broadcast 24 hours per day, coast to
coast.
This diverse, satellite-delivered program-
ming is available for a monthly subscrip-
tion fee.
For more information call the SIRIUS Ser-
vice Center, (

Introduction to satellite radioiAdditional satellite radio equipment
and a subscription to satellite radio ser-
vice provider is required for the satel-
lite radio operation described here.

ability of optional equipment required

channel and categories shown in illus-
trations and descriptions contained in
this manual may differ from the chan-
nels and categories delivered by the

iSatellite radio service may be unavail-
able or interrupted from time to time

ronmental or topographic conditions

94 Navigation*Important notesWarning
G
For safety reasons, you should only enter a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger
should enter the destination. Study manual
and select route before driving.
Do not watch display screen or operate but-
tons while the vehicle is in motion- let voice
instructions guide you. Stop at a safe loca-
tion before using buttons or making correc-
tions.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recommendations given.
The route calculated by the MCS is a
recommendation on how to best reach your
selected destination.
During route guidance, you will not receive
any information on
Traffic lights

Stop and yield signs

Parking or stopping zones

One-way streets

Narrow bridges

Similar traffic regulation data
You should therefore always strictly observe
traffic regulations while driving. Drive care-
fully and always obey traffic laws and road
signs even if they contradict the MCS
instructions.
Warning
G
The DVD reader contains a Class 1 laser
product. There is a danger of invisible laser
radiation if the cover is opened or damaged.
Do not remove the cover. The DVD reader
does not contain any parts which can be ser-
viced by the user. For safety reasons, have
any service work which may be necessary
performed only by qualified personnel.
!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.

95 Navigation*
Important notes
Travelling abroad
If you intend to travel through different re-
gions or abroad, you will need the respec-
tive navigation DVD.
Contact your Mercedes-Benz Center or
the Customer Assistance Center at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372)
for available DVDs.
Change the navigation DVD
(page 98).
iThe CD/DVD drive can read navigation
DVDs and playback audio CDs.
If an audio CD is inserted in the CD/
DVD drive and is pressed, the
message MUSIC CD INSERTED
PLEASE REPLACE WITH A NAV-
IGATION DISC is displayed.
Remove the audio CD and insert a
navigation DVD (
page 98).
!GPS (G
lobal P
ositioning S
ystem) sig-
nals received make it possible to deter-
mine the current vehicle position.
Deviations from the actual position
may occur

If the reception of GPS signals is
disturbed, e.g. in parking garages
and tunnels

If road conditions are poor

If your vehicle has been damaged
The MCS may require some time to
find its exact position after your vehi-
cle has been transported by car, train,
or ferry. Moving the vehicle a few yards
is typically enough to remedy this situ-
ation.
