MCS calculates the route with the help
of data stored on the navigation DVD.
Only use Mercedes-Benz navigation
DVDs. Using other navigation DVDs
might lead to malfunctions.
Because of changes in local traffic pat-
terns (e.g. road work) and/or incom-
plete data, errors in calculation may
occur.
As a result, the recommended route
may deviate from the ideal route. The
data stored on the DVD only reflects lo-
cal conditions at the time of produc-
tion. DVD maps do not cover all areas
nor all routes within an area.
