These operating instructions describe all
standard and optional equipment available

chase. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. Please note that your COMAND system
may not be equipped with all the features
described. This also applies to safety-relevant

equipment and operation, please consult an

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating COMAND.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and yield signs
R merging lanes
R parking or stopping in a no parking/no
stopping zone
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
R narrow bridges COMAND can give incorrect navigation com-
mands if the actual street/traffic situation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. Digital maps do not cover all areas nor
all routes in an area. For example, a route may
have been diverted or the direction of a one-
way street may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of con-
sulting the map display for directions. Look-
ing at the icons or map display can distract
you from traffic conditions and driving, and
increase the risk of an accident.
General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
whenever operational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible.
GPS reception Among other things, correct functioning of
the navigation system depends on GPS recep-
tion. In certain situations, GPS reception may
be impaired, there may be interference or
there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tun-
nels or parking garages.
i Using roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone, sat-
ellite radio, GPS). 62

Entry restriction
For vehicles in certain countries, there is a
data entry restriction.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed
of above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). As
soon as the speed falls below approximately
2 mph (3 km/h), the restriction becomes
inactive.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. This will be indicated by the
fact that certain menu items are grayed out
and cannot be selected.
The following entries are not possible, for
example:
R entering the destination city and street
R entering a destination via the map
R entering POIs in the vicinity of a city or via
a name search
