Safety notes
G
Risk of accident
For safety reasons, only enter a new destina-
tion when the vehicle is stationary.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R lane narrowing
R other road and traffic controls and regula-
tions
For this reason, you must always observe the
respective road and traffic rules and regula-
tions during your journey. Road and traffic
controls and regulations always have priority
over the navigation announcements gener-
ated by the system. General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system In vehicles for certain countries, the naviga-
tion system is not operational immediately
after delivery because the map software is
not pre-installed there.
If this is the case, you will see the following
message when you switch to navigation
mode:
The map software must be
installed. Please insert the DVD
containing the map software. Navigation system* (introduction)
