Your COMAND equipment
These operating instructions describe all the
standard and optional equipmen tfor your
COMAND system, as available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific differences
are possible. Please note that your COMAND
system may not be equipped with all the
features described. Introduction
Important safety notes

WARNING
If you operate information systems and
communication equipment integrated in the
vehicle 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
equipment 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
destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way 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
commands 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
regulations always have priority over the
system'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
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 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
reception .Incertain 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.
i Using roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone,
satellite radio, GPS).
Entry restriction On vehicles for certain countries, there is a
restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed
of above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). As
soon as the speed falls below approximately 60

Route guidance inactive: no destination
has been entered yet and no route has been
calculated yet. You can select the following route types:
R
Fast Route :C
OMAND calculates a route

R Dynamic Traffic Route : same route
type as Fast Route .Ina
ddition, COMAND
takes into account any relevant traffic
reports received during route guidance.
The navigation system can help you avoid
a traffic jam, for example, by recalculating
the route.
R Dynamic TRF. Route After Request :
same route type as Dynamic Route . After
recalculating the route, COMAND asks you
whether you want to adopt the new route
or whether you want to continue along the
original route.
R Eco Route : the
Eco Route (economical
route) is a variant of the Fast Route type.
COMAND will attempt to minimize the
journey distance at the expense of a slightly
increased journey time.
R Short Route :C
OMAND calculates a route
with the shortest possible (minimized)
route distance.
i The route calculated may, for example,
include ferry connections, even if the
Avoid Ferries route option is switched
on.
In some cases, COMAND may not be able
to take all the selected route options into
account, e.g. when calculating particularly
long routes.
X To exit the menu: slide003400120035 the COMAND
controller. Setting the number of persons in the
vehicle for the use of carpool lanes
For route calculation, you can take HOV or
carpool lanes into account.
If you use HOV or carpool lanes, please
observe the applicable laws as well as the
local and time limitation conditions. 62
Basic settingsNavigation

Carpool lanes may only be used under certain
conditions. Normally you can use these lanes
when two or more occupants are traveling in
the vehicle .However, there are lanes that can
only be used when three or four occupants
(e.g. in New York) travel in the vehicle. In
California, lone drivers can use a carpool lane
if their vehicle's emission level or fuel
consumption is below a fixed threshold.
Carpool lanes may be reserved for specific
times (e.g. during the peak period).
Carpool lanes are identified by HOV symbols
on special road signs and by markings on the
road. The road signs may also include the
designation CARPOOL .T
he lanes are arranged
as a separate lane next to the others or are
built as a physically separate lane.
Depending on the setting under Number ofOccupants in Vehicle , COMAND uses
carpool lanes when calculating the route.
COMAND then guides you in and out of
carpool lanes using visual and acoustic
driving directions. X
In the route settings menu, select Numberof Occupants in Vehicle by turning
