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ware become outdated in the same way as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 this occurs, restart the update with the
engine running.
X Insert the DVD:
R
in the single DVD drive (Y page 188)
R in the DVD changer (Y page 188)
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
Yes orNo 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 inter-
rupted when the system is restarted.
COMAND may prompt you to change the DVD
during the update.
X Press the 0065(for DVD changer) or
0062 (for single DVD drive) load/eject but-
ton.
X Take the DVD out of the slot.
X Insert the requested DVD.
Once the update has been successfully
completed, you will see a message to this
effect.
X To confirm the message: press0098the
COMAND controller.
X Take the DVD out of the slot.
The update is complete.
If the update is not successfully completed,
you will see a message that the map update
is not possible.
X To confirm the message: press0098the
COMAND controller.

0050Solutions COMAND is unable to
continue route guid-
ance 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

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.

phone is required.
On COMAND
X Activate the Bluetooth ®
function in
COMAND (Y page 45).
On the mobile phone
X Switch on the mobile phone and enter the
PIN when prompted to do so (see the
mobile phone operating instructions).
X Activate Bluetooth ®

The battery of the mobile phone should
always be kept sufficiently charged in order
to prevent malfunctions.
In preparation for telephoning via the Blue-
tooth ®

(see the mobile phone operating instruc-
tions). Telephony via the Bluetooth
®
interface 125Telephone Z

This visibility is for restricted periods of
time on some mobile phones.
R Bluetooth ®
device name
Every Bluetooth ®
device has its own Blue-
tooth ®
device name. This device name is
freely definable, but can be identical for all
devices from the same manufacturer. It is
therefore recommended that you change
this name so that you can easily recognize
your mobile phone (see the mobile phone
operating instructions).
i Not all mobile phones available on the
market are equally suitable. You can obtain
more detailed information about suitable
mobile phones and about connecting Blue-
