i COMAND uses the time set in COMAND
as the basis for calculating the estimated
arrival time. For this reason, the clock must
be set correctly in COMAND
(Y page 161). The calculation of the esti-
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
You can use Route info to display an over-
view and to view information and details
about each section of the route.
X Select RouteQRoute info in map view
with the menu system displayed
(Y page 127).
At the top of the display, you will see infor-
mation about the highlighted route section,
for example the road and the distance to be
driven on the road.
The highlighted route section is marked in
white with a red border on the map.

tion: select NextorPrevious.

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
:
Icon concerning an incident on the route:
in this example, a traffic jam

bols ;to highlight the entire section of the

that the information matches the data on
the digital map. The country in the address
book can be written as follows so that it
matches the data on the digital map:
R Country name spelled in the language of
that country
R Country name spelled in the language set
as the system language
R Country name as an international coun-
try abbreviation for vehicles (e.g. D for Germany, E for Spain, F for France, I for
Italy, etc.)
X COMAND stores the entry as My address
in the destination memory if the address
data is complete and matches the digital
map data.
If address data is missing or if it does not
match the data on the digital map, a mes-
sage will be displayed informing you that
the address is incomplete.
X To close the message: selectOK.
Depending on which data is missing or does
not correspond with the digital map data, you
must now:
R select a country (Y page 136)

R enter a house number (Y page 140)
If the data is complete and it matches the
digital map data, COMAND stores the entry. Storing a destination in the destina-
tion memory
