You can select the following route types:
R Fast Route :C
OMAND calculates a route
with the shortest (minimized) journey time.
R Dynamic Traffic Route : same route
type as Fast Route .Ina
ddition, COMAND
takes into account any relevant traffic
reports received during route guidance.

a traffic jam, for example, by recalculating
the route.
R Dynamic TRF. Route After Request :
same route type as Dynamic Traffic Route . After recalculating the route,
COMAND asks you whether you want to
adopt the new route or whether you want
to continue along the original route. R
Eco Route : the
Eco Route is a variant of
the Fast Route route type. COMAND will
attempt to minimize the journey distance
at the expense of a slightly increased
journey time.
R Short Route :C
OMAND calculates a route
with the shortest possible (minimized)
route distance.
i The route calculated may, for example,
include ferry connections, even if the
Avoid Ferries route option is switched

To set the number of persons in the
vehicle for the use of carpool lanes For route calculation, you can take HOV or
carpool lanes into account.
If you use HOV or carpool lanes, please
observe the applicable laws as well as the
local and time limitation conditions.
Carpool lanes may only be used under certain
conditions. Normally you can use these lanes
when two or more occupants are traveling in
the vehicle. However, there are lanes that can
only be used when three or four occupants
(e.g. in New York) travel in the vehicle. In
California, lone drivers can use a carpool lane
if their vehicle's emission level or fuel
consumption is below a fixed threshold.
Carpool lanes may be reserved for specific
times (e.g. during the peak period).
Carpool lanes are identified by HOV symbols
on special road signs and by markings on the
road. On the road signs, you may also see the
word CARPOOL .T
he lanes are arranged as a
separate lane next to the others or are built
as a physically separate lane.
