Introduction

Operating safety

Important safety notes

WARNING

If you operate information systems and communication equipment integrated in the vehicle when driving, you may be distracted from the traffic situation. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.

Only operate this 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:

traffic lights

stop and yield signs

merging lanes

parking or stopping in a no parking/no stopping zone

other road and traffic rules and regulations

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. 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 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.

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 equip-

he FCC radio frequency (RF)

ment and

meets t

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

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.

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.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Introduction

Canada only: The wireless devices of this vehi-

cle 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:

the safety notes in this manual

traffic rules and regulations

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:

the vehicle's operating state

events

malfunctions

In general, this technical information documents the state of a component, a module, a system or the surroundings.

These include, for example:

operating conditions of system components, e.g. fluid levels

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

malfunctions and defects in important system components, e.g. lights, brakes

vehicle reactions and operating conditions in special driving situations, e.g. air bag deployment, intervention of stability control systems

ambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature

This data is of an exclusively technical nature and can be used to:

assist in detecting and rectifying malfunctions and defects

analyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an accident

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 fault data memory.

Services include, for example:

repair services

service processes

warranty events

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.

Introduction

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:

accident reports

damage to the vehicle

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.

Multimedia system/mbrace

If the vehicle is equipped with multimedia system 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 the multimedia system or the mbrace system.

For additional information please refer to the multimedia system 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:

how various systems in your vehicle are operating

whether or not the driver and passenger seat belts are fastened

how far (if at all) the driver is depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal and

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

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.

Introduction

Your multimedia system equipment

Read the information on qualified specialist workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual.

Introduction

Important safety notes

Navigation

WARNING

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:

traffic lights

stop and yield signs

merging lanes

parking or stopping in a no parking/no stopping zone

other road and traffic rules and regulations

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 bee d

iverted or the direction of a one-way street may

have changed.

Navigation announcements are intended to direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving.

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

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 above a vehicle speed of about 3 mph (5 km/h). The restriction is deactivated as soon as the vehicle speed drops below about 2 mph (3 km/h).

When the restriction is active, certain entries cannot be made. Menu items are shown in gray and cannot be selected.

For example:

entering the destination city and street

entering a destination via the map

Atten‐ tion Assist

Function activated: if ATTENTION ASSIST displays a warning in the multifunction display, a message appears in the multimedia system display when you drive onto a highway. This can help you start a rest stop search.

For further information on ATTENTION ASSIST, see the vehicle Operator's Manual.

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. If the vehicle's emission or consumption values are below the prescribed levels, lone drivers may also use the carpool lanes in California.

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:

traffic lights

stop and yield signs

parking or stopping restrictions

road narrowing

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 recommendations.

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.

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 applie

During route guidance, the multimedia system tries to avoid roads with restricted access. These include, for example, roads which are closed to through-traffic.

Roads that have time restrictions are considered for route guidance on days when they are open. For this purpose, the relevant times must be correctly stored in the database. For example, a time restriction can mean a road is closed on Sundays and public holidays.

Change of direction

Overview

Changes of direction have three phases:

Preparation phase

Announcement phase

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

Next road or direction

;

Point at which the change of direction takes place (white dot)

Change of direction (turn right here)

Distance to the next change of direction

The multimedia system announces the imminent change of direction.

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.

Route guidance

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 (0 m) 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.

Display on highways

Lane recommendations

Display on multi-lane roads

Lanes not recommended (dark gray)

;

Possible lane (light gray)

Recommended lanes (white)

If the digital map contains the relevant data, the multimedia system can display lane recommendations on multi-lane roads for the next change of direction.

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 only be able to complete the next change of direction in this lane.

Recommended lane =: in this lane you will be able to complete the next change of direction and the one after that.

The multimedia system shows the lane recommendations for the next two changes of direction. Lane recommendations are also shown in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).

Off-road

General notes

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.

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. 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.

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

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 dig-

ital 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.

Real-time traffic reports

Real-time traffic reports on the map

The multimedia system can show certain traffic incidents on the map with symbols and color lines. Symbols show the type of incident and color lines show the extent. Traffic reports are shown on the map at scales of 1/32 mi to 20 mi.

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.

Carrying out a manual update

You can carry out the update 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.

Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions

The multimedia system must identify the vehicle’s position again after it has been transported.

Example:

After transporting the vehicle by ferry

After transporting the vehicle by motorail

Start the vehicle and pull away. The multimedia system calculates the vehicle's position. Depending on the driving situation, this may take some time.

Route guidance may be restricted during the determination of the vehicle's position.

When positioning is complete, route guidance is resumed with navigation announcements and route guidance displays.

Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions

The multimedia system has an integrated hard drive on which the digital map is stored.

To protect the integrated hard drive against damage, the multimedia system deactivates it at very high and low temperatures. The navigation system will then be temporarily unavailable.

Let the vehicle and the multimedia system heat up or cool down to a normal temperature.

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 ( authorize it (

Y page 93). 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.

If you no longer want the Bluetooth to be established automatically, the mobile phone must be de-authorized (disconnected)
