Important safety notes G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases leads to poisoning. There is a risk of fatal injury. Therefore never leave
the engine running in enclosed spaces with-
out sufficient ventilation.
Introduction The digital maps generated by the map soft-
ware become outdated in the same way as
conventional road maps. Optimal route guid-
ance can only be provided by the navigation
system in conjunction with the most up-to-
date map software.
Information about new versions of the digital
map can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. You can have the dig-
ital map updated there with a DVD, or you can update it yourself.
Carrying out a manual update i
The update process can take a long time
(over an hour), depending on the size of the digital map. During this time, you will only
be able to switch on radio mode and to
accept incoming calls. The update will be
completed more quickly if the vehicle is
stationary.
If you start the update with the engine
switched off and the starter battery has
insufficient power, COMAND may automat-
ically switch off. This protects the battery. If 118

this occurs, restart the update with the
engine running.
X Insert the DVD (Y page 196).
COMAND checks whether the digital map
on the DVD is compatible with the naviga-
tion system and system software.
A prompt then appears asking if you want
to install the database. Versions of the
database currently installed and the data-
base that is to be installed are displayed.
X Select Yes YesorNo
No and press 0098to confirm.
After selecting Yes
Yes, an activation code
must be entered when installing a database
for the first time. You will receive the acti-
vation code when you buy the navigation
DVD.
If you select No No, the process will be can-
celed.
X Enter the activation code.
After entering the activation code cor-
rectly, COMAND starts updating the digital
map. Once the update is finished, you will
see a message.
X To confirm the message: press0098the
COMAND controller.
X Take the DVD out of the slot.
While the update is running, you will see a
message to this effect and a progress bar.
The navigation system is not operational
until the update is complete.
i You cannot eject the DVD during the
update. If you switch off COMAND during
the update, the update is interrupted. It
then continues from where it was interrup-
ted when the system is restarted.
COMAND may prompt you to change the DVD during the update.
X Press the 0062load/eject button.

weather service. A description of the proce-
dure can be found in the "Registering satellite radio" section (Y page 191).
COMAND can receive weather forecasts via
satellite radio for the entire USA (including
Alaska and Hawaii). The received weather
data can be displayed as an information chart (daily forecast, five-day forecast, detailed
information) or on the weather map.
The weather data received from a weather
station is stored in COMAND for one hour. It
can therefore be displayed again immediately after restarting the engine (for example after
refueling).
The weather map can display the following
weather data with symbols:
R rain radar
R storm characteristics
R areas of high-pressure/low-pressure,
weather fronts
R course of tropical cyclones (hurricanes,
typhoons)
R wind direction and speeds i
The rain radar cannot be displayed for
Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
i Hurricane: term used to describe the trop-
ical cyclones that primarily develop in the
Atlantic, North Pacific and South Pacific
oceans. The wind speeds are above 74 mph
(118 km/h). Five categories are used to
classify the strength of a hurricane.
Typhoon: term used to describe a tropical
cyclone that develops in the northwestern
Pacific. The wind speeds are in the category
of a hurricane. Switching the SIRIUS Weather display
