Features of your COMAND Online
This Supplement describes all the standard
and optional equipment for your COMAND
Online system, as available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific differences
are possible. Please note that your
COMAND Online system may not be equip-
ped with all the features described. Introduction
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.
COMAND Online calculates the route to the
destination without taking account of the fol- lowing, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R road narrowing
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND Online may give incorrect driving
recommendations if the data on the digital map does not correspond to the actual con-
ditions. For example, a route may have been
diverted or the direction of a one-way street
may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
General notes Operational readiness of the navigation
system
In vehicles for certain countries, the naviga-
tion system is not operational immediately
after delivery. The digital map is not pre-
installed.
If this is the case, the following message
appears in the display after you switch to nav-
igation mode:
Please insert the map DVD to acti‐ Please insert the map DVD to acti‐
vate navigation vate navigation.
X To install the digital map: (Ypage 382).
The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
whenever operational status is restored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance is possible.
GPS reception
Correct functioning of the navigation system
depends, amongst other things, on GPS
reception. In certain situations, GPS recep-
tion may be impaired, there may be interfer-
ence or there may be no reception at all, e.g.
in tunnels or multi-storey car parks.
i The functionality of a roof aerial (tele-
phone, GPS) may be impaired if roof carri-
ers are used.
Entry restriction
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a
restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active above a vehicle speed of approximately 5 km/h. The restriction is Navigation
323COMAND Online Z

deactivated as soon as the vehicle speed
drops below approximately 3 km/h.
When the restriction is active, certain entries cannot be made. This will be indicated by the fact that certain menu items are greyed out
and cannot be selected.
The following entries are not possible, for
example:
R entering the destination town and street
R entering a destination via the map
R entering POIs in the vicinity of a town or via
a name search
R editing entries
R direct entry using the number keypad
Other entries are possible, however, such as
entering POIs in the vicinity of the destination or current position.

for the next route guidance.
Route guidance active: a destination has
been entered and the route has been cal-
culated.
Route guidance inactive: no destination
has been entered yet and no route has been
calculated yet. You can select the following route types:
R Fast
Fast route route: COMAND Online calculates a
route with the shortest (minimised) journey time.
R Dynamic route
Dynamic route : is the same route type as
Fast route
Fast route. In addition, COMAND Online
takes into account any live traffic informa-
tion or RDS-TMC traffic reports that it
receives during route guidance. The navi-
gation system can help you avoid a traffic
jam, for example. If a faster route is deter-
mined due to a received RDS-TMC traffic
announcement, the navigation system
changes the route. If possible, it will bypass
blocked roads.
R Eco route
Eco route: the Eco route Eco route(economical
route) is a variant of the Fast route
Fast routetype.
COMAND Online will attempt to minimise
the journey distance at the expense of a
slightly increased journey time.
R Short route Short route: COMAND Online calculates
a route with the shortest possible (mini-
mised) route distance.
i RDS-TMC is not available in all countries.
i The route calculated may, for example,
include ferry connections, even if the
Avoid ferries
Avoid ferries route option is switched
on.
In some cases, e.g. when calculating par-
ticularly long routes, COMAND Online may
not be able to take all the selected route
options into account.
i To avoid toll roads:
route calculation is
performed excluding sections (e.g. tunnels,
stretches of motorway, inner cities) which
require you to pay a fee (toll).
To avoid routes requiring a special toll
sticker: route calculation is performed
excluding route networks (e.g. a country's
motorway network) which require you to
pay a fee (vignette). A vignette allows tem- porary use of the route network. Example
time limits are 10 days, 2 months or 1 year. Navigation

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).
