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
Requirements
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 131).
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.

Avoiding an area
General notes
The multimedia system enables you to avoid
areas you do not wish to drive through.
If you activate or deactivate a route block while
route guidance is active, the multimedia system
will calculate a new route. If you activate or deactivate a route block while route guidance is
inactive, the multimedia system will use the new setting for the next route guidance.
The calculated route may include an area to be
avoided if:
Ryour destination is located in such an area
Rthere is no alternative route available
Highways within blocked areas are always taken
into consideration in the route calculation.

Updating the digital map
Introduction
The digital maps generated by the map software
become outdated in the same way as conven-
tional road maps. Optimal route guidance can
only be provided by the navigation system in
conjunction with the most up-to-date map soft-
ware.
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 using a data medium, or you
can update it yourself.
Carrying out a manual update
You can carry out the update 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 begin the
update while the vehicle is stationary and the
starter battery has insufficient power, the mul-
timedia system may switch off automatically.
This protects the battery. In order to prevent
this, a suitable power supply to the vehicle must
be maintained.
