Breathing in exhaust fumes is a health hazard and can lead to unconsciousness or death. X Installing new map software The digital data generated by the map software becomes outdated in the same way as conventional road maps. Optimal route guidance can only be provided by the navigation system in conjunction with the most up-to-date map software. Information about new map software versions can be obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. You can install new map software yourself using one or more DVDs, depending on the size. The installation process can take between 10 and 120 minutes depending on the size of the map software. If radio mode is selected before you start the installation process, you can still adjust the volume. It is also still possible to operate the automatic climate control and cancel the process on COMAND. Other functions are not operational. If possible, carry out the installation process when the vehicle is stationary. This takes less time, since the DVD read speed is higher when the vehicle is stationary than when it is in motion. If the starter battery is not sufficiently charged, COMAND may end the process automatically in order to preserve the battery. Therefore, keep the engine running during the installation process. Notes on handling DVDs ROnly touch the edges of DVDs. RHandle DVDs carefully to avoid read errors. RAvoid scratching DVDs or getting fingerprints or dust on them. RUse a conventional cleaning cloth to clean DVDs. Never wipe in a circle, but instead in straight lines from the inside to the outside. RPlace DVDs back in their cases after use. RDo not expose DVDs to heat or direct sunlight. Map software copy protection Map software for COMAND is subject to a fee. Map software can only be used on one vehicle with an activation code and is not transferable. The six-digit activation code is available at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Contact your authorized MercedesBenz Center if you lose the activation code or if COMAND does not accept the code that you received. Your vehicle is delivered from the factory with map software.
