Route guidance
General notes
Always observe the traffic regulations when
driving. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over system driving rec-
ommendations.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rtemporary traffic rules and regulations
COMAND can give differing navigation com-
mands if the actual street/traffic situation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. For example, if the road layout or the
direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 71).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation announcements in the
form of audible navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
Navigation messages guide you during the
journey without distracting you from traffic
conditions or driving. Please always use this
feature instead of consulting the map display
for directions. The symbols or the map display
could distract you from traffic conditions and
driving.
The route guidance displays can be seen if
navigation mode is switched on.
If you do not follow the navigation announce-
ments or if you leave the ca
lculated route,
COMAND automatically calculates a new
route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding information, the following applies:
Rduring route guidance, COMAND tries to
avoid roads with restricted access. These include, for example, roads which are
closed to through-traffic.
Rroads 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.
Change of direction
Overview
Changes of direction have three phases:
RPreparation phase
RAnnouncement phase
RChange-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the
multifunction display of the instrument clus-
ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
change of direction, e.g. with the announce-
ment "Prepare to turn right". You see the full-
screen map.
Announcement phase

takes place (white dot)
