For this reason, you must always observe

regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands
generated by the system.

guidance displays.

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.
