tionCOMAND can guide you to destinations
within the area covered by the digital m ap,

road known to the system.
These destinations are shown as off-road

ments and displays on roads known to the
system.

point in the digitized road network, you will
hear the announcement “The destination is
nearby. Follow the arrow on the display”.

the direction to the off-road destination.
When the off-road destination is close to
the road,
Area of dest. reached appears in ad-
dition 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

WarningG
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.
