Route Guidance
General Notes
GWarning
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking into account the
following, for example:
R Traffic lights
R Stop and right-of-way signs
R Lane merging
R Parking or stopping prohibited areas
R Other road and traffic rules and regulations
R Narrow bridges
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map does
not correspond with the actual road/ traffic
situation. For example, if the traffic routing
has been changed or the direction of a one-
way road has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and
regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands
generated by the system.
COMAND guides you to the destination by
means of driving recommendations in the
form of navigation announcements or route
guidance displays.
i The route guidance displays only appear
if the display has been switched to
navigation mode.
If, for some reason, you do not follow the
navigation announcements or if you leave the
calculated route, COMAND automatically
calculates a new route to the destination.
If the map data contains corresponding
information during route guidance, COMAND
tries to avoid roads with limited passability,
e.g. roads that are blocked for through-traffic
and are for residents only.
Driving Maneuver
Driving maneuvers are given in three phases:
R Preparation phase
R Announcement phase
R Maneuver phase
Preparation Phase
COMAND prepares you for the next driving
maneuver. Based on the example display
shown below, the announcement is made
using Prepare to turn right . The display
is not split and displays the map over the
entire width.
