be finished manually before the multimedia
system is switched off (e .g. when the engine
is switched off).
R The multimedia system minimizes the num-
ber of route points recorded. Therefore when
the recorded route is subsequently com-
menced, it may differ from the route that was originally recorded.

address book and on an SD card. For example,
you can save a destination as your home

Introduction The digital maps generated by the map software
become outdated in the same way as conven-
tional road maps. Optimal route guidance can
only be provided by the navigation system in
conjunction with the most up-to-date map soft- ware.
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 using a data medium, or you can update it yourself. 86
