2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class SEDAN navigation system

Avoiding an area
General notes The multimedia system enables you to avoid
areas you do not wish to drive through.
If you activate or deactivate a route block while
route guidance is active, the multimedia system will calculate a new route. If you activate or
deactivate a route block while route guidance is
inactive, the multimedia system will use the new setting for the next route guidance.
The calculated route may include an area to be
avoided if:
R your destination is located in such an area
R there is no alternative route of comparable
length available
Highways within blocked areas are always taken
into consideration in the route calculation.
i Alternatively, you can carry out this opera-
tion using the touchpad (Y page 24).

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become outdated in the same way as conven-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
Map functionsNavigation

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

Introduction
Always pay attention to traffic conditions.
Familiarize yourself with the address book func-
tions before beginning your journey.
You can use the multimedia system when the
road and traffic conditions permit. You could
otherwise become involved in an accident in
which you or others could be injured.
The address book displays all the contacts from
the various sources (mobile phone, memory
card, USB device, the phone book of the multi-
media system, navigation).
You can use the contacts to make telephone
calls, navigate and to write messages.
If a mobile phone is connected to the multimedia system and automatic calling up is activated
(Y page 108), the mobile phone's contacts are
displayed in the address book. If you disconnect the mobile phone from the multimedia system,
these contacts are no longer displayed in the
address book.
When you import, save, edit or add contacts,
they will be saved in the multimedia system.
These contacts will remain available even when you connect the multimedia system to a differ-
ent mobile phone. You can view these contacts
even without a mobile phone.
i The address book can store a total of 5,000
contacts:
R 2000 entries are reserved for permanently
saved contacts.
R 3000 entries are reserved for contacts that
you can load from the mobile phone.
i Before selling your vehicle, delete the con-
tacts saved in the multimedia system using
the reset function (Y page 43). Calling up the address book

Introduction
If your mobile phone supports the PBAP Blue-
tooth ®
profile, the call lists from the mobile
phone are displayed in the multimedia system.
When connecting the mobile phone, you may
have to confirm the connection for the PBAP
Bluetooth ®
profile.
If your mobile phone does not support the PBAP Bluetooth ®
profile, the multimedia system gen-
erates its own call lists. These are not the same
as the call lists in your mobile phone.
The call lists option is not available unless a
mobile phone is connected to the multimedia
system.
If the contact for an incoming call is not saved in the address book, you can use the call list to
save the telephone number. You can save this telephone number as a new contact in the
address book or add it to an existing contact
(Y
