BENZ NAVIGATION MAP UPDATE
More than a Map.
™
5
Control of devices connected via the AUX input (non iPod/USB)is limited to volume control.
6
Navigation system data includes the United States (excluding Alaska)and Canada. Directional assistance
provided only when GPS coverage is available. Maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area.
While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving
behavior, including paying attention to traffic and street signs. The driver should utilize the system’s
audio cues while driving and should only consult the map or verbal displays once the vehicle has been
stopped in a safe place. See your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer for availability and details.
Navigation Map Update
The Mercedes-Benz Navigation System
6
is a fully integrated system
that combines Global Positioning System (GPS)technology with
electronic mapping software to help you to plan trips, navigate detours
and avoid getting lost. The Global Positioning System (GPS)satellites
continuously track your vehicle’s location, and rely on accessing the
most up-to-date mapping information in order to give you the most
accurate and efficient routes.
Notice however, how quickly the surroundings change: roads are
added or diverted, restaurants open and close, hotels and hospitals
are built, ATMs move. In fact, as much as 20 percent of the navi-
gation data the GPS satellites rely on changes every year. That is
why Mercedes-Benz offers reliable, and updated navigation data
to help get you where you need to go, effortlessly. The Navigation
Map Updates are available for purchase from your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer.
The system can route you through more than 6.1 million miles of
navigable roads in the United States and Canada. Just enter the
address on the intelligent destination input screen, and the system
takes over, guiding you audibly and with a clear and detailed 7"
LCD map display. Do you need an idea where to go? The Navigation
System also offers 1.7 million Points of Interest in 40 categories
including ATMs, restaurants, hotels, airports, museums and more.

Engineered to keep you connected to your way of life.

Child Safety Seats

Please consult your owner’s manual or dealer for proper installation of your child seat.
BabySmart/OCS Safety Information: Most Mercedes-Benz vehicles from MY 1998 through 2003, select models from 2004 through 2006, and current G-Class vehicles are equipped with
BabySmart™. Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with BabySmart™ have a device that recognizes the presence of BabySmart™-equipped child seat when properly installed in the front
passenger seat and deactivates the passenger front air bag (check your vehicle’s Operator’s Manual or labels located on the sides of your dashboard to verify). All current Mercedes-Benz
models are equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS)(with exception of the G-Class)which is designed to turn off the front passenger’s front airbag when the system
senses the weight of a typical child 12 months old or less plus the weight of a standard child restraint. See vehicle’s operators manual for important additional information on this system
and further information regarding the transportation of children heavier than a typical 12 month old. All Mercedes-Benz child safety seats meet or exceed U.S. Department of Trans-
portation standards. They are also suitable for use in older vehicles that do not have integrated LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children)attachment points. Visit the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website at http://www.NHTSA.gov for additional information about child safety seat laws and proper use.
