General notes
G
Risk of accident
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R lane narrowing
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND may give incorrect driving recom-
mendations if the data on the digital map does
not correspond to the actual conditions, e.g.
the road layouth as changed.
For this reason, you must always observe the
respective road and traffic rules and regula-
tions during your journey. Road and traffic
rules and regulations always have priority
ove rsystem driving recommendations.
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation commands in the form
of audible navigation announcements and
route guidance displays.
i The route guidance displays can only be
see nift he display is switched to navigation
mode.
If, for any reason, you do not follow the navi-
gation announcements or if you leave the cal-
culated route, COMAND automatically calcu-
lates a new route to the destination.
If the map data contains the relevant infor-
mation, COMAND tries to avoid roads that
only have limited access, e.g. roads closed to
through traffic and non-residents.
Roads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed
on Sundays or publich olidays) are not taken
into account for route guidance unless the
digital map contains the relevant information. Navigation system (route guidance)

Safety notes G
Ris
kofa ccident
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating mobile communications
equipment in the vehicle.
If it is permitted to operate communications
equipment while the vehicle is in motion, you
may only operate such equipment when road
and traffic conditions permit. You may other-
wise be distracted from the traffic conditions,
cause an acciden tand injure yoursel fand oth-
ers.
Two-way radios or fax machines withou tlow-
reflection exterior aerials may interfere with
the vehicle electronics and thereby compro-
mise the operational safety of the vehicle and
your safety. Therefore, only use these if they
are properly connected to a separate, low-
reflection exterior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may con-
stitute a health hazard to yourself and others.
Use of an exterior aerial gives consideration
to the current scientific discussion surround-
ing the possible health risk posed by electro-
magnetic fields.

R there is insufficient GSM network coverage
in certain areas.
