Route guidance
General notes
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
The navigation system can give differing driv-
ing recommendations 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.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg-
ulations always have priority over system
driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 69).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation announcements in the
form of audible navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
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 calculated 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
a
void roads with restricted access. Those
roads, for example, that 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.

The update can only be performed:
Rat an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
Rfor map data for North America
The map software is not provided on DVD.
Carrying out a manual update
After the free update of the map data has
expired or when buying map data, you can
update the data yourself.
The update process may take some time (up
to 45 minutes), depending on the size of the
digital map. The update will be completed
more quickly if the vehicle is stationary. If you
start the update with the engine switched off
and the starter battery has insufficient power,
COMAND may automatically switch off. This
protects the battery. In order to prevent this,
a suitable power supply to the vehicle must be
maintained.
