WARNING
Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic con-
ditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con-
ditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe
location and make entries only while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving when operating COMAND Online.
COMAND Online calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the fol- lowing, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R road narrowing
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND Online may give incorrect driving
recommendations if the data on the digital
map does not correspond to the actual con-
ditions. For example, a route may have been diverted or the direction of a one-way street
may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only 50 km/ h,
your vehicle covers a distance of nearly 14 m
per second. Declarations of conformity

The address entry menu appears.
Observe the information relating to destina-
tion entry (Y page 326). SPLITVIEW
Operation SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND Online functions on the
front-passenger side and on the driver's side.
Different content is seen depending on your
perspective when viewing the display.
The "Navi" function, for example, can be used
from the driver's side while a video is watched from the front-passenger side.
SPLITVIEW is operated with the remote con-
trol from the front-passenger side.
To do so, use the cordless headphones. Using
the headphones on the correct sides ensures
an optimal sound.
You can connect your own headphones to a
special headphones jack. You can use the
remote control to operate them.
Points to remember R
You can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the head-
phones.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV, video and Internet, for example, may be
used with SPLITVIEW. R
Different media can be used on the driver
and front-passenger sides as long as they
use different media sources. Example: if a
medium from the DVD changer is being
played on the driver's side, then another
medium that is also played from the DVD
changer cannot be played separately on
the front-passenger side. However, other
media can be used at the same time on the
front-passenger side, including radio,
memory card, MUSIC REGISTER, Media
Interface, USB or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings.
R Internet use is only available at any one
time to the driver or the front passenger.
A corresponding message appears on the
display.
R Internet can only be used, if it is set and
connected via a telephone on the driver's
side.
R The multifunction steering wheel can only
be used for functions which relate to the
driver's side.

Introduction
The digital maps generated by the map soft-
ware become outdated in the same way as
conventional road maps. Optimal route guid-
ance can only be provided by the navigation
system in conjunction with the most up-to-
date map software.
Information about new versions of the digital map can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. You can have the digital mapupdated there with a DVD, or you can update
it yourself.
In some countries, it is possible to update the map data for COMAND Online free of charge
for a period of 3 years. Information on the
availability of this service for your vehicle can be obtained from your Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre. If the free update is not available
in your country, please read the "Updating
process" section.
Entitlement to the free update
For the first three years after your vehicle is
registered, you are entitled to all available
updates to the map software for
COMAND Online. They are usually installed
during a regular vehicle service. After this
period, you can purchase further updates
from your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The free updates relate to the vehicle and not
to an individual. If there is a change of own-
ership within 3 years of first registration, the
new owner is entitled to the map software
updates.
Availability of free updates
Enter your e-mail address at http://
www.mercedes-benz-accessories.com/
comand-infomail. You will receive a one-off e- mail containing information on how to updatethe map software. Please also visit http://
www.mercedes-benz-accessories.com/
navigation-updates to find out if map soft- ware updates for your vehicle are available at
your Mercedes-Benz partner.
Updating at the Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre
If an update for your map software is availa-
ble, you will receive it free of charge at your
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre during your
vehicle's annual service. You can arrange a
separate appointment for this at your
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre on request.
The update is performed only by a Mercedes- Benz Service Centre for European map data.
The map software is not provided on a data
medium.
Carrying out the update yourself
i The update process may take some time
(over an hour), depending on the size of the
digital map. During this time, you will only
be able to switch on radio mode and to
accept incoming calls. The update will be
completed more quickly if the vehicle is
stationary.
If you start the update with the engine
switched off and the starter battery has
insufficient power, COMAND Online may
automatically switch off. This preserves the battery. If this occurs, restart the update
with the engine running.
