Changes or modifications not expressly
approvedbythe party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipm ent.
Canada only: The wireless devices of th isveh i-
cle co mply wit hIndustry Canada license-
exempt RSSstandard(s). Operation issubject to
the foll owing two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause interference,
and
2) These devices must accept any interference,
inc ludin g interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Correct use
GWAR NING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as wellaswirin g can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. Inparticular, systems
relevant to safety could also beaffected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardiz e the operating safety of
the veh icle. There isan increased risk of an
acc iden t and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring aswellas elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipm ent carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
You need to observe the foll owing information
when using the multimed iasystem:
Rthe safety notes inthis manual
Rtraff icrules and regulations
Rlaws and safety standards pertaining to motor
veh icles
Using roof carriers may impair the correct func-
tioning of a roof antenna (phone, satellit e radio,
GPS).
Attaching met alized retrof it filmto the wind-
shield may affect radio reception. This can have
a negative impact on all other antennas (e.g.
emergency call antenna) inthe veh icleinterior.
Protection against theft: this device is equip-
ped with technical provisions to protect it
against theft. Further information on protection against
thef
t can
beobtained from an author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Qualified specialist workshop
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual.
Function restrictions
For safety reasons, some functions are restric-
ted or unavailable while the vehicle isin motion.
You willnotice this, for example, because either
you willnotbe able to select certain menu items
or a message will appear to this effect.
Data stored in the vehicle
Data recording
A wide range of electronic components in your
vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:
Rthe vehicle's operating state
Revents
Rmalfunctions
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
Roperating conditions of system components,
e.g. fluid leve ls
Rthe vehicle's status messages and those of its
individual components, e.g. number of wheel
revolutions/speed, decelerationinmove-
ment, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal
position
Rmalfunctions and defects in important system
components, e.g. lights, brakes
Rvehicle reactions and operating conditions in
special driving situations, e.g. air bag deploy-
ment, intervention of stability control sys-
tems
Rambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature

Real-time traffic reports
Prerequisites
In order to receive real-time traffic reports via
satellite radio, you need to subscribe to SIRIUS
XM Satellite Radio Traffic Message Service.
Further information on satellite radio
(
Ypage 143).
The multimedia system can receive traffic
reports via satellite radio and take account of
these for route guidance in the navigation sys-
tem. Received traffic reports are displayed on
the map either as text or as symbols.
Real-time traffic reports on the map
Traffic reports are shown on the map with sym-
bols and colored lines. The symbols indicate the
type of traffic report and the colored lines show
the extent of the area affected by the traffic
incident. The symbols are shown in map scales
from 1/32 miles (20 m) to 10 miles (10 km).
When :is displayed, traffic reports can be
received or traffic reports are available. If it is
not displayed, no reception is possible.

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.
