Navigation
Introduction
Safety notes
GWARNING
For safety reasons, 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.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the
following:
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
GWARNING
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map does
not correspond with the actual road/traffic
situation. Digital maps do not cover all areas
nor all routes within an area. 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.
GWARNING
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
consulting the map display for directions.
Looking at the icons or map display can
distract you from traffic conditions and
driving, and increase the risk of an accident.
General information
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
Correct functioning of the navigation system
depends, amongst other things, on GPS
reception. In certain situations, GPS
reception may be impaired, there may be
interference or there may be no reception at
all, e.g. in tunnels or parking garages.
Entry restriction
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a
restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed
of over approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). As
soon as 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 functions, for example, may
therefore not be available while the vehicle is
in motion:
R entering the destination city and street
R entering a destination via the map
R entering points of interest in the vicinity of
a city or via a name search
R editing entries
R using the number keypad for direct entry
138NavigationCOMAND

You can select the following route options:
R Use Carpool Lanes
R Minimize highways
R Minimize Toll Roads
R Minimize Tunnels
R Minimize Ferries
R Minimize Motorail Trains
If you select route options with a tick, the
corresponding types of roads will be avoided
in the route guidance where possible.XTo activate navigation mode: press the
S function button once or twice.XTo show the menu: press W the COMAND
controller.XSelect Navi in the main function bar by

The ä icon indicates the current setting.XSelect the route option(s) and press W to
confirm.
The route options are switched on O or off
ª , depending on the previous status.
i
If you change the route type and/or the
route options while route guidance is active
(the route has been calculated), COMAND
will calculate a new route.
If you change the route type and/or the
route options while route guidance is
inactive (no destination has been entered
yet), COMAND uses the new setting for the
next route guidance.
i The route calculated may, for example,
include ferry connections, even if the
Minimize Ferries route option is
switched on.
In some cases, e.g. when calculating
particularly long routes, COMAND may not
be able to take all the selected route
options into account. A note then appears
in the COMAND display.XTo exit the menu: slide XVY the COMAND
controller.

Route guidance
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 143).
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,
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 173).
Announcement phase
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. With reference to the following
example display, the announcement is given
154NavigationCOMAND

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.
Example display: change-of-direction phase
:Current vehicle position: the tip of the
triangle indicates the vehicle’s direction
of travel;Graphic representation of the distance to
the next change of direction=Distance to the next change of direction
Once the change of direction is completed,
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.
