Recalculating the route dynamically
TheDynamicTrafficRouteroute type takes
into account all of the traffic reports it receives for the current route when calculating the route
(
Ypage 50).
If you have selected Dynamic Traffic Route
as the route type, the multimedia system guides
you to your destination along the updated route.
Storing destinations
General notes
If a route to a destination has been calculated,
the multimedia system saves the destination to
the last destinations memory. If the memory is
full, the multimedia system overwrites the old-
est destination. When you save the current vehi-
cle position or a crosshair position, this position
is stored in the "Last destinations" memory.
You can save destinations permanently in the
address book and on an SD card. For example,
you can save a destination as your home
address immediately after entering the address
(
Ypage 53).
Requirements: the SD card has the FAT data
system format (e.g. FAT32).
Storing the destination in the address
book
The example shows an intermediate destina-
tion.
XTo select Save: turn and press the controller.
A menu appears.
XNew contact: selectAs New Contact.
If the address book already contains con-
tacts, the entry Add
toContactis also avail-
able.
XSelect Not Classified,Homeor Work.

address.

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.
