If your vehicle has been transported by a
car, train or ferry, COMAND may require
some time to find its exact position.
COMAND may issue navigation announce-
ments not suited to your actual position. Moving the vehicle a few yards is typically
enough to remedy the situation.
While determining the exact position ,
route guidance is subject to the following
restrictions:
COMAND does not output navigation
announcements.
The display OFF ROAD and an arrow indi-
cating the direction of the destination
appear instead of the detailed naviga-
tion displays.
Once the system is correctly repositioned,
route guidance continues with navigation
announcements and detailed navigation
displays.
