Updating the digital map
Introduction The digital maps generated by the map
software become outdated in the same way
as conventional road maps. Optimal route
guidance 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
digital map updated there with a DVD, or you
can update it yourself.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Never leave the engine running in an enclosed
space. The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gases constitutes
a health hazard and could lead to loss of
consciousness or even death.
Carrying out a manual update i
The update process can tak ealong 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
automatically switch off .This protects the
battery. If this occurs, restart the update
with the engine running.
X Insert the DVD:
R
in the single DVD drive (Y page 194)
R in the DVD changer (Y page 194)
COMAND checks whether the digital map
on the DVD is compatible with the
navigation system and system software. Ap
rompt then appears asking if you want
to install the database. Versions of the
database currently installed and the
database that is to be installed are
displayed.
X Select Yes or
No and press
0037to confirm.
After selecting Yes , an activation code
must be entered when installing a database
for the first time. You will receive the
activation code when you buy the
navigation DVD.
If you select No , the process will be
canceled.
X Enter the activation code.
After entering the activation code
correctly, COMAND starts updating the
digital map. Once the update is finished,
you will see a message.
X To confirm the message: press0037the
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
interrupted when the system is restarted.
COMAND may prompt you to change the DVD
during the update.
X Press the 0009(for DVD changer) or
0007 (for single DVD drive) load/eject
button.
X Take the DVD out of the slot.

Problems with the navigation system
Problem Possible causes/consequences and
0005 Solutions
COMAND is unable to
continue route
guidance after the
journey has been
interrupted. Route guidance is canceled if you interrupt the journey for more
than two hours.
"Interrupting the journey" refers to stopping the vehicle.
"Continuing route guidance" refers to switching COMAND back on
and driving on.
X Continue route guidance (Y page 92).Problem Possible causes/consequences and
0005 Solutions
COMAND is unable to
determine the vehicle's
position. COMAND has to redetermine the position of the vehicle if the
vehicle has been transported.
Example:
R
After transporting the vehicle by ferry
R After transporting the vehicle by motorail
R After the vehicle has been towed
X Start the vehicle and pull away.
COMAND determines the vehicle's position. Depending on the
driving situation, this may take some time.
Route guidance may be restricted during the determination of
the vehicle's position.
When positioning is complete, route guidance is resumed with
navigation announcements and route guidance displays. Problems with the navigation system
121Navigation Z

Problem Possible causes/consequences and
0005 Solutions
The
Navigation Unavailable message
appears. COMAND has an integrated hard drive on which the digital map is
stored.
To protect the integrated hard drive against damage, COMAND
deactivates it at very high and low temperatures. The navigation
system will then be temporarily unavailable.
X
Let the vehicle and COMAND cool down.
X To hide the message: switch COMAND off and then on again. If an area of the hard disk has a malfunction, COMAND can no
longer access the map data in this area. This may occur when
calculating a route, for example.
X
To hide the message: switch COMAND off and then on again.
The navigation system will be operational again until it has to
access the faulty area of the hard drive once more. The message
will then reappear.
X Consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Problem Possible causes/consequences and

Using the address book
Introduction
Always pay attention to traffic conditions. Before starting the journey, familiarize
yourself with the address book functions.
Only use COMAND when the road and traffic
conditions permit
.You could otherwise
become involved in an accident in which you
or others could be injured.
The address book organizes and stores
entries that are entered from different
sources (mobile phone, memory card, USB
device, COMAND phone book, navigation
system).
You can use these entries to make telephone
calls and for navigation.
i Number of contacts in the address
book: the address book can store a total of
4000 contacts.
1500 entries each are reserved in the
address book for:
R contacts from the mobile phone
R contacts that you create in COMAND or
import from other sources
The remaining 1,000 entries are assigned
by COMAND as necessary.
i Display of mobile phone contacts:
contacts downloaded from the mobile
phone remain in the address book even if
you disconnect the mobile phone from
COMAND. Contacts that have previously
been available can be displayed as soon as
the mobile phone is reconnected.
COMAND downloads the contacts again so
that any new contacts that have been
added to the mobile phone can be
displayed.
As soon as you connect a new mobile
phone to COMAND all the contacts from
the previous mobile phone are replaced by
those from the new phone's address book.
Address book entries remain stored when
the mobile phone is disconnected. For this
reason, delete your personal data using the
reset function before selling your vehicle,
for example (Y page 47). Using the address book
