We hope you enjoy your new
Mercedes-Benz Universal Media
Interface!
Congratulations on your new
Universal Media Interface.

Media Interface to the full and help you to
avoid dangers to you and others.
Mercedes-Benz continuously adapts its
Universal Media Interface to the state of
the art and therefore reserves the right to
make changes in design, equipment and
technology. You cannot, therefore, base
any claims on the data, illustrations or de-
scriptions contained in these Operating In-
structions.
Any authorised Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre will be happy to assist you at any
time.

GRisk of accident
Devote your attention to the road and traffic
situation. Only use the Universal Media Inter-
face or connected devices (iPod, mp3 player,
mobile phone, other audio devices) if the traf-
fic situation permits. Operating the Universal
Media Interface or the connected devices will
distract you from the road and traffic situa-
tion and you could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.

System overview
The Universal Media
Interface includes a
map navigation system
for Europe.
For information on op-
eration, see page 31
onwards.
The iPod® interface en-
ables playback of au-
dio files that are stored
on the iPod®. Here, the
iPod® can be control-
led conveniently via
the vehicle controls.
For information on op-
eration, see page 41
onwards.
The mp3 player plays
audio files in the mp3
format that are located
on a mass storage de-
vice connected to the
USB interface.
For information on op-
eration, see page 47
onwards.
The audio streaming
function enables play-
back of audio files by
means of a paired,
compatible Bluetooth®
audio streaming device
(e.g. mobile phone).
For information on op-
eration, see page 49
onwards.
Audio devices can be
connected to the AUX
interface with 3.5-mm
jack plugs (e.g. head-
phones output of com-
mercially available
players).
They are operated on
the audio device.

*optional
Map software
The digital maps generated by the map
software become outdated in the same
way as conventional road maps. Optimum
route guidance can only be provided by the
navigation system in conjunction with the
most up-to-date map software. Informa-
tion about new map software versions can
be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
Information via satellite signals
The navigation system must receive satel-
lite signals for route guidance. The system
may not be able to acquire satellite signals
inside multi-storey car parks or in the vicin-
ity of tall buildings or trees.
Operation
Turn
ymz
or slide
omp
to change a selection.
Press n to confirm a selection you have
made.
Press the L button to switch into the
next-highest menu level.
Switching on the navigation system
1. For information on switching on the
audio system, please refer to the audio
system operating instructions.
2. Press and hold the ì button.
GRisk of accident
For safety reasons, only enter a destination
when the vehicle is stationary. Otherwise,
you could be distracted from the road and
traffic situation and cause an accident in
which you and/or others could be injured.
The Universal Media Interface calculates
route guidance to the destination without
taking account of e.g.:
• Traffic lights
• Stop and give way signs
• Parking or stopping prohibited signs
• Lane narrowing
• Other road and traffic controls and regula-
tions
The Universal Media Interface may give incor-
rect driving recommendations if the actual
road situation differs from the data on the
digital map. For example, if the traffic routing
has been changed or the direction of a one-
way road has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe ap-
plicable road and traffic controls and regula-
tions during your journey. Road and traffic
controls and regulations always have priority
over the system's navigation commands.
Note
When the navigation system is switched
on, no additional information is shown
on the display.
When using the hands-free function for
the mobile phone via the Bluetooth® in-
terface or comfort telephony*, bear in
mind that incoming calls are displayed
exclusively in the multifunction display.
Depending on the audio system and tel-
ephone settings, you will hear an addi-
tional signal tone. (Please refer to the
audio system operating instructions and
the installation instructions for the mo-
bile phone cradle.)

Displaying traffic obstructions
1. Select TMC in the navigation menu.
When route guidance is active, a
route-related list of all traffic obstruc-
tions on the remaining part of the
route is displayed.
With route guidance inactive, a list of
all reported traffic obstructions is dis-
played.
2. Select a traffic obstruction from the
list.
Further details are displayed.
Detouring around other traffic
obstructions
If there is a traffic obstruction on the cur-
rent route for which there is no TMC traffic
message, the route can be blocked manu-
ally. The Universal Media Interface calcu-
lates a new route to drive around the traffic
obstruction.
1. Select Navi in the navigation menu.
2. Select Detour.
3. Select Less and More to set the
length of the block.
4. Select Start.
The Universal Media Interface calcu-
lates an alternative route.
You can receive traffic information using
the TMC traffic radio receiver. If there are
TMC traffic messages, coloured arrows are
displayed along the course of the traffic
jam:
• Yellow arrows: slow-moving traffic.
• Red arrows: stop-and-go or stopped
traffic.
Note
A TMC radio station transmits free-of-
charge TMC traffic reports in addition to
the radio programme. The TMC traffic ra-
dio receiver can receive current TMC
traffic reports and take them into consid-
eration for dynamic route guidance. The
navigation system is thus able to re-
route around a traffic jam, for example.
There may be differences between the
reports received and the actual traffic
situation.
Notes
With Navi Mode Attend TMC
activated, traffic obstructions reported
via the TMC traffic radio receiver are
avoided automatically.
