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.

Procedure and general information
Searching for and authorizing (connecting)
a mobile phone
Before using your mobile phone with the multi-
media system for the first time, you will need to search for the phone (
Ypage 94) and then
authorize it (Ypage 94). Depending on the
mobile phone, authorization either takes place
by means of Secure Simple Pairing or by enter-
ing a passkey. The multimedia system automat-
ically makes the procedure that is relevant for
your mobile phone available. You can recognize
Secure Simple Pairing by the fact that a code is
displayed on the mobile phone and on the mul-
timedia system. You can recognize the passkey
system by the fact that you have to enter a code
on the mobile phone and on the multimedia sys-
tem. The mobile phone is always connected
automatically after authorization.
If the multimedia system does not detect your
mobile phone, this may be due to particular
security settings on your mobile phone. You can
also start the search procedure and authoriza-
tion on the mobile phone (
Ypage 95).
Device-specific information on authorizing and
connecting Bluetooth
®-capable mobile phones
can be found on the Internet at http://
www.mercedes-benz.com/connect .
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones. After authorization, the connection of the last two tel-
ephones used always functions automatically.
Only one mobile phone can be connected to the
multimedia system at any one time.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if
you leave the receiver range of the multimedia
system or deactivate Bluetooth
®on your mobile
phone.
If you no longer want the Bluetooth
®connection
to be established automatically, the mobile
phone must be de-authorized (disconnected)
(
Ypage 96).
