Important notes
Safety instructions
WarningG
For safety reasons, you should only enter a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger
should enter the destination. Study manual
and select route before driving.
Do not watch display screen or operate but-
tons while the vehicle is in motion - let navi-
gation announcements guide you. Stop at a
safe location before using buttons or mak-
ing corrections.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recommendations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximate-
ly 14 m) every second.
WarningG
The route calculated by COMAND is a rec-
ommendation on how to best reach your se-
lected destination.
During route guidance, you will not receive
any information on
Traffic lights
Stop and yield signs
Parking or stopping zones
One-way streets
Narrow bridges
Similar traffic regulation data
You should therefore always strictly observe
traffic regulations while driving. Drive care-
fully and always obey traffic laws and road
signs even if they contradict COMAND in-
structions.
WarningG
The Navigation DVD module contains a
Class 1 laser product. There is a danger of
invisible laser radiation if the cover is
opened or damaged.
Do not remove the cover. The Navigation
DVD module does not contain any parts
which can be serviced by the user. For safe-
ty reasons, have any service work which
may be necessary performed only by quali-
fied personnel.

110 Navigation*
Important notes
If your vehicle has been transported by a
car, train or ferry, COMAND may require
some time to find its exact position. COMAND may issue navigation announce-
ments not suited to your actual position.
Moving the vehicle a few yards is typically
enough to remedy the situation.
While determining the exact position,
route guidance is subject to the following
restrictions:
COMAND does not output navigation
announcements.
The display OFF ROAD and an arrow indi-
cating the direction of the destination
appear instead of the detailed naviga-
tion displays.
Once the system is correctly repositioned,
route guidance continues with navigation
announcements and detailed navigation
displays. The following instructions have to be fol-
lowed when interrupting a trip during route
guidance, and later continuation:
Continuation of the trip within 2 hours
after interruption:
The system automatically resumes
route guidance.
Continuation of the trip between
2 and 12 hours after interruption:
Continue Route guidance manually
in the Navigation main menu
(
page 112).
Route guidance with GPS
i
GPS (Global Positioning System) sig-
nals received make it possible to deter-
mine the current vehicle position.
Deviations from the actual position
may occur
if the reception of GPS signals is
disturbed, e. g. in parking garages
and tunnels
if road conditions are bad
depending on the vehicle’s location
Determination of location after
vehicle transport
i
The navigation DVD must be loaded in
the navigation computer (
page 109).
Trip interruption during route guid-
ance
i
Trip interruption means parking the ve-
hicle and switching COMAND OFF.
Trip continuation means trip continua-
tion with COMAND switched ON.
