Announcement phase
COMAND announces the imminent driving
maneuver. Based on the example display
shown below, the announcement is made
900 ft. ahead of the driving maneuver us-
ing “Please turn right in 900 ft. and follow
the ’road name’.”.
i The announced distance to the maneuver
depends on the class of road and its speed limit.
The display is now split in two. The normal
map display is shown in the left-hand half.
In the right-hand half is either an enlarged
detail of the area around the junction
(junction zoom) or a 3D image generated
for the course of the road with the route for
the next driving maneuver drawn in
(
page 150).The example illustrated below shows the
junction zoom in the right-hand half.

left-hand and right-hand display)
i The solid part of the visual distance indicator
3 reduces from bottom to top as the an-
nounced driving maneuver gets closer.

Route guidance
i When calculating the estimated time of ar-
rival, COMAND uses the time set on the CO-
MAND as its basis. For this reason, the time on
COMAND must be set correctly (
page 165).
The calculation of the estimated time of arrival
does not specifically take into consideration
whether it is summer time or standard time at
the destination. It is not taken into consideration
whether or not the destination is in a different
time zone.
The distance to the destination, the estimated
time of arrival and the estimated remaining jour-
ney time 1, 5 are not displayed until the route
calculation is complete.
To close destination information:
Slide omp.
or
Press the í button.
