guidance is ended automatically.
Off-road and Off-map
GWarning
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.
Route Guidance83NavigationZ

Route Guidance to an Off-road
Destination
COMAND can also guide you to destinations
that are within the area covered by the digital
map, but are not themselves included on the
map. Such destinations are off-road
destinations, which you can enter, for
example, by entering the destination via the
map.
In this case, COMAND guides you on roads
known to the system for as long as possible
using navigation announcements and route
guidance displays.
1Off-road destination2Off-road route segment (dashed line)3Current vehicle location, tip of the triangle
points in the vehicle’s direction of travel4Road name, if available
When the vehicle is entering the area that is
not covered by the digital map, the screen is
split. On the right half of the screen an arrow
appears that points to the off-road
destination 1 and the system announces:
You have reached your destination
area. Please follow the arrow on the
display . When the vehicle comes close to
the destination the message You have
reached your destination is given.
Route Guidance from an Off-road
Location to a Destination
If the vehicle location is within the area
covered by the digital map, but the map itself
does not contain any information on the
location, the vehicle is in an off-road position.
COMAND can guide you from such a position
to a destination.
At the start of route guidance you will see the
message Off Mapped Road , an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The arrow
indicates the direction of the actual
destination.
The blue marking for the route on the map
starts from the nearest road known to the
system.
As soon as the vehicle is travelling again on a
road known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual manner.
Route Guidance from an Off-map
Location to a Destination
If the vehicle location is outside the area
covered by the digital map, then the vehicle
is in an off-map position. COMAND can guide
you from such a position to a destination.
At the start of route guidance you will see the
message Off Map, an arrow and the distance
to the destination. The arrow indicates the
direction of the actual destination.
The blue marking for the route on the map
starts from the nearest road known to the
system.
As soon as the vehicle is travelling again on a
road known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual manner.
Off-road During Route Guidance
The actual path of the road may deviate from
the data in the digital map due to road work.
In cases like this, the system is temporarily
not able to locate the vehicle location on the
digital map; the vehicle is thus in an off-road
position.
The display then shows the message Off
Mapped Road , an arrow and the distance to
the destination. The arrow indicates the
direction of the actual destination.

Safety PrecautionsGWarning
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a cellular telephone while driving.
Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety
reasons, the driver should not use the cellular
telephone while the vehicle is in motion. Stop
the vehicle in a safe location before placing or
answering a call.
If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile
phone while driving, please use the handsfree
feature and be sure to pay attention to the
traffic situation at all times. Use the mobile
phone only when road, weather and traffic
conditions permit. Otherwise, you may not be
able to observe traffic conditions and could
endanger yourself and others.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
GWarning
You and others may damage your health due
to excessive electromagnetic radiation. By
using an external antenna, the possible health
risks of electromagnetic fields, which are
under discussion among the scientific
community, should be largely prevented.

Call Lists
i COMAND supports Bluetooth ®
PBAP
(Phone Book Access Profile).
How COMAND handles call lists depends
on the type of mobile phone connected:
R Bluetooth ®
phone with PBAP support:
COMAND downloads the call lists from
the mobile phone when the phone is
connected to COMAND
R Bluetooth ®
phone without PBAP support:
COMAND creates the call lists from calls
received (including missed calls) and
made during phone mode when a mobile
phone is connected to COMAND.
The particular menu item can only be
selected if calls have already been received
or made from COMAND.
The display of missed calls in the COMAND
display is not possible with all mobile
phones.
i The menu item Call lists is not active
if no mobile phone is connected to
COMAND.
i If the mobile phone does not support
PBAP, COMAND automatically deletes the
call lists if a mobile phone other than the
last used is connected.
i The instrument cluster control system
displays a list of the last dialed calls.
i For many operating functions you can
also use the buttons on the multifunction
steering wheel, e.g. the =, ; ,
9 , : , a , 6 or ~ buttons,
for selecting a menu, scrolling through lists
or initiating or ending a call ( Y page 25).
