Navigation system

GRisk of accident

For safety reasons, only enter a destination when the vehicle is stationary. Study manual and select route before driving.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is co- vering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.

The Universal Media Interface calculates the route to the destination without taking ac- count of the following, for example:

•Traffic lights

•Stop and right-of-way signs

•Parking or stopping prohibited areas

•Lane merging

•Other road and traffic rules and regulations

•Narrow bridges

The Universal Media Interface may give incor- rect navigation commands if the data in the digital map does not correspond with the ac- tual road/traffic situation. Maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area. For ex- ample, if the traffic routing has been changed or the direction of a one-way road has been reversed.

For this reason, you must always observe ap- plicable road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the navigation commands generated by the sy- stem.

GRisk of accident

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 con- sulting the map display for directions. Con- sulting the symbols or map display for directions may cause you to divert your atten- tion from driving and increase your risk of an accident.

Map software

The digital maps generated by the map software become outdated in the same way as conventional road maps. Optimum route guidance can only be provided by the navigation system in conjunction with the most up-to-date map software. Informati- on about new map software versions can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service Center.

Information via satellite signals

The navigation system must receive satel- lite signals for route guidance. The system may not be able to acquire satellite signals inside multi-level parking garages or in the vicinity of tall buildings or trees.
