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 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 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) every
second.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meet
s 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). However, it is recommended to install it at a distance
of at least 8 inches (approx. 20 cm) between the
radiation source and a person's body (not
including limbs such as 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.
Declarations of conformity
Vehicle components which receive
and/or transmit radio waves
USA only: The wireless devices of this vehicle
comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause interference,
and
2) These devices must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Introduction
15
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
Canada only: The wireless devices of this vehicle comply with Industry Canada licenseexempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
1) These devices may not cause interference,
and
2) These devices must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Correct use
You need to observe the following information
when using the multimedia system:
R
the safety notes in this manual
R
traffic rules and regulations
R
laws and safety standards pertaining to motor
vehicles
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
against theft can be obtained from an authorized 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
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
R
assist in detecting and rectifying faults 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
and fault 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.

Z
Introduction
16
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 wi
the ty
pe of personal identification data routinely
th
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment 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 Su
pplemental 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
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 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 may provide incorrect
navigation recommendations if the actual
street/traffic situation does not correspond
with the digital map's data.
Examples of such deviations incl
R
a diverted route
R
a change in the direction of a one-way street
ude:
Digital maps do not cover all areas nor all routes
in an area.
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.
Entries can be made when the selector lever is in
position P or the vehicle is stationary.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. This will be indicated by the
fact that certain menu items are grayed out and
cannot be selected.

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, single 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 Number of
Occupants in the Vehicle:, the navigation
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
Always observe the traffic regulations when
driving. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over system driving recommendations.
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
parking or stopping restrictions
R
road narrowing
R
temporary traffic rules and regulations
The multimedia system may give differing navigation commands 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.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
The multimedia system guides you to your destination by means of navigation announcements
in the form of audible navigation announcements and route guidance displays.
Navigation messages guide you during the journey without distracting you from traffic conditions or driving. Please always use this feature
instead of consulting the map display for direc-
Y page 59).
tions. The symbols or the map display could distract you from traffic conditions and driving.
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.
R
Roads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed
on Sundays and public holidays) are considered for route guidance on days when they are
open. For this purpose, the relevant times
must be correctly stored in the database.
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
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
:

Distance to the next change of direction
Navigation
The multimedia system announces the imminent change of direction. The change of direction is announced ahead of time, with the
announcement "Turn right in 300 meters", for
example.
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
image of the imminent change of direction is
shown on the right side of the display.
Change-of-direction phase
When the change of direction is completed, the
map will appear in full screen mode again.
Display on highways
The image shows an example of route guidance
at a highway intersection when driving on a
highway.
Lane recommendations
Display on multi-lane roads
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-colored bar on the right drops down to 0 ft
and the current vehicle position symbol has
reached the white change-of-direction point.
:
Lanes not recommended (dark gray)

If the digital map contains the relevant data, the

Lane not recommended :: you will not be able
to complete the next change of direction if you
stay in this lane.
Possible lane ;: you will be able to complete
the next change of direction in this lane.

Off-road
General notes
The multimedia system may guide you to offroad routes that your vehicle cannot drive on
without causing damage to the tires and wheels,
or the vehicle itself. It is the driver’s sole responsibility to determine the suitability of the route.
The state and navigability of off-road routes may
be influenced, for example, by factors such as
time of day, time of year and current weather
conditions. The multimedia system cannot
judge these factors or take them into account
for route guidance.
Real-time traffic reports
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

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.
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.

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 USA and Mexico, 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 an authorized MercedesBenz 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 an 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
updates.
Updating at an authorized MercedesBenz Center
If an update for your map software is available,
you will receive it free of charge at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center during your vehicle's
annual service. You can arrange a separate
appointment for this at an authorized MercedesBenz Center on request.
The update can only be performed:
R
at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
R
for navigation data for North America
The map software is not provided on DVD.
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.
