Displays during route guidance
Change of direction Changes of direction have three phases:
R preparation phase
R announcement phase
R change-of-direction phase
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, e.g. with the announcement "Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announcement phase. Route guidance

Lane recommendations

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 only in this lane.
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 mul-
tifunction 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. Route guidance

General notes 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 appro- priateness for use may be affected by various 112
Route guidanceNavigation

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 guidance to an off-road destina-
tion COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area of the digital map,
but which are not themselves 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 the off-road destina-
tion. You will hear the announcement: "Please follow the arrow on the display". As the vehi-
cle approaches the destination, you will see a
display to this effect.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on
the digital map, but the map does not contain
any information about that 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
Road Not Mapped
Road Not Mapped message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The arrow
shows the compass heading to the actual
destination.
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 then see the Road
Road Not Not
Mapped
Mapped message, an arrow and the distance
to the destination. The direction arrow shows
the compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way. Real-time traffic reports
