General notesGWARNING
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking into account the
following, for example:
R Traffic lights
R Stop and right-of-way signs
R Lane merging
R Parking or stopping prohibited areas
R Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R Narrow bridges
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map does
not correspond with the actual road/ traffic
situation. For example, if the traffic routing
has been changed or the direction of a one-
way road has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and
regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands
generated by the system.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated ( Y page 140).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation commands in the form
of audible navigation announcements and
route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can only be seen
if the display is switched to navigation mode.
If you do not follow the navigation
announcements or if you leave the calculated
route, COMAND automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
R when selecting a route, COMAND tries to
avoid roads that only have limited access,
150NavigationCOMAND

e.g. roads closed to through traffic and non-
residents.
R roads that have time restrictions (e.g.
closed on Sundays and public holidays) are
avoided for route guidance.
Change of direction
Introduction
Changes of direction have three phases:
R preparation phase
R announcement phase
R change-of-direction phase
Preparation phase
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
change of direction. Based on the example
display below, the change of direction is
announced with a message. You see the full-
screen map.
Example display: preparation phase
:Next road;Route=Current vehicle position (the tip of the
triangle indicates the vehicle’s direction
of travel)?Current road
The display in ? depends on the setting
selected under "Text information on the map"
( Y page 169).
Announcement phase
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. With reference to the following
example display, the announcement is given
before the change of direction with the
request Please turn right in 900 ft .
The announced distance to the next change
of direction depends on the type of road and
its permissible speed limit.
The display is now split into two sectors. In
the left half, you see the normal map view.
The right half shows an enlarged section of
the area around the intersection (Crossing
Zoom) or a 3D image of the road's course with
the route indicating the next maneuver.
Example display: announcement phase
:Next road;Point at which the change of direction
takes place (light blue dot, shown in both
the left and right displays)=Graphic representation of the distance to
the next change of direction?Change of direction (turn right here)ADistance to the next change of directionBRoute (highlighted in blue, shown in both
the left and right displays)
i The filled-in section of visual display for
distance = gets shorter, the nearer you
get to the announced change of direction.
Change-of-direction phase
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. In the example, the Now turn
right announcement is made 100 ft. before
the change of direction. The display is split
into two halves, as in the announcement
phase.

COMAND automatically switches back to full-
screen display.
Lane recommendations
Overview
On multilane roads, COMAND can display
lane recommendations for the next change of
direction. The corresponding data must be
available in the digital map.
COMAND displays lane recommendations
B , based on the next two changes of
direction. The number of lanes applies to the
point at which the next change of direction is
required.

blue circle);Point of the change of direction after next=Next change of direction (in this case, turn

Using car pool lanes
COMAND displays car pool lanes if you have
selected this option in the route options
( Y page 136).
If this is the case, COMAND checks whether
there are any car pool lanes on the route. If
there are, they are taken into account during
route calculation. Route guidance will then
include car pool lanes.
Car pool lanes may only be used under certain
conditions. Please observe the relevant legal
requirements.
