Updating the map software
You can update the map software yourself
using a DVD.
Notes about handling DVDs
ț Only hold discs by the edge.
ț Handle discs carefully to prevent read
problems.
ț Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints
and dust on discs.
ț Use a commercially-available cleaning
cloth to clean discs. Do not wipe them
with a circular motion, but only in
straight lines from the center out-
wards.
ț Place discs back in their boxes after
use.
ț Protect discs from heat and direct sun-
light.
Updating process
The updating process has the following
phases:
ț Loading a DVD into the DVD changer

ț Updating process (page 142)
i
The updating process can take between 10
and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the
map software. If the radio was switched on be-
fore you started the updating process, you can
still adjust the volume. You can also use
COMAND to operate the automatic air condition-
ing and to cancel the process. Other functions
are not operational.
If possible, carry out the update when the vehicle
is stationary.
i
If you carry out the update with the engine
switched off and the vehicle battery has insuffi-
cient power, COMAND may automatically switch
off during the process in order to protect the bat-
tery. If this occurs, restart the update with the
engine running period. Similarly, if the SmartKey
position is unintentionally switched to 0, restart
the update.
Warning! G
Never leave the engine running in an en-
closed space. The exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gases
constitutes a health hazard and could lead
to loss of consciousness or even death.
