Important safety notes
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and 88
Route guidanceNavigation

regulations always have priority over system
driving recommendations.
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R merging lanes
R parking or stopping in a no parking/no
stopping zone
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
R narrow bridges
COMAND may give differing navigation
commands 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
regulations always have priority over the
system's driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (Y page 78).
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 the
display is switched to navigation mode.
If you do not follow the navigation
announcements 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:
R during route guidance, COMAND tries to
avoid roads with restricted access. Those
roads, for example, that are closed to
through-traffic.
R roads 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. Route guidance

Displays during route guidance
Change of direction Changes of direction have three phases:
R preparation phase
R announcement phase
R change-of-direction phase
i Changes in direction are also shown in the multifunction display (see the vehicle Operator's
Manual).
Preparation phase: COMAND prepares you for the upcoming change of direction. Based on
the example display below, the change of direction is announced by the "Prepare to turn right
message", for instance. You see the full-screen map.
Announcement phase: COMAND announces the imminent change of direction. The change
of direction is announced ahead of time, such as with the announcement "Turn right in
200 meters".
The display is now split into two sectors. The map is shown on the left side of the display, and
a detailed image of the intersection or a 3D image of the imminent change of direction is
shown on the right side of the display. 0043
Next road
0044 Point at which the change of direction takes place (white dot)
0087 Change of direction (turn right here)
0085 Distance to the next change of direction
Change-of-direction phase: COMAND announces the immediate change of direction. The
change of direction is announced ahead of time, such as with the announcement "Turn right
in 100 feet".
The display is split in two like in the announcement phase. 90
Route guidanceNavigation

The change of direction is performed when the light-color bar on the right drops down to
0 ft and the current vehicle position symbol has reached the white change-of-direction point.
When the change of direction is completed, the map will appear in full screen mode again. The image shows an example of route guidance at a freeway intersection when driving on a
freeway. Route guidance

Lane recommendations
0043
Lanes not recommended (dark gray)
0044 Possible lane (light gray)
0087 Recommended lanes (white)
If the digital map contains the relevant data, COMAND can display lane recommendations on
multilane roads for the next change of direction.
Lane not recommended 0043: you will not be able to complete the next change of direction if
you stay in this lane.
Possible lane 0044: you will be able to complete the next change of direction in this lane only.
Recommended lane 0087: in this lane you will be able to complete the next change of direction
and the one after that.
COMAND shows the lane recommendations for the next two changes of direction. The
multifunction display also shows lane recommendations (see the vehicle Operator's Manual). 0043
Approaching new lane
During the change of direction, new lanes may be added. These will be shown in the display
of lane recommendations with a lower boundary line. 92
