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:
Ryour destination is located in such an area
Rthere is no alternative route available
Highways within blocked areas are always taken
into consideration in the route calculation.

Updating the digital map
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become outdated in the same way as conven-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.
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 an 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
88Map functions
Navigation

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 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 an authorizedMercedes-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 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.

Address book
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
(
Ypage 111), 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.
iThe address book can store a total of 5000
contacts.
R2000 entries are reserved for permanently
saved contacts.
R3000 entries are reserved for contacts that
you can load from the mobile phone.
iBefore selling your vehicle, delete the con-
tacts saved in the multimedia system using
the reset function (
Ypage 43).
