Safety notes
G
Risk of accident
For safety reasons, only enter a new destina-
tion when the vehicle is stationary. You may
otherwise be distracted from the traffic con-
ditions, cause an accident and injure yourself
and others.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R lane narrowing
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND may give incorrect driving recom-
mendations if the data on the digital map does
not correspond to the actual conditions. 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 the
respective road and traffic rules and regula-
tions during your journey. Road and traffic
rules and regulations always have priority
over system driving recommendations. 78

General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system After delivery of the vehicle
In vehicles for certain countries, the naviga-
tion system is not operational immediately
after delivery because the map software is
not pre-installed there.
If this is the case, the following message
appears in the display when you press the
0015 function button to switch to navigation
mode: Please insert the map DVD to
activate navigation.
X To install the map software: proceed as
described in the "Update process" section
(Y page 91).
i Please note that in this case, the update
must be allowed to run to the end. If you
cancel the update, the navigation system
will continue to be non-operational.
After updating the system software
After a system software update at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, the installed
map software may no longer be compatible.
If this is the case, the navigation system will
not be operational.
X To update the map software: proceed as
described in the "Update process" section
(Y page 91). Use map software which is
compatible with the system software.
i Please note that in this case, the update
must be allowed to run to the end. If you
cancel it, the navigation system will con-
tinue to be non-operational.
The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
wheneve roperational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible. GPS reception Amongst other things, correct functioning of
the navigation system depends on GPS recep-
tion
.Inc ertain situations, GPS reception may
be impaired, there may be interference or
there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tun-
nels or multi-storey car parks.
Route guidance after vehicle transpor-
tation COMAND has to redetermine the position of
the vehicle if the vehicle has been transported
(e.g. by ferry, by motorail or after towing).
The position is determined automatically
when the vehicle pulls away again, even if
COMAND is switched off. The duration will
vary from one situation to another.
Route guidance may be restricted as follows
during vehicle positioning:
R navigation announcements, route guid-
ance displays and displayed street names
are not consisten twith the actual location
of the vehicle.
R COMAND does not generate navigation
announcements.
R instead of the route guidance displays, you
see the Off road display and a directional
arrow. The direction arrow shows the com-
pass heading to the destination.
When positioning is complete ,route guidance
is resumed with navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
Interrupting the journey during route
guidance The following applies if you interrupt the jour-
ney during route guidance and continue the
journey later on:
R
COMAND resumes route guidance auto-
matically if you continue the journey within
two hours.
R route guidance is cancelled if you continue
the journey after more than two hours. It Navigation system (introduction)

will be necessary to resum
ethe cancelled
route guidance manually (Y page 119).
i Interrupting the journey means parking
the vehicle and switching off COMAND.
Continuing the journey means switching
COMAND on again and driving on.
Hard disk COMAND has an integrated hard disk on
which the map software is stored.
If an area of the hard disk has a fault,
COMAND can no longer access the map data
in this area, for example when calculating a
route.
The Navigation unavailable message
then appears.
X To hide the message: switch COMAND off
and then on again.
i If you switch the navigation system off/
on, it will be operational again until it has
to access the faulty area of the hard disk
again. The message will then reappear.
Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Units of measurement The units of measurement displayed in navi-
gation mode are identical to those set in the
instrument cluster. Input restriction
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a
restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active above a vehicle speed
of about 5 km/h. The restriction is deactiva-
ted as soon as the vehicle speed drops below
about 3 km/h.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. You will be aware of this
because certain menu items are greyed out
and cannot, therefore, be selected. The following entries may not be possible, for
example:
R
entering the destination town and street
R entering the destination via the map and
the map moving function
R entering in the vicinity of a town or via a
name search
R editing entries
R direct entry using the number keypad
Other entries are possible, such as entering
special destinations in the vicinity of the des-
tination or current position. 80
