jam, for example. If a quicker route is deter-
mined due to a received RDS-TMC traffic
announcement, the navigation system

blockages.
R Short route: COMAND calculates a route
with the shortest possible (minimised) dis-
tance regarding distance and driving time.
X Select NaviQMode:
The mode list appears.
The current setting is indicated by a #dot.
X To make a setting: selectFastest

i COMAND calculates a new route if you
change the route type setting with route
guidance active. If you change the route
type setting when route guidance is inac-
tive, COMAND uses the new setting for the
next route guidance.
Setting route options This function allows you to set the following
options for route guidance:
R Avoid motorways
R Avoid toll roads
R Avoid routes requiring special
toll sticker
R Avoid tunnels
R Avoid ferries

depending on the previous status. X
To exit the menu: slideXVY.
COMAND will verify whether it can imple-
ment the options if you have selected them
with route guidance active. If it can,
COMAND calculates a new route while
implementing the options selected. If it
cannot, you will see and hear a correspond-
ing message.
X Select OK.
COMAND calculates a new route. Only
those options which can be implemented
are considered. Installing map software
The digital maps generated by the map soft-
ware become outdated in the same way as
conventional road maps. Optimum route
guidance can only be provided by the naviga-
tion system in conjunction with the most up-
to-date map software. Information about new
map software versions can be obtained from
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
You can install new map software, which may
consist of one of more DVDs (depending on
the scope), yourself.
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 the automatic air-
conditioning system and to cancel the proc-
ess. Other functions are not operational. If
possible, carry out the installation process
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 suffi-
ciently charged, COMAND may end the proc-
ess automatically, in order to protect the bat-
tery. Therefore, let the engine idle during the
installation process. 132

While route calculation is in progress, an
arrow will indicate the direction to your
destination. Below this, you will see a cor-
responding message in the display. Once
the route has been calculated, route guid-
ance begins.
Route calculation takes a certain amount
of time. The time depends on the distance
from the destination, for example. COMAND
calculates the route using the digital map
data. The calculated route may differ from the

Navigation* (route guidance with
RDS-TMC) Introduction to RDS-TMC
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits free-of-
charge RDS-TMC traffic reports in addition to
the radio programme. COMAND can receive
the RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them
into consideration for dynamic route guid-
ance. Thus, for example, the navigation sys-
tem can guide you around a traffic jam.
In Germany, COMAND uses top-quality traffic
data provided by T-Systems Traffic for the
TMCpro traffic jam warning service. This
information is available nationwide and 24
hours a day. In contrast to the public TMC
service, TMCpro uses reports from public
sources. Moreover, TMCpro utilises exclusive
data from its own automated sensor network
for monitoring traffic conditions. The traffic
announcements which are read over public
radio stations (TA) may differ from TMCpro
traffic announcements. Dynamic route guidance
The Dynamic route is the same type of route
as the Fast route. In addition, COMAND
takes RDS-TMC traffic announcements that
have been received into consideration 23
when calculating the route for dynamic route
guidance. If a quicker route is determined due
to reception of an RDS-TMC traffic announce-
ment, the navigation system changes the
route. If possible, it will bypass blockages.
X To switch on: setDynamic route as the
route type 23
.
Proceed as described in the "Setting the
route type" section (Y page 131).
X To switch off: select a different route type.
i COMAND calculates a new route if you
change the route type setting with route
guidance active. If you change the route
type setting when route guidance is inac- tive, COMAND uses the new setting for the
next route guidance.
If TMCpro is received, this is indicated by the
TMCpro symbol at the lower right in the dis-
play.
If a public TMC service is received, the TMC
symbol appears at the lower right in the dis-
play.
If RDS-TMC reception is not possible, no sym-
bol will appear. RDS-TMC displays on the map
COMAND can show certain traffic incidents
on the map. These displays can be seen on
map scales 50 m (0.05 miles) to 50 km (50
miles).
X To set the map scale: turncVduntil the
desired map scale is set.
Turning clockwise enlarges the map, turn-
ing anti-clockwise reduces the map. Example display of a traffic jam on the route
:

i The name of the town and of the street in
the address book entry must be spelled in
the same way as in the destination entry so
that the information matches the data on
the digital map. The country in the address
book can be written as follows so that it
matches the data on the digital map:
R Country name spelled in the language of
that country
R Country name spelled in the language set
as the system language
R Country name as an international coun-
try abbreviation for vehicles (e.g. D for Germany, E for Spain, F for France, I for
Italy, etc.)
X COMAND stores the entry as My address
in the destination memory if the address
data is complete and matches the digital
map data.
If address data is missing or if it does not
match the data on the digital map, a mes-
sage will be displayed informing you that
the address is incomplete.
X To close the message: selectOK.
Depending on which data is missing or does
not correspond with the digital map data, you
must now:
R select a country (Y page 136)
R enter a town (Y page 136)
R enter a street (Y page 138)
R enter a house number (Y page 140)
If the data is complete and it matches the
digital map data, COMAND stores the entry. Storing a destination in the destina-
tion memory
This function also stores the destination in
the address book. COMAND creates an
address book entry that contains the com-
plete, navigable address data. You can then
