Important safety notes

WARNING
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R merging lanes
R parking or stopping in a no parking/no
stopping zone
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
R narrow bridges
COMAND can give incorrect navigation
commands if the actual street/traffic
situation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. For example, a route may have
been diverted or the direction of a one-way
street may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over the system's driving
recommendations. Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (Y
page 62).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation announcements in the
form of audible navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can only be seen
if the display is switched to navigation mode.
If you do not follow the navigation
announcements or if you leave the calculated
route, COMAND automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
R when selecting a route, COMAND tries to
avoid roads that only have limited access,
e.g. roads closed to through traffic.
R roads 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. Displays during route guidance
Change of direction Changes of direction have three phases:
R
Preparation phase
R Announcement phase
R Change-of-direction phase Route guidance

In the example, the
Now turn right
Now turn right
announcement is made 150 ft. before the
change of direction.
The display is split into two halves, as in the
announcement phase.
Once the change of direction is completed,
COMAND automatically switches back to full-
screen display.

On multi-lane roads, COMAND can display
lane recommendations for the next change of
direction. The corresponding data must be
available in the digital map.
COMAND displays lane recommendation 006B,
based on the next two changes of direction.
The number of lanes applies to the point at
which the next change of direction is
required.

recommendations.

WARNING
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 appropriateness 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 consideration
by the COMAND system.

COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area of the digital map,
but which are not themselves recorded 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
navigation 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
split-screen view. On the right, an arrow
appears that points to off-road

announcement: "Please follow the arrow on
