When you reach your destination, you will see
a chequered flag and route guidance is auto-
matically ended.
For certain special destinations (airports or
motorway intersections), you will see the
Area of dest. reached message in addi-

Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion COMAN
Dcan guide you to destinations
which are within the area covered by the dig-
ital map, but which are no tthemselves recor-
ded on the map.
These destinations are known 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 navi-
gation announcements and displays on roads
known to the system. 0001
Off-road destination

angle indicates the vehicle’s direction of
travel
Shortly before you reach the last known point
on the map, you will see the Area of dest.
reached message and an arrow. The direc-
tional arrow shows the linear direction of the
destination.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to adestination If the vehicle position is within the area cov-
ered by the digital map, but the map does not
contain any information about that location,
the vehicle is in an off-road location.
COMAND is also able to guide you to a des-
tination even from such a location.
If the vehicle is travelling on a non-digitised
road, then the linear distance to the destina-
tio nis calculated. You will see the Off road Navigation system (route guidance)

message, a directio
narrow and the distance
to the destination or to the intermediate stop,
if this was configured (Y page 104). The direc-
tional arrow shows the linea rdirection of the
destination. The distance and the estimated
arrival time are displayed in grey in this case.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from
the last recognised street the vehicle was on
before it left the map.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a digitised
road, the distance to the destination appears,
based on the calculated route. Route guid-
ance continues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map loca-
tion to adestination If the vehicle position is outside the area cov-
ered by the digital map, then the vehicle is in
an off-map location. COMAND is also able to
guide you to a destination even from such a
location.
At the start of route guidance you will see the
Off road message, a directio narrow and the
linea rdistance to the destination or to the
intermediate stop, if this has been config-
ured. The arrow shows the compass heading
to the road left last.
The route is highlighted blue fro mthe nearest
road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance contin-
ues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance Due to roadworks, 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 temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the
digital map and thus considers the vehicle to
be in an off-road position.
You will see the Off roadmessage in the
display, a direction arrow and the distance to
the destination or to the intermediate stop, if
this was configured. 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.

arrival time. Therefore, the clock must be
set correctly in COMAND (Y page 72). The
calculation of the estimated time of arrival
does not additionally take into account
whether summer time or standard time is
applicable at the destination. If the desti-
nation is in another time zone, this is not
taken into account. The distance to the
destination, estimated time of arrival and
estimated remaining driving time 0001and

is complete.

COMAND calculates the route. Navigation system (dynamic route
guidance)
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits free-of-
charge RDS-TMC traffic reports in addition to
the radio programme. COMAND can receive
the RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them
into consideration for dynamic route guid-
ance. Thus, for example, the navigation sys-
tem can guide you around a traffic jam.
In Germany, COMAND uses the high-quality
traffic data from T-systems Traffic for the traf-
fic jam warning system TMCPro. These data
are available 24 hours a day. In contrast to
the publicT MC service, TMCPro uses exclu-
sive traffic data which are detected with an
automated sensor network, in addition to the
messages generated by the TMC service. The
traffic data received from the traffic jam warn-
ing services named above could differ.
There may be differences between the
reports received and the actual traffic situa-
tion.
The respective traffic data being received
appears at the bottom right of the display with
the symbols "TMCPro" or "TMC", see example
of display (Y page 120). If there is no recep-
tion, no symbol is displayed. Switching dynamic route guidance
