132 NavigationImportant notes
Travelling abroad
If you intend to travel through different re-
gions or abroad, you will need the respec-
tive navigation CD.
Contact your Mercedes-Benz Center or
the Customer Assistance Center at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372)
for available CDs.

(page 137).
!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 bad

depending on the vehicle’s conditi-
on
If the reception of the GPS signal is un-
available, you will have to manually en-
ter the current vehicle position
(page 198).
If your vehicle has been transported by
a car, train or ferry, COMAND needs
some time to find its exact position.
Moving the vehicle a few yards is typi-
cally enough to remedy this situation.
