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

Exterior lighting
Notes For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Ben
zrecom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations .Inthese countries, the daytime driv-
ing lights are automatically switched on when
the engine is started.
i The dipped-beamh eadlamps are asym-
metrical. In countries in which traffic drives
on the opposite side of the road to the
country where the vehicle is registered,
oncoming traffic may be dazzled. Have the
headlamps changed to symmetrical dipped
beam when driving in these countries. You
can obtain information about this from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The exterior lighting (except for the parking
lamps/side lamps) switches off automatically
when the ignition is switched off.
! Switch off the side lamps and parking
lamp when you leave the vehicle. This pre-
vents the battery from discharging. 214
