G
For safety reasons, you should only enter a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger
should enter the destination. Study manual
and select route before driving.
Do not watch display screen or operate but-
tons while the vehicle is in motion - let navi-
gation announcements guide you. Stop at a
safe location before using buttons or mak-
ing corrections.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recommendations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximate-
ly 14 m) every second.
The route calculated by COMAND is a rec-
ommendation on how to best reach your se-
lected destination.
During route guidance, you will not receive
any information on
