Important safety notes G
WARNING
Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic con-
ditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con-
ditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe
location and make entries only while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving when operating COMAND Online.
Entering a destination by address Introduction
Options for destination entry:
R enter the country, town/postcode, street
and house number
R enter the country, town/postcode and
street
R enter the country, town/postcode and
centre
R enter the country, town/postcode, street
and junction
R enter the country and town
Country and town are sufficient to start nav-
igating. You can enter either a town or a post- code. By entering further address data such
as the street and house number, you can
specify the destination more precisely.
i You can only enter a street, house num-
ber, junction or centre once you have
entered a country and a town or postcode. i
You can only enter those towns, streets,
postcodes etc. that are stored in the digital map. This means that for some countries,
you cannot enter postcodes, for example.
This step-by-step example of how to enter an address uses the following example data:
Germany
Berlin
Unstrutstraße 1
You can of course enter any country, town,
street and house number desired and enter,
for example your home address (My address).
