R other road and traffic rules and regulations
R narrow bridges Route guidance

Route guidance to a destination that is
not on a digitized road Example: route guidance to an off-road destination
0043 Off-road destination
0044 Off-road route section (blue dashes)
0087 Current vehicle position (the tip of the tri-
angle indicates the vehicle’s direction of
travel)
0085 Off-road (if available)
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 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
split-screen view. On the right, an arrow
appears that points to off-road destina-
tion 0043. You will hear the announcement:
"Please follow the arrow on the display". As
the vehicle approaches the destination, the
Area of destination reached
Area of destination reached message
appears.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination If the vehicle position is within the area cov-
ered by the digital map, but the map does not
contain any information about that location,
the vehicle is in an off-road location. COMAND is also able to guide you to a des-
tination even from an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the Off Mapped Road Off Mapped Road message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The arrow
shows the compass heading to the actual
destination.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from
the last recognized street the vehicle was on
before it left the map.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance contin- ues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map loca-
tion to a destination If the vehicle position is outside the area cov-
ered by the digital map, then the vehicle is in an off-map location. COMAND is also able to
guide you to a destination even from an off-
map location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Off Mapped Road Off Mapped Road message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The direction
arrow shows the compass heading to the des- tination.
The route is highlighted in blue from the near- est road known to the system.
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 works, 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 see the Off Mapped Off Mapped
Road
Road message, an arrow and the distance to
the destination. The direction arrow shows
the compass heading to the destination. 98
