Operating safety
Important safety notes
WARNING
G
If you operate information systems and communication equipment integrated in the vehicle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equipment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must comply with the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating the multimedia system.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R
traffic lights
R
stop and yield signs
R
merging lanes
R
parking or stopping in a no parking/no stopping zone
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
R
narrow bridges
The multimedia system can give incorrect navigation commands if the actual street/traffic situation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. Digital maps do not cover all areas
nor all routes in an area. For example, a route
may have been diverted or the direction of a oneway 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 regulations
always have priority over the system's driving
recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of consulting the map display for directions. Looking
at the icons or map display can distract you from
traffic conditions and driving, and increase the
risk of an accident.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h) your vehicle covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) per
second.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
This equipment has very low levels of RF energy
that is deemed to comply without maximum
permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is
desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 8inches (20 cm) and more
between the radiator and a person's body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and
legs.)
WARNING
G
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other networked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as intended and/or jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as electronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and electronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle electronics, the general operating permit is rendered invalid.

the safety notes in this manual
R
traffic rules and regulations
R
laws and safety standards pertaining to motor

Using roof carriers may impair the correct functioning of a roof antenna (phone, satellite radio,
GPS).
Attaching metalized retrofit film to the windshield may affect radio reception. This can have
a negative impact on all other antennas (e.g.
emergency call antenna) in the vehicle interior.
Protection against theft: this device is equipped with technical provisions to protect it
against theft. Further information on protection
thef
against
t can be obtained from an author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Qualified specialist workshop
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual.
Function restrictions
For safety reasons, some functions are restricted or unavailable while the vehicle is in motion.
You will notice this, for example, because either
you will not be able to select certain menu items
or a message will appear to this effect.
Data stored in the vehicle
Data recording
A wide range of electronic components in your
vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or permanently store technical information about:
R
the vehicle's operating state
R
events
R
malfunctions
In general, this technical information documents the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
R
operating conditions of system components,
e.g. fluid levels
R
the vehicle's status messages and those of its
individual components, e.g. number of wheel
revolutions/speed, deceleration in movement, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal
position
R
malfunctions and defects in important system
components, e.g. lights, brakes
R
vehicle reactions and operating conditions in
special driving situations, e.g. air bag deployment, intervention of stability control systems
R
ambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature
Z
Introduction
16
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
R
assist in detecting and rectifying malfunctions and defects
R
analyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an accident
R
optimize vehicle function
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical information can be read from the event data memory
and malfunction data memory.
Services include, for example:
R
repair services
R
service processes
R
warranty events
R
quality assurance
The vehicle is read out by employees of the service network (including the manufacturer) using
special diagnostic testers. You can obtain more
information there, if required.
After a malfunction has been rectified, the information is deleted from the malfunction memory
or is continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are conceivable in which this technical data, in connection with other information (if necessary, after
consultation with an authorized expert), could
be traced to a person.
Examples include:
R
accident reports
R
damage to the vehicle
R
witness statements
Further additional functions that have been contractually agreed upon with the customer allow
certain vehicle data to be conveyed by the vehicle as well. The additional functions include, for
example, vehicle location in case of an emergency.
COMAND/mbrace
If the vehicle is equipped with COMAND or
mbrace, additional data about the vehicle’s
operation, the use of the vehicle in certain situations, and the location of the vehicle may be
compiled through COMAND or the mbrace system.
For additional information please refer to the
COMAND User Manual and/or the mbrace
Terms and Conditions.
Event data recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record data that will assist in understanding
how a vehicle’s systems performed in certain
crash or near crash-like situations, such as during air bag deployment or when hitting a road
obstacle. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
R
how various systems in your vehicle are operating
R
whether or not the driver and passenger seat
belts are fastened
R
how far (if at all) the driver is depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal and
R
how fast the vehicle is traveling
This data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, can combine the EDR data with
the type of personal identification data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or
the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties that have the special equipment, such as law enforcement, can
read the information by accessing the vehicle or
the EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminal matters as a tool in accident reconstruction, accident claims, and vehicle safety. Since the Crash
Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract
data from the EDR is commercially available,
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC ("MBUSA") expressly
disclaims any and all liability arising from the
extraction of this information by unauthorized
Mercedes-Benz personnel.
MBUSA will not share EDR data with others
without the consent of the vehicle owners or, if
the vehicle is leased, without the consent of the
lessee. Exceptions to this representation
include responses to subpoenas by law enforcement; by federal, state or local government; in
connection with or arising out of litigation involving MBUSA or its subsidiaries and affiliates; or,
as required by law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of the Supplemental Restraint System ("SRS") Module.
Tampering with, altering, modifying or removing
the EDR component may result in a malfunction
of the SRS Module and other systems.
State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that
conflict with federal regulation are pre-empted.
This means that in the event of such conflict, the
federal regulation governs. As of February 2013,
13 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.

Your multimedia system equipment
These operating instructions describe all the
standard and optional equipment of your multimedia system, as available at the time of going
to press. Country-specific differences are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not
feature all functions described here. This also
applies to safety-relevant systems and functions.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual.
Introduction
Important safety notes
Navigation
WARNING
G
If you operate information systems and communication equipment integrated in the vehicle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equipment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the multimedia system.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking the following into
account, for example:
R
traffic lights
R
stop and yield signs
R
merging lanes
R
parking or stopping in a no parking/no stopping zone
R
other road and traffic rules and regulations
R
narrow bridges
The multimedia system may give incorrect navigation commands if the actual street/traffic
situation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. 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 regulations
always have priority over the system's driving
recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of consulting the map display for directions. Looking
at the icons or map display can distract you from
traffic conditions and driving, and increase the
risk of an accident.
General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system
The navigation system must determine the position of the vehicle before first use or whenever
operational status is restored. Therefore, you
may have to drive for a while before precise
route guidance is possible.
GPS reception
Among other things, correct functioning of the
navigation system depends on GPS reception. In
certain situations, GPS reception may be
impaired, there may be interference or there
may be no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels or
parking garages.
Using roof carriers may impair the correct
i
functioning of a roof antenna (phone, satellite
radio, GPS).
Entry restriction
For vehicles in certain countries, there is a data
entry restriction.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed of
above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). As soon
as the speed falls below approximately 2 mph
(3 km/h), the restriction becomes inactive.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. Menu items are shown in gray
and cannot be selected.
For example:
R
entering the destination city and street
R
entering a destination via the map
R
entering POIs in the vicinity of a city or via a
name search
R
editing entries
Other entries are possible, such as entering
points of interest in the vicinity of the destination or current position.

Using car pool lanes
You can include carpool lanes (HOV or car sharing lanes) in the route calculation.
If you use HOV or carpool lanes, please observe
the applicable laws as well as the local and time
limitation conditions.
Carpool lanes may only be used under certain
conditions. They can normally be used when
there are two people in the vehicle. However,
there are also carpool lanes which can only be
used when there are three or more people in the
vehicle. In California, lone drivers may also use
the carpool lanes if the vehicle's emission or
consumption values are below the prescribed
levels.
Carpool lanes may be reserved for specific
times (e.g. during the peak period).
Carpool lanes are indicated by a diamond symbol on specific road signs and on the road surface. The road signs may also include the designation CARPOOL. The lanes are arranged as a
separate lane next to the others or are built as a
physically separate lane.
Depending on the setting under Use Carpool
Lanes, the multimedia system uses carpool
lanes when calculating the route. During route
guidance, visual and audible driving directions
provide guidance into and out of carpool lanes.

Route guidance
General notes
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking the following into
account, for example:
R
traffic lights
R
stop and yield signs
R
parking or stopping restrictions
R
road narrowing
R
temporary traffic rules and regulations
The navigation system can give differing driving
recommendations if the actual street/traffic situation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. For example, if the road layout or
the direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over system driving recom-

mendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
The multimedia system guides you to your des-
tination by means of navigation announcements
in the form of audible navigation announcements and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if navigation mode is switched on.
If you do not follow the navigation announcements or if you leave the calculated route, the
multimedia system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
R
During route guidance, the multimedia system tries to avoid roads with restricted
access. These include, for example, roads
which are closed to through-traffic.

Change of direction
Overview
Changes of direction have three phases:
R
Preparation phase
R
Announcement phase
R
Change-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster (see
the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase
Navigation
The multimedia system prepares you for the
upcoming driving maneuver, e.g. with the
announcement "Prepare to turn right". You see
the full-screen map.
Announcement phase
Change-of-direction phase
The multimedia system announces the immediate change of direction. The change of direction
is announced ahead of time, e.g. with the
announcement "Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announcement phase.
The change of direction is performed when the
light-color bar on the right drops down to 0 ft and
the current vehicle position symbol has reached
the white change-of-direction point.
When the change of direction is completed, the
map will appear in full screen mode again.

the announcement "Turn right in 200 meters".
The display is now split into two sectors. The
map is shown on the left side of the display, and
a detailed image of the intersection or a 3D

The navigation system may guide you to off-road
routes that your vehicle cannot drive on without
causing damage to the tires or wheels or the
vehicle itself. It is the driver’s sole responsibility
to determine the suitability of the route. The
condition of the off-road routes may vary. The
navigability of off-road routes may be influenced
by various factors such as time of day, time of
year and prevailing weather conditions. The navigation system cannot judge these factors or
take them into account for route guidance.
Real-time traffic reports
If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part of
the digital map, the display appears as a splitscreen view. On the right, an arrow appears that
points to the off-road destination. You hear the
announcement: "Please follow the arrow on the
display". As the vehicle approaches the destination, you will see a display to this effect.
Route guidance from an off-road location to a destination
Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on the
digital map, but the map does not contain any
information about that location. The multimedia
system is able to guide you to a destination even
from an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Road Not Mapped
distance to the destination. The arrow shows
the compass heading to the actual destination.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known
to the system, route guidance continues in the
usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
Due to road construction, for example, there
may be differences between the data on the
digital map and the actual course of the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the digital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off-road
position.
In the display, you will then see the Road Not
Mapped message, an arrow and the distance to
the destination. The direction arrow shows the
compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance continues in the usual way.

Route guidance to an off-road destination
The multimedia system can guide you to destinations which are within the area of the digital
map, but which are not themselves on the map.
These destinations are known as off-road destinations, which you can enter using the map, for
example. In these cases, the multimedia system
guides you for as long as possible with navigation announcements and displays on roads
known to the system.

Storing destinations
General notes
If a route to a destination has been calculated,
the multimedia system saves the destination to
the last destinations memory. If the memory is
full, the multimedia system overwrites the oldest destination. When you save the current vehicle position or a crosshair position, this position
is stored in the "Last destinations" memory.
You can save destinations permanently in the
address book and on an SD memory card. For
instance, this is possible immediately after
entering an address.
Requirement: the SD memory card is formatted
using the FAT file system (e.g. FAT32).

Updating the digital map
Introduction
The digital maps generated by the map software
become 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 versions of the digital
map can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. You can have the digital
map updated there using a data medium, or you
can update it yourself.

For North American countries, it is possible to
update the map data for the multimedia system
free of charge for a period of three years. Information on the availability of this service for your
vehicle can be obtained from your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
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 the multimedia system.
They are usually installed during a regular vehicle service. After this period, you can purchase
further updates from your authorized MercedesBenz Center.
The free updates relate to the vehicle and not to
an individual. If there is a change of ownership

within the three years after first registration, the
new owner is entitled to the map software

Updating at an authorized MercedesBenz Center
If an update for your map software is available,
you will receive it free of charge at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center during your vehicle's annual service. You can arrange a separate
appointment for this at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center on request.
The update can only be performed:

Carrying out a manual update
After the free update of the map data has
expired or when buying map data, you can
update the data yourself.
The update process may take some time (up to
45 minutes), depending on the size of the digital
map. The update will be completed more quickly
if the vehicle is stationary. If you begin the
update while the vehicle is stationary and the
starter battery has insufficient power, the multimedia system may switch off automatically.
This protects the battery. In order to prevent
this, a suitable power supply to the vehicle must
be maintained.

Procedure and general information
Searching for and authorizing (connecting)
a mobile phone
Before using your mobile phone with the multimedia system for the first time, you will need to
search for the phone (

Y page 98). Depending on the
mobile phone, authorization either takes place
by means of Secure Simple Pairing or by entering a passkey. The multimedia system automatically makes the procedure that is relevant for
your mobile phone available. You can recognize
Secure Simple Pairing by the fact that a code is
displayed on the mobile phone and on the multimedia system. You can recognize the passkey
system by the fact that you have to enter a code
on the mobile phone and on the multimedia system. The mobile phone is always connected
automatically after authorization.
If the multimedia system does not detect your
mobile phone, this may be due to particular
security settings on your mobile phone. You can
also start the search procedure and authorization on the mobile phone (
Device-specific information on authorizing and
connecting Bluetooth
can be found on the Internet at http://
www.mercedes-benz.com/connect.
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones. After
authorization, the connection of the last two telephones used always functions automatically.
Only one mobile phone can be connected to the
multimedia system at any one time.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if
you leave the receiver range of the multimedia
system or deactivate Bluetooth
phone.
