Important notes

Important notes
WarningG
For safety reasons, you should only enter a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger
should enter the destination. Study manual
and select route before driving.
Do not watch display screen or operate but-
tons while the vehicle is in motion - let voice
instructions guide you. Stop at a safe locati-
on before using buttons or making correc-
tions.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recomm endations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car is co-
vering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
The route calculated by COMAND is a re-
commendation on how to best reach your
selected destination.
During route guidance, you will not receive
any information on
Traffic lights
Stop and yield signs
Parking or stopping zones
One-way streets
Narrow bridges
Similar traffic regulation data
You should therefore always strictly observe
traffic regulations while driving. Drive care-
fully and always obey tr affic laws and road
signs even if they contradict COMAND in-
structions.
WarningG
The Navigation DVD module contains a
Class 1 laser product. There is a danger of
invisible laser radiation if the cover is ope-
ned or damaged.
Do not remove the cover. The Navigation
DVD module does not contain any parts ser-
viceable by the user. For safety reasons,
have any necessary service work performed
only by qualif ied personnel.

provided.”
Route guidance within a partially
digitized area
If you start route guidance in this type of
area, you will hear the following
announcements:
“You are currently in an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.”
“Please follow the arrow on the
display.” Route guidance is provided by means of a
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination. COMAND will
not generate automatic navigation
announcements.
If you try to repeat the current voice
instruction manually, (
page 151) you will
hear the announcement “You are currently
in an area where turn by turn guidance
cannot be provided.”.
During route guidance, the display is
divided. On the right-hand side you will see
the direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination.
On the left-hand side of the display you will
see the map with the suggested route. The
suggested route is highlighted blue.
However, it may not be possible to follow
the suggested route because, for example,
the road is closed or not open for car
traffic. 1

Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion
COMAND can guide you to destinations
within the area covered by the digital map,
even if a destination is not located at a
road known to the system.
These destinations are shown 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 navigation announce-
ments and displays on roads known to the
system.
Shortly before you reach the last known
point in the digitized road network, you will
hear the announcement “The destination
is nearby. Follow the arrow on the display”.
You will then see an arrow that indicates
the direction to the off-road destination.
When the off-road destination is close to
the road, “Area of dest. reached” appears
in addition below the arrow. The section of the route from the last
known point on the map to the off-road
destination is highlighted blue. It simply
shows the direction to the off-road
destination without taking into account
any type of obstacles in the way.

WarningG
The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of trav ersing through without
damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver's sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the ro ute. Off-road routes
may be of varying cond itions and their ap-
propriateness for use may be affected by va-
rious factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
cannot be judged or taken into considerati-
on by the COMAND system.
