G
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 recommendations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car is co-
vering a distance of 50 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 traffic laws and road
signs even if they contradict COMAND in-
structions.
