Recording the route
General notes
When recording the route, bear in mind the
following:
Rif the SD memory card is inserted, it must
not be removed during recording.
Rif route recording is started manually, it
must be finished manually before COMAND
is switched off (e .g. when the engine is
switched off).
RCOMAND minimizes the number of route
points recorded. Therefore when the recor-
ded route is subsequently commenced, it
may differ from the route that was originally
recorded.

Route guidance
General notes
Always observe the traffic regulations when
driving. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over system driving rec-
ommendations.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rtemporary traffic rules and regulations
COMAND can give differing navigation com-
mands if the actual street/traffic situation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. For example, if the road layout or the
direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 71).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation announcements in the
form of audible navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
Navigation messages guide you during the
journey without distracting you from traffic
conditions or driving. Please always use this
feature instead of consulting the map display
for directions. The symbols or the map display
could distract you from traffic conditions and
driving.
The route guidance displays can be seen if
navigation mode is switched on.
If you do not follow the navigation announce-
ments or if you leave the ca
lculated route,
COMAND automatically calculates a new
route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding information, the following applies:
Rduring route guidance, COMAND tries to
avoid roads with restricted access. These include, for example, roads which are
closed to through-traffic.
Rroads that have time restrictions (e.g.
closed on Sundays and public holidays) are
considered for route guidance on days
when they are open. For this purpose, the
relevant times must be correctly stored in
the database.
Change of direction
Overview
Changes of direction have three phases:
RPreparation phase
RAnnouncement phase
RChange-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the
multifunction display of the instrument clus-
ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
change of direction, e.g. with the announce-
ment "Prepare to turn right". You see the full-
screen map.
Announcement phase
:Point at which the change of direction
takes place (white dot)
;Change of direction (turn right here)
=Distance to the next change of direction
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. The change of direction is
Route guidance87
Navigation
Z

announced ahead of time, with the announce-
ment "Turn right in 300 meters", for example.
The display is now split into two sectors. The
map is shown on the left side of the display,
and a detailed image of the intersection or a
3D image of the imminent change of directionis shown on the right side of the display.
Change-of-direction phase
COMAND announces an imminent change of
direction. The change of direction is
announced ahead of time, e.g. with the
announcement "Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announce-
ment phase.
The change of direction is performed when
the light-colored bar on the right drops down
to 0 ft and the current vehicle position symbol
has reached the white change-of-direction
point.
When the change of direction is completed,
the map will appear in full screen mode again.
Display on highways
The image shows an example of route guid-
ance at a highway intersection when driving
on a highway.
Lane recommendations
Display on multi-lane roads
:Lanes not recommended (dark gray)
;Possible lane (light gray)
=Recommended lanes (white)
If the digital map contains the relevant data,
COMAND can display lane recommendations
on multi-lane roads for the next change of
direction.
Lane not recommended :: you will not be
able to complete the next change of direction
if you stay in this lane.
Possible lane ;: you will be able to complete
the next change of direction in this lane.
Recommended lane =: in this lane you will
be able to complete the next change of direc-
tion and the one after that.
Lane recommendations are also shown in the
multifunction display of the instrument clus-
ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).

Off-road
General notes
The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of traversing without damag-
ing your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is the
driver’s sole responsibility to determine the
suitability of the route. The status and navi-
gability of off-road routes may be influenced
by various factors such as time of day, time of
year and current weather conditions. The
COMAND system is unable to assess these
factors or take them into consideration.
Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion
COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area of the digital map,
but which are not themselves on the map.
These destinations are known 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 navi-
gation announcements and displays on roads
known to the system.
If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part
of the digital map, the display appears as a
Route guidance93
Navigation
Z

split-screen view. On the right, an arrow
appears that points to the off-road destina-
tion. You hear the announcement: "Please
follow the arrow on the display". As the vehi-
cle approaches the destination, you will see a
display to this effect.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination
Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on
the digital map, but the map does not containany information about that location.
COMAND is able to guide you to a destination
even from an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Road Not Mapped
message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The arrow
shows the compass heading to the actual
destination.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance contin-
ues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
Due to road construction, 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 temporarily be unable to locate the vehicle position on the
digital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off-
road position.
In the display, you will then see the Road
Not
Mappedmessage, an arrow and the distance
to the destination. The direction arrow shows
the compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Real-time traffic reports
Prerequisites
This function is currently not available for
Canada. In order to receive real-time traffic reports via
satellite radio, you need to subscribe to SIR-
IUS XM Satellite Radio Traffic Message Ser-
vice.
Further information on satellite radio
(
Ypage 172).
COMAND can receive traffic reports via sat-
ellite radio and take account of these for
route guidance in the navigation system.
Received traffic reports are displayed on the
map either as text or as symbols.
Real-time traffic reports on the map
COMAND can show certain traffic messages
on the map with symbols (type of incident)
and color lines (extent). Traffic reports are
shown on the map at scales of 1/32 mi to
10 mi.
When :is displayed, traffic reports can be
received or traffic reports are available. If it is
not displayed, no reception is possible.
