Partially digitized areasiThe digital map may contain areas that
are only partially digitized although
they are within a digitized region.
Warning
G
Due to incomplete digitization, the route
shown on the map may differ from the actual
road/traffic situation.If you follow the route shown on the map, for
example, it is possible that you could drive
the wrong way down a one-way street or
that a street cannot be driven on.When using route guidance in a partially dig
-
itized area, you must therefore be sure to
observe all relevant traffic regulations and
the course of the road.All relevant traffic regulations and the
course of the road always take priority over
the route shown on the map.

Route guidance
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.
When you leave the last known point in the
digitized road network, direction arrows
showing the compass heading to the desti
-
nation guide you. You will also see the
Di-
rection to destination
display.
Route guidance from an off-road loca
-
tion to a destinationIf there is no road available on map at cur
-
rent position of the car, vehicle is off road.COMAND is also able to guide you to a des
-
tination from such a location.At the start of the route guidance, you will
see the
Off Road
message and a direction
arrow. The direction arrow shows the com
-
pass heading to the actual destination.The route is highlighted blue from the near
-
est road known to the system. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance con
-
tinues in the usual way.
Off-road and off-mapWarning
G
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 ap
-
propriateness 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 consider
-
ation by the COMAND system.
