-
nent change of direction.
The display is now split into two sectors. The
map is shown on the left side of the display, and a detailed image of the intersection or a 3D
image of the imminent change of direction is
shown on the right side of the display. Route guidance
71Navigation Z

Change-of-direction phase
The multimedia system announces the immedi-
ate change of direction. The change of direction is announced ahead of time, e.g. with the
announcement "Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announce-
ment phase.
The change of direction is performed when the
light-color bar on the right drops down to 0 ft and
the current vehicle position symbol has reached
the white change-of-direction point.
When the change of direction is completed, the map will appear in full screen mode again.
Display on highways The image shows an example of route guidance
at a highway intersection when driving on a
highway. Lane recommendations
Display on multi-lane roads 0043
Lanes not recommended (dark gray)
0044 Possible lane (light gray)
0087 Recommended lanes (white)
If the digital map contains the relevant data, the
multimedia system can display lane recommen-
dations on multi-lane roads for the next change
of direction.
Lane not recommended 0043: you will not be able
to complete the next change of direction if you
stay in this lane.
Possible lane 0044: you will only be able to com-
plete the next change of direction in this lane.
Recommended lane 0087: in this lane you will be
able to complete the next change of direction
and the one after that.
The multimedia system shows the lane recom-
mendations for the next two changes of direc-
tion. Lane recommendations are also shown in
the multifunction display of the instrument clus- ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Approaching new lanes 0043

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 Mercedes-
Benz Service 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 Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice 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, thenew 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
Mercedes-Benz Service Center during your vehi-
cle's annual service. You can arrange a separate appointment for this at your Mercedes-Benz
Service Center on request.
The update can only be performed:
R at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
R for 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. Navigation functions
