Introduction
The digital maps generated by the map soft-
ware become outdated in the same way as
conventional road maps. Optimal route guid-
ance 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 a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. You can have the digital map
updated there with a DVD, or you can update
it yourself.
In some countries, it is possible to update the
map data for COMAND Online free of charge
for a period of 3 years. Information on the
availability of this service for your vehicle can
be obtained from your Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre. If the free update is not available
in your country, please read the "Updating
process" section.
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
COMAND Online. They are usually installed
during a regular vehicle service. After this
period, you can purchase further updates
from your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The free updates relate to the vehicle and not
to an individual. If there is a change of own-
ership within 3 years of first registration, the
new owner is entitled to the map software
updates.
Availability of free updates
Enter your e-mail address at http://
www.mercedes-benz-accessories.com/
comand-infomail. You will receive a one-off e-
mail containing information on how to update
the map software. Please also visit http://

navigation-updates to find out if map soft-
ware updates for your vehicle are available at
your Mercedes-Benz partner.
Updating at the Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre
If an update for your map software is availa-
ble, you will receive it free of charge at your
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre during your
vehicle's annual service. You can arrange a
separate appointment for this at your
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre on request.
The update is performed only by a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre for European map data.
The map software is not provided on a data
medium.
Carrying out the update yourself
i
The update process may take some 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 you start the update with the engine
switched off and the starter battery has
insufficient power, COMAND Online may
automatically switch off. This preserves the
battery. If this occurs, restart the update
with the engine running.
