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 of comparable
length available
Highways within blocked areas are always taken
into consideration in the route calculation.
iAlternatively, you can carry out this opera-
tion using the touchpad (Ypage 22).

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become outdated in the same way as conven-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
84Map functions
Navigation

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.
Carrying out a manual update
You can carry out the update 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.
