WARNING
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
appropriateness for use may be affected by
various 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 a destination that is not

COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area of the digital map,
but which are not themselves recorded 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
navigation 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 off-road
destination 0043. You will hear the
announcement: "Please follow the arrow on
