Examples of displays and
announcements for a driving
maneuver
Driving maneuvers have three phases:
R Preparation phase
R Announcement phase
R Maneuver phase
Preparation phase COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
driving maneuver. Based on the example
display below, the driving maneuver is
announced with the Prepare to turn
left message. The display is not split and
shows the map over the full screen.
:
Point at which the driving maneuver takes
place (light blue dot)
; Route (highlighted blue)
= Current vehicle position; the triangle
points in the vehicle’s direction of travel
Announcement phase COMAND announces the next driving
maneuver. Based on the example display
below, the driving maneuver is announced
700 feet in advance with the
Turn left in
700 feet to your destination message.
The display is divided in two. In the left half,
you see the normal map view. In the right half,
there is either an enlarged view of the area
surrounding the intersection (intersection
zoom) or simply a symbol for the next driving
maneuver. The following example illustration shows the
intersection zoom in the right half.
:
Next road
; Driving maneuver (turn left)
= Graphical representation of the distance
to the driving maneuver
? Point at which the driving maneuver takes
place (light blue dot, shown in both the left
and right displays)
A Information about distance to the next
driving maneuver
B Route (highlighted in blue; shown in both
the left and right displays)
C Current vehicle position; the triangle
indicates the vehicle’s direction of travel
(shown in both the left and right displays)
D Street on which you are currently driving,
if included on the digital map
E Destination flag
i The filled-in section of distance graphic
= gets shorter the nearer you get to the
announced driving maneuver.
Maneuver phase COMAND announces the next driving
maneuver. Based on the example display
below, the driving maneuver is announced
150 feet in advance with the
Now turn
left message. The display is also split into
two halves, as for the announcement phase.
i Once the maneuver is completed,
COMAND automatically switches back to
the non-split screen. COMAND navigation system (route guidance)

reached
Once you have reached your destination, you
will hear the announcement You have
reached the destination. For certain
POIs (airports or highway junctions), you will
hear the announcement You have reached
the destination area . In addition, you willsee a corresponding display and route
guidance is automatically ended.
:
Destination on the map
; Destination flag
i An additional announcement may sound
for some destinations, for example
selected POIs or destination entries that
include the house number, telling you
whether the destination is on the left or
right side of the street. Partially digitized areas
i The digital map may contain areas that
are only partially attributed. G
Warning!
Due to incomplete digitization, the route
shown on the map may differ from the actual
road/traffic situation.
If you follow the route shown on the map, for
example, it is possible that you could drive the
wrong way down a one-way street or that a
street cannot be driven on.
When using route guidance in a partially
attributed area, you must therefore be sure to
observe all relevant traffic regulations and the
course of the road.
All relevant traffic regulations and the course
of the road always take priority over the route
shown on the map. COMAND navigation system (route guidance)

If the destination is within a partially
digitized area
COMAND guides you through fully digitized
areas for as long as possible. Route guidance
is conducted in the usual manner, e.g. with
navigation announcements and route
guidance displays.
Before the vehicle reaches a partially digitized
area, COMAND notifies you of this with the
following announcements:
R
Be prepared to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.
R In 700 feet you will enter an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot
be provided.
i The indicated distance can be seen here
by way of example. In reality, it may be
different.
R You are about to enter an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot
be provided.
i When you call up the route info to this
type of destination, ( Y page 123) the
following data shown there may differ from
the actual situation:
R Distance to the destination
R Estimated driving time to the destination
R Estimated arrival time
Route guidance within a partially
digitized area If you start route guidance in this type of area,
you will hear the following announcement:
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
announcements. If you try to call up an announcement
manually, (Y page 122) 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 divided. :
Current vehicle position
; Distance to destination (linear distance)
= Direction to destination (compass
heading)
? Destination
A Suggested route
On the right-hand side you will see direction
arrow = showing the compass heading to
destination ?.
On the left-hand side of the display you will
see the map with the suggested route.
Suggested route A is indicated with a
dashed blue line. However, it may not be
possible to follow the suggested route A
because, for example, the road is closed or
not open for car traffic.
If, during route guidance, COMAND leads you
back into a fully digitalized area, route
guidance will simply continue in the usual
manner. 120

Off-road and off-map
Route guidance to an off-road
destination G
Warning!
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
appropriateness 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 consideration
by the COMAND system.
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 announcements and displays on
roads known to the system.
Shortly before you reach the last known the
point to leave 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.
The section of the route from the last known
point on the map to the off-road destination
is indicated with a dashed line after a certain
length. It simply shows the direction to the
off-road destination without taking account of
any type of obstacles in the way. :
Current vehicle position; the triangle
indicates the vehicle’s direction of travel
; Off-road section of the route
= Off-road destination
? Direction arrow, shows compass heading
to destination
On the off-road section of the route, direction
arrows showing the compass heading to the
destination guide you. You will also see the
Direction to destination display.
Route guidance from an off-road
location to a destination If there is no road available on map at current
position of the car, vehicle is off road.
COMAND is also able to guide you to a
destination 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 compass
heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue from the nearest
road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance The road geometry may differ from the data
on the digital map, due to road construction,
for example.
In such cases, the system cannot allocate the
vehicle position to the digital map and the
vehicle is therefore in an off-road position.COMAND navigation system (route guidance)
