COMAND uses the time set in COMAND as
the basis for calculating the estimated arrival
time. The clock must be set correctly in
COMAND (
page 213). The calculation of the
estimated arrival time does not additionally take
into account whether Daylight Saving Time or
standard time is applicable at the destination. If
the destination is in a different time zone, arrival
time display 8
is in local time. This is indicated
by “LT” in the display.
The following data cannot be seen until the route
calculation has been completed:
Distance to destination

Estimated arrival time
8
Estimated remaining travel time

If the destination is located within a partially dig-
itized area, the following data may differ from the
facts:

thorized devices, you must revoke authorization
for one of the authorized devices. Then you must
switch this device off and then restart the
search. Any new devices for which you would like
to search will otherwise not appear in the list.
i
The passkey is any one to sixteen-digit num-
ber which you can set yourself. You must enter
the same number in COMAND and also in the de-
vice to be authorized.
i
On devices which do not have an input key-
pad (e.g. headsets), the passkey is predeter-
mined. In this case, it is not necessary to enter
the number on the device itself. You will usually
find the passkey in the operating instructions for
the device.
