Off-road
General notes
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. The status and
navigability of off-road routes may be influ-
enced 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
