COMAND may give differing navigation com-
mands 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 reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been calculated (Y page 69).
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 announce- ments 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. Displays during route guidance
Change of direction Changes of direction have three phases:

Notes If you have activated COMAND and the SD
memory card has been inserted, you should
not take it out of the slot.
You can store up to 100 routes.
When you record a route, COMAND uses so-
called support points and displays the route
as a series of lines. If the route is then calcu-
lated, COMAND attempts to align the recor-
ded route with the digital map.
The support points of the route may not be on
a digitized road.
This is often the case for routes that have
been calculated using map data from other
sources. Route guidance

Introduction
While the telephone is being used, COMAND
stores individual lists for both incoming and
outgoing calls (including missed calls). Call
lists are not available unless a mobile phone is connected to COMAND.
COMAND supports the PBAP Bluetooth ®
pro-
file. How COMAND processes call lists
depends on the model of the mobile phone
connected:
R Bluetooth ®
telephone with PBAP Blue-
tooth ®
profile:
The call lists are downloaded automatically from the mobile phone by COMAND as
soon as the mobile phone is connected to
COMAND.
R Bluetooth ®
telephone without PBAP Blue-
tooth ®
profile:
COMAND creates the call lists from both
incoming and outgoing calls (including
missed calls) as soon as the mobile phone
is connected to COMAND.
i For Bluetooth ®
telephones without the
PBAP Bluetooth ®
profile, the call lists in
COMAND are not synchronized with those
on your mobile phone. These calls may or may not be listed on your mobile phone,
depending on the model.
i If no mobile phone is connected, then the
Call Lists
Call Lists menu item is grayed out and
cannot be selected. If you connect a mobile phone other than the previous one to
COMAND, the previously available call listsand their entries will be deleted automati-
cally. They are still available on the mobile
phone itself.
i You will only be able to select the respec-
tive menu items once calls have been
received or dialed from COMAND.
