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become outdated in the same way as conven-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.
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:
Rat an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
Rfor 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.

Problems with the navigation system
ProblemPossible causes/consequences and MSolutions
The multimedia system
does not resume route
guidance after the jour-
ney has been interrup-
ted.Route guidance is canceled if you interrupt the journey for more than
two hours.
"Interrupting the journey" refers to stopping the vehicle.
"Continuing route guidance" refers to switching the multimedia sys-
tem back on and driving on.
XContinue route guidance manually (Ypage 92).
ProblemPossible causes/consequences andMSolutions
The multimedia system
is unable to determine
the vehicle's position.The multimedia system must identify the vehicle’s position again after
it has been transported.
Example:
RAfter transporting the vehicle by ferry
RAfter transporting the vehicle by motorail
XStart the vehicle and pull away.
The multimedia system calculates the vehicle's position. Depending
on the driving situation, this may take some time.
Route guidance may be restricted during the determination of the
vehicle's position.
When positioning is complete, route guidance is resumed with nav-
igation announcements and route guidance displays.
