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)

The arrow shows the compass heading to the
actual destination. The route is highlighted
blue from the nearest road known to the sys-
tem. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance contin-
ues in the usual way.
Off-road position during route guidance Due to road construction work, for example,
there may be differences between the data
on the digital map and the actual course of
the road. In such cases, the system will tem-
porarily be unable to locate the vehicle posi-
tion on the digital map and thus considers the
vehicle to be in an off-road position. The Off
road message and an arrow indicating the
compass heading to the destination appear in
the display. As soon as the system can assign
the vehicle position to the map again, route
guidance continues in the usual way. Navigation announcements

muted during a telephone call.
