USB MERCEDES-BENZ GLC-Class 2016 X253 Comand Manual

The update can only be performed:
Rat an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
Rfor map data for North America
The map software is not provided on DVD.
Carrying out a manual update
After the free update of the map data has
expired or when buying map data, you can
update the data yourself.
The update process may take some time (up
to 45 minutes), depending on the size of the
digital map. 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. In order to prevent this,
a suitable power supply to the vehicle must be
maintained.

Address book
Introduction
Always pay attention to traffic conditions.
Familiarize yourself with the address book
functions before beginning your journey.
You can 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 displays all the contacts
from the various sources (mobile phone,
memory card, USB device, COMAND phone
book, navigation).
You can use the contacts to make telephone
calls, navigate and to write messages.
If a mobile phone is connected to COMAND
and automatic calling up is activated
(
Ypage 130), the mobile phone's contacts
are displayed in the address book. If you dis- connect the mobile phone from COMAND,
these contacts are no longer displayed in the
address book.
When you import, save, edit or add contacts,
they will be saved in COMAND. These con-
tacts will remain there even when you con-
nect COMAND to a different mobile phone.
You can view these contacts even without a
mobile phone.
iThe address book can store a total of
5000 contacts.
R2000 entries are reserved for perma-
nently saved contacts.
R3000 entries are reserved for contacts
that you can load from the mobile phone.
iBefore selling your vehicle, delete the
contacts saved in COMAND using the reset function (
Ypage 48).

(
Ypage 198) with COMAND. Furthermore,
you need a valid mobile service contract with
a data option, which is used to calculate the
associated connection costs.
Conditions for a Bluetooth
®connection
RThe mobile phone supports at least one of
the Bluetooth®profiles DUN ( Dial-U p
Networking) or PAN ( PersonalArea
Network).
The Bluetooth
®profiles DUN and PAN ena-

the USB classes:
-RNDIS ( Remote Network Driver Inter-
face Specification)
-CDC/NCM ( NetworkControl Model)
-CDC/ECM ( Ethernet Control Model)

Setting up an Internet connection
(Canada)
Procedure and general information
If you are using Internet access for the first
time, you must enable the connected mobile
phone for Internet access (
Ypage 147). If the
connected mobile phone supports the Blue-
tooth
®PAN profile or the USB classes RNDIS,
CDC/NCM or CDC/ECM, you do not need to
make additional settings. The Internet con-
nection is established. If the connected
mobile phone does not support the named
Bluetooth
®profile or the named USB classes,
predefined (
Ypage 148) or manual access
data (
Ypage 148) must be set.
While initializing the mobile phone for the
Internet connection, access data which is
already on the mobile phone may be over-
written. You should therefore check the set-
tings on the mobile phone (see the manufac-
turer's operating instructions).

directory itself, the root directory will also be
treated as a folder.
You should observe the following when
assigning track names:
Rtrack names must have at least one char-
acter.
Rtrack names must have an extension of a
supported audio/video format, e.g. mp3,
aac or m4v.
