Change of direction
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 the

left message. The display is not split and
shows the map over the full width. :

Announcement phase COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. Based on the example display
below, the change of direction is announced
200 metres before the change of direction
with the
Please take the second turn‐
ing left message.
The display is now split into two sectors. In
the left half, you see the normal map view. In
the right half, there is either an enlarged view
of the area surrounding the junction (crossing
zoom) or simply a symbol for the next change
of direction.

Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion COMAND can also guide you to destinations
which are not stored on the map. These are
off-road destinations. You can enter these, for
example, by entering the destination using
the map.
In these cases, COMAND guides you for as
long as possible on roads known to the sys-
tem. The section of the route from the last
known point on the map to the off-road des-
tination is indicated with a dashed line. It sim-
ply shows the direction to the off-road desti-
nation without taking account of any obsta-
cles in the way. :

Shortly before you reach the last known point
on the map, you will see the message Area

tional arrow shows the compass heading to
the destination.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination The vehicle is in an off-road position if the
digital map does not contain any information
regarding the vehicle position. COMAND is
also able to guide you to a destination even
from such a location. The requirement for this
is that the vehicle position is within the area
covered by the digital map. At the start of
route guidance, you will see the
Off road
message and an arrow. The arrow shows the
compass heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue from the nearest
road known to the system. As soon as the
vehicle is back on a road known to the sys-
tem, route guidance continues in the usual
way.
Route guidance from an off-map loca-
tion to a destination If the vehicle position is outside the area cov-
ered by the digital map, then the vehicle is in

The arrow shows the compass heading to the
actual destination. The route is highlighted
blue from the nearest road known to the sys-
tem. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance contin-
ues in the usual way.
Off-road position during route guidance Due to road construction work, for example,
there may be differences between the data
on the digital map and the actual course of
the road. In such cases, the system will tem-
porarily be unable to locate the vehicle posi-
tion on the digital map and thus considers the
vehicle to be in an off-road position. The Off
road message and an arrow indicating the
compass heading to the destination appear in
the display. As soon as the system can assign
the vehicle position to the map again, route
guidance continues in the usual way. Navigation announcements
i Audible navigation announcements are
muted during a telephone call.
If you have missed an announcement, you can
call up the current announcement at any
time.
X To call up a current announcement:

the multi-function steering wheel.
i The announcements remain switched
off even if you start a new route guidance
or if COMAND is switched off and on with

automatically switched back on if you
switch COMAND off by removing the key from the ignition lock and then switch the
ignition back on after more than 3 minutes.

as the basis for calculating the estimated
arrival time. For this reason, the clock must
be set correctly in COMAND

mated time of arrival does not additionally
take into account whether summer time or
standard time is applicable at the destina-
tion. If the destination is in a different time
zone, time of arrival ;orB is displayed
for the time set on the vehicle. The distance
to destination, estimated time of arrival and
estimated remaining driving time are not
shown until the route calculation is com-
plete. Displaying route information

view and to view information and details
about each section of the route.

Navigation* (route guidance with
RDS-TMC) Introduction to RDS-TMC
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits free-of-
charge RDS-TMC traffic reports in addition to
the radio programme. COMAND can receive
the RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them
into consideration for dynamic route guid-
ance. Thus, for example, the navigation sys-
tem can guide you around a traffic jam.
In Germany, COMAND uses top-quality traffic
data provided by T-Systems Traffic for the
TMCpro traffic jam warning service. This
information is available nationwide and 24
hours a day. In contrast to the public TMC
service, TMCpro uses reports from public
sources. Moreover, TMCpro utilises exclusive
data from its own automated sensor network
for monitoring traffic conditions. The traffic
announcements which are read over public
radio stations (TA) may differ from TMCpro
traffic announcements. Dynamic route guidance
The Dynamic route is the same type of route
as the Fast route. In addition, COMAND
takes RDS-TMC traffic announcements that
have been received into consideration 23
when calculating the route for dynamic route
guidance. If a quicker route is determined due
to reception of an RDS-TMC traffic announce-
ment, the navigation system changes the
route. If possible, it will bypass blockages.
X To switch on: setDynamic route as the
route type 23
.
Proceed as described in the "Setting the
route type" section (Y page 131).
X To switch off: select a different route type.
i COMAND calculates a new route if you
change the route type setting with route
guidance active. If you change the route
type setting when route guidance is inac- tive, COMAND uses the new setting for the
next route guidance.
If TMCpro is received, this is indicated by the
TMCpro symbol at the lower right in the dis-
play.
If a public TMC service is received, the TMC
symbol appears at the lower right in the dis-
play.
If RDS-TMC reception is not possible, no sym-
bol will appear. RDS-TMC displays on the map
COMAND can show certain traffic incidents
on the map. These displays can be seen on
map scales 50 m (0.05 miles) to 50 km (50
miles).
X To set the map scale: turncVduntil the
desired map scale is set.
Turning clockwise enlarges the map, turn-
ing anti-clockwise reduces the map. Example display of a traffic jam on the route
