Importing personal POIs and routes
via Mercedes-Benz Apps
You can use Mercedes-Benz Apps (e.g. Down-
load POI) to import destinations to the naviga-
tion system. These have their own symbol and
are filed in theMercedes-Benz Apps
category.
You can save the imported destinations and
routes as personal POIs and routes (
Ypage 68).
When importing routes, please note:
RThe Mercedes-Benz Apps may generate a
route based on a different map from the one
used by the multimedia system. Points on the
route may therefore be situated off the digital
roads.
RThe Mercedes-Benz Apps minimize the num-
ber of route points offered.
For this reason an imported route com-
menced in the multimedia system may devi-
ate from the original route from the
Mercedes-Benz Apps.

Recording the route
General notes
When recording the route, bear in mind the fol-
lowing:
RIf the SD memory card is inserted, it must not
be removed during recording
RIf route recording is started manually, it must
be finished manually before the multimedia
system is switched off
RThe multimedia system minimizes the num-
ber of route points recorded. Therefore when
the recorded route is subsequently com-
menced, it may differ from the route that was
originally recorded.

Route guidance
General notes
Always observe the traffic regulations when
driving. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over system driving recom-
mendations.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rtemporary traffic rules and regulations
The multimedia system may give differing navi-
gation commands if the actual street/traffic sit-
uation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. For example, if the road layout or
the direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 58).
The multimedia system guides you to your des-
tination by means of navigation announcements
in the form of audible navigation announce-
ments and route guidance displays.
Navigation messages guide you during the jour-
ney without distracting you from traffic condi-
tions or driving. Please always use this feature
instead of consulting the map display for direc- tions. The symbols or the map display could dis-
tract you from traffic conditions and driving.
The route guidance displays can be seen if nav-
igation mode is switched on.
If you do not follow the navigation announce-
ments or if you leave the calculated route, the
multimedia system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
RDuring route guidance, the multimedia sys-
tem tries to avoid roads with restricted
access. These include, for example, roads
which are closed to through-traffic.
RRoads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed
on Sundays and public holidays) are consid-
ered for route guidance on days when they are
open. For this purpose, the relevant times
must be correctly stored in the database.
Change of direction
Overview
Changes of direction have three phases:
RPreparation phase
RAnnouncement phase
RChange-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the mul-
tifunction display of the instrument cluster (see
the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase
The multimedia system prepares you for the
upcoming driving maneuver, e.g. with the
announcement "Prepare to turn right". You see
the full-screen map.

Off-road
General notes
The multimedia system may guide you to off-
road routes that your vehicle cannot drive on
without causing damage to the tires and wheels,
or the vehicle itself. It is the driver’s sole respon-
sibility to determine the suitability of the route.
The state and navigability of off-road routes may
be influenced, for example, by factors such as
time of day, time of year and current weather
conditions. The multimedia system cannot judge these factors or take them into account
for route guidance.
Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion
The multimedia system can guide you to desti-
nations which are within the area of the digital
map, but which are not themselves on the map.
These destinations are known as off-road des-
tinations, which you can enter using the map, for
example. In these cases, the multimedia system
guides you for as long as possible with naviga-
tion announcements and displays on roads
known to the system.
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, an arrow appears that
points to the off-road destination. You hear the
announcement: "Please follow the arrow on the
display". As the vehicle approaches the desti-
nation, you will see a display to this effect.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination
Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on the
digital map, but the map does not contain any
information about that location. The multimedia
system is able to guide you to a destination even
from an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Road Not Mapped
message, an arrow and the
distance to the destination. The arrow shows
the compass heading to the actual destination.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known
to the system, route guidance continues in the
usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
Due to road construction, for example, there
may be differences between the data on the
digital map and the actual course of the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the dig-
ital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off-road
position.
In the display, you will then see the Road Not
Mappedmessage, an arrow and the distance to
the destination. The direction arrow shows the
compass heading to the destination.

As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance con-
tinues in the usual way.
Real-time traffic reports
Prerequisites
In order to receive real-time traffic reports via
satellite radio, you need to subscribe to SIRIUS
XM Satellite Radio Traffic Message Service.
Further information on satellite radio
(
Ypage 143).
The multimedia system can receive traffic
reports via satellite radio and take account of
these for route guidance in the navigation sys-
tem. Received traffic reports are displayed on
the map either as text or as symbols.
Real-time traffic reports on the map
Traffic reports are shown on the map with sym-
bols and colored lines. The symbols indicate the
type of traffic report and the colored lines show
the extent of the area affected by the traffic
incident. The symbols are shown in map scales
from 1/32 miles (20 m) to 10 miles (10 km).
When :is displayed, traffic reports can be
received or traffic reports are available. If it is
not displayed, no reception is possible.
XTo hide the menu: slide 5and press the
controller.
The map can be seen in the full-screen dis-
play.
XTo set the map scale: turn the controller until the desired map scale is selected.

sages on the map.
