Navigation* (route guidance with
RDS-TMC) Introduction to RDS-TMC
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits free-of-
charge RDS-TMC traffic reports in addition to
the radio programme. COMAND can receive
the RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them
into consideration for dynamic route guid-
ance. Thus, for example, the navigation sys-
tem can guide you around a traffic jam.
In Germany, COMAND uses top-quality traffic
data provided by T-Systems Traffic for the
TMCpro traffic jam warning service. This
information is available nationwide and 24
hours a day. In contrast to the public TMC
service, TMCpro uses reports from public
sources. Moreover, TMCpro utilises exclusive
data from its own automated sensor network
for monitoring traffic conditions. The traffic
announcements which are read over public
radio stations (TA) may differ from TMCpro
traffic announcements. Dynamic route guidance
The Dynamic route is the same type of route
as the Fast route. In addition, COMAND
takes RDS-TMC traffic announcements that
have been received into consideration 23
when calculating the route for dynamic route
guidance. If a quicker route is determined due
to reception of an RDS-TMC traffic announce-
ment, the navigation system changes the
route. If possible, it will bypass blockages.
X To switch on: setDynamic route as the
route type 23
.
Proceed as described in the "Setting the
route type" section (Y page 131).
X To switch off: select a different route type.
i COMAND calculates a new route if you
change the route type setting with route
guidance active. If you change the route
type setting when route guidance is inac- tive, COMAND uses the new setting for the
next route guidance.
If TMCpro is received, this is indicated by the
TMCpro symbol at the lower right in the dis-
play.
If a public TMC service is received, the TMC
symbol appears at the lower right in the dis-
play.
If RDS-TMC reception is not possible, no sym-
bol will appear. RDS-TMC displays on the map
COMAND can show certain traffic incidents
on the map. These displays can be seen on
map scales 50 m (0.05 miles) to 50 km (50
miles).
X To set the map scale: turncVduntil the
desired map scale is set.
Turning clockwise enlarges the map, turn-
ing anti-clockwise reduces the map. Example display of a traffic jam on the route
:

bols ;to highlight the entire section of the

Risk of accident
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle,
they could:
R open a door from the inside at any time,
even if it has been locked
R start the vehicle using a key which has been
left in the vehicle
R release the parking brake
They could thereby endanger themselves and
others. Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle. Always take the key with you
when leaving the vehicle, even if you are only
leaving it for a short time. :
Battery check lamp
; & To lock the vehicle
= F To unlock the boot lid
? % To unlock the vehicle
When unlocking, the turn signals flash once.
When locking, they flash three times.
When it is dark, the surround lighting also
comes on if it is activated in COMAND.
If you do not open either a door or the boot
lid after you have unlocked the vehicle, it will automatically relock after approximately 40
seconds.
KEYLESS GO* You can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using
KEYLESS GO. To do this, you only need carry
the key with you. When you touch the surface
of the sensors on the vehicle's door handles,
KEYLESS GO establishes a radio connection
between the vehicle and the key.
The distance to the vehicle's door handle
from which you wish to lock or unlock the
vehicle must not be greater than 1 m.
When starting the engine and whilst driving,
KEYLESS GO also checks whether a valid key
is in the vehicle by periodically establishing
radio contact. X
To unlock the vehicle: pull the door han-
dle.
X To lock the vehicle: touch sensor sur-
face :.
If you pull on the handle of the boot lid, only
the boot of the vehicle is unlocked.
i If the vehicle has been parked for a long
time, the sensor surfaces are deactivated
automatically.
Pull on the door handle to unlock the door
and switch on the ignition once to reacti-
vate the sensors. 178

sible to close the door. Do not attempt to
force the door to close. You could other-
wise damage the door or the side window. Locking/unlocking the vehicle from
the inside
You can centrally lock or unlock the vehicle
from the inside. This feature may be useful if,
for example, you wish to unlock the front-
passenger door from the inside or lock the
vehicle before you pull away. G
