Warning!
G
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting
your attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Consulting the symbols or map display for
directions may cause you to divert your at-
tention from driving and increase your risk
of an accident.i
If Russian or Chinese is set as the system
language, the navigation announcements are in
English. You will find how to set the system lan-
guage on (
page 216).
Navigation announcements are muted during
telephone calls. You can, however, call up a cur-
rent announcement at any time. You can also
call up a current announcement at any time if
you have missed an announcement.
i
You will find the button programming on
(
page 216).
i
The announcements remain switched off
even if you start a new route guidance or if
COMAND is switched off/on with theo but-
ton.
If you switch COMAND off by removing the
SmartKey from the starter switch and then
switch the ignition back on after more than
3 minutes, the announcements are automatical-
ly switched back on.

the destination memory, you will see
the destination memory list with or

Example illustration: destination memory
list without input charactersIn the destination memory list without in-
put characters, the “My Address” entry is
automatically highlighted.
i
If the navigable address data of the destina-
tion to be deleted has also been assigned to an
address book entry, COMAND deletes the data
there as well. If the corresponding address book
entry does not contain any further data, such as
telephone numbers, COMAND deletes the entire
address book entry.
i
The destination memory always contains an
entry called “My Address”. You can save your
home address, for example, under this entry.


202 Control systemsCOMAND address bookGeneral notes
The address book contains the entries that
are saved in the COMAND address book
memory. The entries are permanently
available even if the phone is not inserted
in the cradle*. When you insert the mobile
phone into the cradle*, COMAND reads-in
the phone book entries saved in the mobile
phone and stores the entries as a separate
list from the COMAND address book. This
list is a copy of the phone’s phone book.
This can take several minutes, depending
on how many entries the phone book and
the address book contain. After the read-in
process, the COMAND compares the
phone book entries with the address book
entries. If all of the telephone numbers of a
phone book entry in the mobile phone are
present in an address book entry, the ad-
dress book shows only the address book
entry. If not, the address book also shows
the phone book entry in the mobile phone.

“Multiple Numbers” instead of a telephone num-
ber.

the address, you can transfer data already en-
tered as an address book entry.
In the address book entry, the town/city and
street must be spelled in the same way as the

map data, its complete name or abbreviation
may be entered.
