Route guidance from an off-map loca-tion to a destinationIf the vehicle position is outside the area cov-ered by the digital map, then the vehicle is inan off-map location. COMAND is also able toguide you to a destination even from an off-map location.At the start of the route guidance, you will seethe Off road message, an arrow and the dis-tance to the destination. The arrow shows thecompass heading to the road left last.The route is highlighted blue from the nearestroad known to the system.As soon as the vehicle is back on a roadknown to the system, route guidance contin-ues in the usual way.Off-road during route guidanceDue to roadworks, for example, there may bedifferences between the data on the digitalmap and the actual course of the road.In such cases, the system will temporarily beunable to locate the vehicle position on thedigital map and thus considers the vehicle tobe in an off-road position.In the display, you will see the Off road mes-sage, an arrow and the distance to the desti-nation. The arrow shows the compass head-ing to the last road you were driving on.As soon as the system can assign the vehicleposition to the map again, route guidancecontinues in the usual way.Dynamic route guidanceIntroductionAn RDS-TMC radio station transmits RDS-TMC traffic reports in addition to the radioprogramme. COMAND can receive the RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them into con-sideration for dynamic (traffic-dependent)route guidance. The navigation system can,for example, guide you around a traffic jam.In Germany, COMAND uses the high-qualitytraffic data from T-systems Traffic for theTMCPro traffic jam warning system. In con-trast to the public TMC service, TMCPro usesexclusive traffic data that is detected with anautomated sensor network, in addition to themessages generated by the TMC service. Thetraffic data received from the traffic jam warn-ing services named above could differ.There may also be differences between thetraffic reports received and the actual roadand traffic conditions.The respective traffic data being receivedappears at the bottom right of the display withthe symbols "TMCPro" or "TMC". If there is noreception, no symbol is displayed.Switching dynamic route guidanceon/offXTo switch on: set Dynamic route as theroute type6(Y page 52).XTo switch off: select the Fast route orShort route route type (Y page 52).iCOMAND calculates a new route if youchange the route type setting with routeguidance active. If you change the routetype setting when route guidance is inac-tive, COMAND uses the new setting for thenext route guidance.RDS-TMC displays on the mapCOMAND can show certain traffic incidentson the map. These displays can be seen onmap scales 50 m (0.05 miles) to 20 km(20 miles).XTo set the map scale: turn cVd theCOMAND controller until the desired mapscale is set.Turning clockwise zooms out from the map;turning anti-clockwise zooms in.6RDS-TMC is not available in all countries.88 Dynamic route guidanceNavigation system

Updating the digital mapIntroductionThe digital maps generated by the map soft-ware become outdated in the same way asconventional road maps. Optimal route guid-ance can only be provided by the navigationsystem in conjunction with the most up-to-date map software.Information about new versions of the digitalmap can be obtained from a Mercedes-BenzService Centre. You can have the digital mapupdated there with a DVD, or you can updateit yourself.iThe update process can take a long time(over an hour), depending on the size of thedigital map. During this time, you will onlybe able to switch on radio mode and toaccept incoming calls. The update will becompleted more quickly if the vehicle isstationary.If you carry out the update with the engineswitched off and the starter battery hasinsufficient power, COMAND may automat-ically switch off during the process in orderto protect the battery. If this occurs, restartthe update with the engine running.GRisk of poisoningNever run the engine in an enclosed space.The exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbonmonoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes is hazard-ous to your health and can lead to loss of con-sciousness and death.Updating processXDepending on your vehicle's equipment,insert the DVD into the DVD single drive(Y page 193) or the DVD changer(Y page 193).COMAND checks whether the digital mapon the DVD is compatible with the naviga-tion system and system software.A prompt then appears asking if you wantto install the database. Versions of thedatabase currently installed and the data-base that is to be installed are displayed.XSelect Yes or No and press W to confirm.After selecting Yes, an activation codemust be entered when installing a databasefor the first time. You will receive the acti-vation code when you buy the navigationDVD.If you select No, the process will be aborted.XEnter the activation code.After entering the activation code cor-rectly, COMAND starts updating the digitalmap. Once the update is finished, you willsee a message.XTo confirm the message: press W theCOMAND controller.XTake the DVD out of the slot.While the update is running, you will see amessage to this effect and a progress bar. Thenavigation system is not operational until theupdate is complete.iYou cannot eject the DVD during theupdate. If you switch off COMAND duringthe update, the update is interrupted.

Problems with the navigation systemProblem Possible causes/consequences and M SolutionsCOMAND is unable tocontinue route guid-ance after the journeyhas been interrupted.Route guidance is cancelled if you interrupt the journey for morethan two hours."Interrupting the journey" refers to stopping the vehicle."Continuing route guidance" refers to switching COMAND back onand driving on.XContinue route guidance (Y page 81).Problem Possible causes/consequences and M SolutionsCOMAND is unable todetermine the vehicle'sposition.COMAND has to redetermine the position of the vehicle if thevehicle has been transported (e.g. by ferry, by motorail or aftertowing).XStart the vehicle and pull away.COMAND determines the vehicle's position. Depending on thedriving situation, this may take some time.Route guidance may be restricted during the determination ofthe vehicle's position.When positioning is complete, route guidance is resumed withnavigation announcements and route guidance displays.Problem Possible causes/consequences and M SolutionsThe Navigation unavailable messageappears.COMAND has an integrated hard drive on which the digital map isstored.To protect the integrated hard drive against damage, COMANDdeactivates it at very high and low temperatures. The navigationsystem will then be temporarily unavailable.XLet the vehicle and COMAND cool down.XTo hide the message: switch COMAND off and then on again.If an area of the hard disk has a fault, COMAND can no longeraccess the map data in this area, for example when calculating aroute.XTo hide the message: switch COMAND off and then on again.The navigation system will be operational again until it has toaccess the faulty area of the hard drive once more.
