Installing new map software
The digital maps generated by the map
software become outdated in the same way
as conventional road maps. Optimum route
guidance can only be provided by
the navigation system in conjunction with the
most up-to-date map software. Information
about new map software versions can be
obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
172NavigationCOMAND

You can install new map software yourself
which, depending on the scope, may consist
of one or more DVDs.
The installation process can take between
10 and 120 minutes, depending on the scope
of the map software. If the radio is switched
on before you start the installation process,
you can still adjust the volume. You can also
use COMAND to operate automatic climate
control and to cancel the process. Other
functions are not operational. If possible,
carry out the installation when the vehicle is
stationary. The DVD read speed is higher
when the vehicle is stationary than when it is
in motion, so less time is required. If the
starter battery is not sufficiently charged,
COMAND may end the process automatically
in order to protect the battery. Therefore, let
the engine idle during the installation
process.GWARNING
Never leave the engine running in enclosed
spaces. The exhaust gases contain toxic
carbon monoxide. Breathing in exhaust fumes
is a health hazard and can lead to
unconsciousness or death.

Notes on handling DVDs
R Only hold DVDs by the edge.
R Handle DVDs carefully to prevent reading
errors.
R Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and
dust on DVDs.
R Use a commercially-available cleaning
cloth to clean discs. When cleaning CDs,
you should wipe in straight lines from the
center outwards rather than in a circular
motion.
R Place DVDs back in their cases after use.
R Protect DVDs from heat and direct sunlight.
Map software copy protection
Map software for COMAND is subject to a
charge. The map software has just one
activation code which is usable in one vehicle
only, and is not transferable. You can obtain
the six-digit activation code from your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. If you
have lost the activation code, or if COMAND
does not accept the activation code that you
have received, contact your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Your vehicle is supplied with map software at
the factory. Depending on the country, map
software for your region is either pre-installed
(Europe/USA) or the map software is
supplied as a DVD (all other countries). You
do not require an activation code for the map
software that is provided with your vehicle.
If the map software on your vehicle has been
installed at the factory and you wish to
reinstall it, this also does not necessitate
entry of the activation code.

incorrectly three times, the prompt asking
you to enter the activation code appears after
a time delay. The time delay increases every
time the activation code is entered
incorrectly, from five minutes up to a
maximum of five hours.
