How to Use Mercedes Navigation

Mercedes Benz equips many of its cars with its proprietary navigation and multimedia system, dubbed "COMAND." In addition to providing an access point for in-car telephone controls, stereo controls and satellite radio, COMAND also provides a navigation system. Included with the navigation system are points of interest, turn-by-turn directions and an address book feature. Using the navigation system to obtain directions is a relatively easy and straightforward procedure.

  • Turn on your car and press the "NAV" button while you remain parked.

  • Push the joy stick on your dash downward and navigate to "Enter Destination." Press "OK" to begin destination input.

  • Using the joy stick, enter the letters to spell out the street name of your destination. Press the "State" soft-key at the corner of the screen and use the joy stick to navigate through the list of states. Select your destination's state and press "OK."

  • Select the "House Number" soft key and enter in the house number of your destination using the joy stick. Press "OK" when complete.

  • Use the joy stick to select "Start route guidance" on the main menu to begin receiving turn-by-turn directions to your destination from your Mercedes' navigation system.
