WARNING Risk of distraction from infor-

mation systems and communications

equipment

lose control of the vehicle.

Only operate this equipment when the

trac situation permits.

If you cannot be sure of this, stop the

vehicle whilst paying attention to road

and trac conditions and operate the

equipment with the vehicle stationary.

You must observe the legal requirements for the

country in which you are currently driving when

operating the multimedia system.

▌Notes on route guidance

WARNING Risk of distraction from operat-

ing integrated communication equipment

while the vehicle is in motion

If you operate communication equipment inte-

grated in the vehicle when driving, you could

be distracted from the trac situation. This

could also cause you to lose control of the

vehicle.

Only operate this equipment when the

trac situation permits.

If you cannot be sure of this, stop the

vehicle whilst paying attention to road

and trac conditions and operate the

equipment with the vehicle stationary.

You must observe the legal requirements for the

country in which you are currently driving when

operating the multimedia system.

Route guidance begins once a route has been cal-

culated.

The road and trac rules and regulations always

have priority over multimedia system driving

instructions.

The following driving instructions can be used:

Navigation announcements

Route guidance displays

Lane recommendations

If you do not follow the driving instructions or if

you leave the calculated route, a new route is cal-

culated automatically.

Driving instructions may dier from the actual

road and trac conditions if:

The route is diverted

The direction of a one-way street has been

changed

For this reason, you must always observe road

and trac rules and regulations during your jour-

ney as well as the prevailing trac conditions.

The route may dier from the ideal route due to

the following:

Roadworks

252

Multimedia system

Incomplete digital map data

Notes on GPS reception

The correct function of the navigation system

depends amongst other things on GPS reception.

In certain situations GPS reception can be

impaired, defective or even not possible, e.g. in

tunnels or in parking garages.

▌Changing direction overview

There are three phases when changing direction:

Preparation phase

If there is enough time between the changes

of direction, the multimedia system prepares

you for the upcoming change of direction. A

navigation announcement is issued, e.g. "Pre-

pare to turn right".

The map appears in full-screen mode.

Announcement phase

The multimedia system announces the upcom-

ing change of direction, e.g. by announcing

"Turn right in 300  (100 m)".

The display is split into two parts. The map is

displayed on the le; on the right, there is a

detailed image of the intersection or a 3D

image of the upcoming change of direction.

Change-of-direction phase

The multimedia system announces the immi-

nent change of direction, e.g. by announcing

"Now turn right".

The display is split into two parts.

The vehicle has successfully changed direction

when the light-color bar on the right drops

down to 0 feet (0 m) and the current vehicle

position symbol has reached the highlighted

change-of-direction point.

When the change of direction is complete, the

map appears in full-screen mode.

Changes of direction are also shown in the

Instrument Display.

▌Lane recommendations overview

This display appears for multi-lane roads.

If the digital map contains the relevant data, the

multimedia system can display lane recommenda-

tions for the next two changes of direction.

During the change of direction, new lanes may be

added.

Lane recommendations can also be displayed

in the Instrument Display and in the Head-up

Route guidance with current trac reports

▌Trac information overview

Trac reports are received using Live Trac Infor-

mation and are used for route guidance.

This service is unavailable in some countries.

There may be dierences between the trac

reports received and the actual road and trac

conditions.

Important information on Live Trac Information:

Current trac reports are received via the

Internet connection.

The trac situation is updated at short, regu-

lar intervals.

The subscription information shows the status

(/ page 258).

Information on the vehicle's position is regularly

sent to Mercedes-Benz AG. The data is immedi-

ately rendered anonymous by Mercedes-Benz AG

and forwarded to the trac data provider. Using

this data, trac reports relevant to the vehicle's

position are sent to the vehicle. The vehicle acts

as a sensor for the ow of trac and helps to

improve the quality of the trac reports.

If you do not wish to transmit your vehicle posi-

tion, you can have this service deactivated at an

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
