234 Control systemsCOMAND navigation system (route guidance)Preparation phase
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
driving maneuver. Based on the example
display below, the driving maneuver is an-
nounced with the “Prepare to turn left”
message. The display is not split and
shows the map over the full screen.

takes place (light blue dot)
2Route (highlighted blue)
3Current vehicle position; the triangle
points in the vehicle’s direction of
travelAnnouncement phase
COMAND announces the next driving ma-
neuver. Based on the example display be-
low, the driving maneuver is announced
700 feet in advance with the “Turn left in
700 feet to your destination” message.
The display is divided in two. 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 intersection
(intersection zoom) or simply a symbol for
the next driving maneuver.
The following example illustration shows
the intersection zoom in the right half.1Next road

(airports or highway junctions), you will
hear the announcement “You have reached
the destination area”. In addition, you will
see a corresponding display and route
guidance is automatically ended.

237 Control systems
COMAND navigation system (route guidance)
During route guidance, the display is divid-
ed. On the right-hand side you will see the
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination.
On the left-hand side of the display you will
see the map with the suggested route. The
suggested route is highlighted blue. How-
ever, it may not be possible to follow the
suggested route because, for example, the
road is closed or not open for car traffic.
If, during route guidance, COMAND leads
you back into a fully digitalized area, route
guidance will simply continue in the usual
manner.
Off-road and off-map
Route guidance to an off-road
destination
COMAND can guide you to destinations
within the area covered by the digital map,
even if a destination is not located at a
road known to the system.These destinations are shown as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using
the map, for example.
In these cases, COMAND guides you for as
long as possible with navigation announce-
ments and displays on roads known to the
system.
Shortly before you reach the last known
the point to leave the digitized road net-
work, you will hear the announcement “The
destination is nearby. Follow the arrow on
the display”.
You will then see an arrow that indicates
the direction to the off-road destination.
When the off-road destination is close to
the road, “Area of dest. reached” appears
in addition below the arrow.
The section of the route from the last
known point on the map to the off-road
destination is indicated with a dashed line
after a certain length. It simply shows the
direction to the off-road destination with-
out taking account of any type of obstacles
in the way.Warning!
G
The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of traversing through without
damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver’s sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the route. Off-road routes
may be of varying conditions and their ap-
propriateness for use may be affected by
various factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
cannot be judged or taken into consider-
ation by the COMAND system.

At the start of the route guidance, you will
see the “Off Road” message and a direc-
tion arrow. The direction arrow shows the
compass heading to the actual destina-
tion.
The route is highlighted blue from the near-
est road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance con-
tinues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map loca-
tion to a destination
If the vehicle position is outside the area
covered by the digital map, then the vehi-
cle is in an off-map location.

The route is highlighted blue from the near-

As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance con-
tinues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
The road layout may differ from the data on
the digital map, due to road construction
measures, for example.
In such cases, the system cannot allocate
the vehicle’s position to the digital map
and the vehicle is therefore in an off-road
position.
The “Off Road” message and an arrow
showing the compass heading to the desti-
nation appear on the display.
As soon as the system can allocate the ve-
hicle position’s to the map again, route
guidance continues in the usual way.

The buttons for seat ventilation are located
on the respective door. The blue indicator
lamps on the button come on show the
ventilation level selected.

The seat ventilation for the driver’s seat can
be activated using summer opening feature
(
page 404).
i
If one or more of the lamps on the seat ven-
tilation button are flashing, there is insufficient
voltage available since too many electrical con-
sumers are turned on. The seat ventilation
switches off automatically.
The seat ventilation will switch back on again au-
tomatically as soon as sufficient voltage is avail-
able.Warning!
G
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust the head restraint so that it is as
close to the head as possible and the center
of the head restraint supports the back of
the head at eye level. This will reduce the po-
tential for injury to the head and neck in the
event of an accident or similar situation.
Do not drive the vehicle without the seat
head restraints. Head restraints are intend-
ed to help reduce injuries during an acci-
dent.

473 Controls in detail
Driving systems
Use Advanced Parking Guidance for park-
ing spaces that are

parallel to the direction of travel


located on straight streets, i.e. not in
curves


on the same level as the street, i.e. not
on sidewalks, for example. Flat curbs
may possibly not be detected by Ad-
vanced Parking Guidance.
Parking instructions:


On narrow streets, drive by the parking
space as close as possible.


Parking spaces that are dirty, over-
grown or located in front of trailers may
not be detected correctly.


Also observe the Park Assist warning
indicator (
page 470) while Advanced
Parking Guidance is active.


How well your vehicle will be parked af-
ter completion of the Advanced Park-
ing Guidance depends on the position
and shape of the vehicles parked in
front of and behind the parking space
as well as the conditions of the imme-
diate surroundings. In certain cases,
Advanced Parking Guidance may guide
you too far into the parking space or
not far enough. If this is the case, can-
cel the parking procedure with Ad-
vanced Parking Guidance and correct
the vehicle position yourself.Detecting a parking space
Advanced Parking Guidance is active when
driving forward. The system operates at a
vehicle speed of up to 25 mph (40 km/h)
and automatically scans for and measures
potential parking spaces on both sides of
the vehicle. At a vehicle speed of below
10 mph (16 km/h), you see the white
parking space symbol as a system display
in the instrument cluster. As soon as Ad-
vanced Parking Guidance has detected a
suitable parking space, the parking space
symbol changes to blue.

Advanced Parking Guidance is only an aid
and may not detect all obstacles. At corners
or near smooth surfaces, Advanced Parking
Guidance may not detect an object correct-
ly. Advanced Parking Guidance does not re-
lieve you of the responsibility to pay
attention. You are always responsible for
safety and must continue to pay attention to
your immediate surroundings when parking
and maneuvering. Otherwise, you could en-
danger yourself and others.
