▌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 driv-

ing instructions. Driving instructions are, for

example navigation announcements, changes in

direction and lane recommendations.

Changes in direction and lane recommendations

are shown in the navigation window.

The following displays and functions are also avail-

able in the navigation window, for example:

Route list

Destination information

Trac information, e.g. length of trac jam,

delay

Motorway facilities

Car park search

Emergency corridors

MBUX multimedia system

491

F247 0074 02

If you do not follow the driving instructions or if

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

culated automatically.

If, for example, the route is diverted or the direc-

tion of a one-way road has been reversed, driving

instructions may deviate from the actual trac

situation.

Alternatives may be oered during route guid-

ance, e.g. before passing a motorway exit road.

The additional driving time for the journey along

the motorway exit is shown.

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 can dier from the ideal route, for

example in the event of roadworks or incomplete

digital map data.

Notes on satellite reception

The correct function of the navigation system

depends amongst other things on reception of the

satellite system used. In certain situations satel-

lite reception can be impaired, malfunction or

even not be possible, e.g. in tunnels or in multi-

storey car parks.

▌Changing direction overview

Changes of direction are shown in the following

displays:

Detailed image of the junction

The display appears when you drive into a

junction.

3D image

The display appears when driving on junction-

free, multi-lane roads, for example at motor-

way exits and motorway interchanges.

Example: detailed image of the crossing with

upcoming changes of direction

Name of the street to turn into

Change of direction arrow (also on the map)

Manoeuvre point

Change of direction arrow (also on the map)

Larger map scales show change of direction

points instead of change of direction arrows.

Current distance to the change of direction

Current vehicle position

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 navigation window shows: the direction

information or the name of the road which is

to be turned into as well as the distance to the

change of direction.

Announcement phase

The multimedia system announces the upcom-

ing change of direction, e.g. by announcing

"Turn right in 300 m".

When the

Auto zoom map orientation is

switched o (/ page 506), a detailed repre-

sentation of the junction or a 3D image of the

upcoming change in direction appears in the

navigation window.

Change-of-direction phase

The multimedia system announces the immi-

nent change of direction, e.g. by announcing

"Now turn right".

Example of 3D image: when the distance to

manoeuvre point

1 is shown with 0 m and

the symbol for current vehicle position

4 has

reached manoeuvre point

1 the change in

direction is carried out.

Changes in direction are also displayed on the

driver's display and head-up display.

▌Lane recommendations overview

Example: lane recommendations

Lane not recommended (grey arrow)

Possible lane (white arrow)

Recommended lane (white arrow, blue back-

ground)

This display appears for multi-lane roads.

MBUX multimedia system

493

F247 0074 02

If the digital map contains the relevant data, lane

recommendations are displayed in the navigation

window.

Explanation of the displayed lanes:

Recommended lane

In this lane, you will be able to complete both

the next change of direction and the one aer

that.

Possible lane

In this lane, you will only be able to complete

the next change of direction.

Non-recommended lane

In this lane, you will not be able to complete

the next change of direction without changing

lane.

During the change of direction, new lanes may be

added. Bus lanes are also shown.

Lane recommendations are also displayed on

the driver's display and head-up display.

▌Using motorway information

When driving on the motorway, upcoming motor-

way facilities and available service facilities are

shown in the route list. These include car parks,

service stations or motorway exits with service

POIs, for example.

The entries are sorted according to increasing dis-

tance from the current vehicle position.

Select an entry.

If several service facilities are available, select

a service facility from the list.

The destination address and the map position

are shown.

Calculate the route (/ page 480).

Search for a POI in the vicinity.

Use other functions, e.g. store the destination

address of the service facility.

Route guidance with current trac reports

▌Trac information overview

Current trac reports are received with the Live

Trac Information subscription service.

If the subscription has expired, then FM RDS-TMC

is available in selected countries.

Live Trac Information is not available in all

countries.

The service must be registered in the Mercedes

me user account (/ page 497). This secures the

free-of-charge period of three years.

The service updates the trac situation via the

Internet connection at short, regular intervals.

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.

There may be dierences between the trac

reports received and the actual road and traf-

c conditions.

If you do not want to transmit the vehicle position,

you have the following options:

You deactivate the service in the Mercedes

me user account.

You have the service deactivated at a

Mercedes-Benz service centre.

Further hazard warnings are received using

the Car-to-X service (/ page 500).

▌Car-to-X-Communication overview

The following requirements apply for the Car-to-X-

The vehicle is equipped with an MBUX multi-

media system with navigation function.

There is a subscription for the Live Trac

Information service.

The Car-to-X-Communication service is activa-

ted in your Mercedes me user account.

Car-to-X-Communication is available in selec-

ted countries.

The communication module automatically estab-

lishes an Internet connection once the vehicle is

switched on. If there are any hazard warnings,

they will be provided shortly thereaer. Depend-

ing on the mobile phone connection, provision

takes place from within a second up to about a

minute.

Benets of Car-to-X-Communication:

Dangers are automatically detected by the

vehicle or can be reported by the driver. These

are then sent to vehicles with Car-to-X-Com-

munication in the immediate vicinity.

If available, current details relating to hazard

spots near the vehicle's current position are

received.

This gives you sucient time to adapt your

driving style to the trac conditions.

The use of Car-to-X-Communication requires the

regular transmission of vehicle data to Mercedes-

Benz AG. The data is then immediately pseudony-

mised by Mercedes-Benz AG. The vehicle data is

deleted aer an appropriate amount of time has

elapsed (several weeks) and is not stored perma-

against access by unauthorised third parties.
