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)
