( Y page 139).
If this is the case, COMAND checks whether
there are any car pool lanes on the route. If
there are, they are taken into account during
route calculation. Route guidance will then
include car pool lanes.
Car pool lanes may only be used under certain
conditions. Please observe the relevant legal
requirements.

Off-road
Important safety note
GWARNING
The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of traversing through without
damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver's sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the route. Off-road routes
may be of varying conditions and their
appropriateness for use may be affected by
various factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
cannot be judged or taken into consideration
by the COMAND system.
Route guidance to a destination that is not
on a digitized road
COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area covered by the
digital map, but which are not themselves
recorded on the map.
These destinations are known as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using the
map, for example. In these cases, COMAND
guides you for as long as possible with
navigation announcements and displays on
roads known to the system.
Example display: route guidance to an off-road
destination
:Off-road destination;Off-road route section (dashed blue)=Current vehicle position (the tip of the
triangle indicates the vehicle’s direction
of travel)?Off-road (no street names available)
If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part
of the digital map, the display appears as a
split-screen view. On the right-hand side, an
arrow appears which points to off-road

Information about new versions of map
software can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
You can have your map software updated
there with a DVD, or you can update it
yourself.
Updating processGWARNING
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.
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 the starter battery is not sufficiently
charged, COMAND may end the process
automatically. This protects the battery. If
this occurs, restart the update with the
engine running.

the six-digit activation code from an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. If you
have lost the activation code, contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. If
COMAND does not accept the activation
code that you have received, also contact an
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
or the map software is supplied as a DVD. 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.
