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:
RBe prepared to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.
RIn 700 feet you will enter an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot
be provided.
iThe indicated distance can be seen here
by way of example. In reality, it may be
different.
RYou are about to enter an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot
be provided.
iWhen you call up the route info to this
type of destination, (Y page 136) the
following data shown there may differ from
the actual situation:
RDistance to the destination
REstimated driving time to the destination
REstimated 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 135) 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.

Off-road and off-map
Route guidance to an off-road
destination
GWarning!
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.
\000FCurrent vehicle position; the triangle
indicates the vehicle’s direction of travel
\000GOff-road section of the route\000

The Off Road message and an arrow showing
the compass heading to the destination
appear on the display.
As soon as the system can allocate the
vehicle position to the map again, route
guidance continues in the usual way.
Navigation announcements
GWarning!
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use navigation announcements
instead of consulting the map display for
directions. Consulting the symbols or map
display for directions may cause you to divert
your attention from driving and increase your
risk of an accident.
i If Chinese is set as the system language,
the navigation announcements are in
English. For information on how to set the
system language see ( Y page 94).
Navigation announcements are muted
