136 Navigation*Route guidanceIf the destination is within a partially
digitized areaCOMAND guides you through fully digitized
areas for as long as possible. Route guid
-
ance is conducted in the usual manner, i.e.
with navigation announcements and route
guidance displays. Before the vehicle reaches a partially digi
-
tized area, COMAND notifies you of this
with the following announcements:
“Be prepared to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provid
-
ed.”

“In 700
feet you will enter an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.”

“You are about to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provid
-
ed.”
Route guidance within a partially digi
-
tized areaIf you start route guidance in this type of
area, you will hear the following announce
-
ment: “You are currently in an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provided.”
Route guidance is provided by means of a
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination. COMAND will
not generate automatic navigation an
-
nouncements.If you try to call up or repeat an announce
-
ment manually,
( page

you will hear
the announcement “You are currently in an
area where turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.“.During route guidance, the display is divid
-
ed. On the right-hand side you will see the
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination.On the left-hand side of the display you will
see the map with the suggested route. The
suggested route is highlighted blue. How
-
ever, it may not be possible to follow the
suggested route because, for example, the
road is closed or not open for car traffic.If, during route guidance, COMAND leads
you back into a fully digitized area, route
guidance will simply continue in the usual
manner.
iThe indicated distance can be seen
here by way of example. In reality, it
may be different.
iWhen you call up the info menu to this
type of destination,

Route guidance to an off-road destina
-
tion
COMAND can guide you to destinations
within the area covered by the digital map,
even if a destination is not located at a
road known to the system.These destinations are shown as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using
the map, for example.In these cases, COMAND guides you for as
long as possible with navigation announce
-
ments and displays on roads known to the
system.Shortly before you reach the last known
point in the digitized road network, you will
hear the announcement “The destination is
nearby. Follow the arrow on the display”.You will then see an arrow that indicates
the direction to the off-road destination.
When the off-road destination is close to
the road,
Area of dest. reached
appears
in addition 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
Di-
rection to destination
display.
Route guidance from an off-road loca
-
tion to a destinationIf there is no road available on map at cur
-
rent position of the car, vehicle is off road.COMAND is also able to guide you to a des
-
tination from such a location.At the start of the route guidance, you will
see the
Off Road
message and a direction
arrow. The direction arrow shows the com
-
pass heading to the actual destination.The route is highlighted blue from the near
-
est road known to the system. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance con
-
tinues in the usual way.
Off-road and off-mapWarning
G
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.

tion to a destinationIf the vehicle position is outside the area
covered by the digital map, then the vehi

cle is in an off-map location.COMAND is also able to guide you to a des

tinues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidanceThe road layout may differ from the data on
the digital map, due to road construction
measures, for example.In such cases, the system cannot allocate
the vehicle’s position to the digital map
and the vehicle is therefore in an off-road
position.The
Off Road
message and an arrow show

tion appear on the display.As soon as the system can allocate the ve
-
hicle position’s to the map again, route
guidance continues in the usual way.
