Important notes 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 differing driving
recommendations if the data on the digital
map does not correspond to the actual con-
ditions, such as if the road layout has
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 system
driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (Y page 329).
COMAND Online guides you to your destina-
tion by means of navigation commands in the
form of audible navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if the
display is switched to navigation mode.
If you do not follow the navigation announce- ments or if you leave the calculated route,
COMAND Online automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
R during route guidance, COMAND Online
tries to avoid roads with restricted access. Navigation

the journey without distracting you from traf- fic conditions or driving. Always use this func-
tion as a guide instead of the map display. The
symbols or the map display could distract you from traffic conditions and driving.

time.
