Updating process
G
WARNING
Never leave the engine running in enclosed
spaces. The exhaust gases contain toxic
carbon monoxide. Breathing in exhaust fumes
is a health hazard and can lead to
unconsciousness or death.
The update process can take a long time (over
an hour), depending on the size of the digital
map. During this time, you will only be able to
switch on radio mode and to accept incoming
calls. The update will be completed more
quickly if the vehicle is stationary.
If the starter battery is not sufficiently
charged, COMAND may end the process
automatically. This protects the battery. If
this occurs, restart the update with the
engine running.

Map software copy protection
Map software for COMAND is subject to a
charge. The map software has just one
activation code which is usable in one vehicle
only, and is not transferable. You can obtain
the six-digit activation code from an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. If you
have lost the activation code, contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. If
COMAND does not accept the activation
code that you have received, also contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Your vehicle is supplied with map software at
the factory. Depending on the country, map
software for your region is either pre-installed
or the map software is supplied as a DVD. You
do not require an activation code for the map
software that is provided with your vehicle.
If the map software on your vehicle has been
installed at the factory and you wish to
reinstall it, this also does not necessitate
entry of the activation code.
