Important safety notes G
WARNING
For safety reasons, only enter a new
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
When you are driving, another passenger
should enter the destination .Read the
Operator's Manual and select the route
before driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) per
second. 314
NavigationCOMAND

COMAND calculates the rout
eto the
destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R merging lanes
R parking or stopping in a no parking/no
stopping zone
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
R narrow bridges G
WARNING
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the actual road/traffic situation
no longer corresponds to the data on the
digital map. Digital maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes in an area. 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 regulations
always have priority over the system's driving
recommendations. G
WARNING
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Looking at the icons or map display can
distract you from traffic conditions and
driving, and increase the risk of an accident.
General notes Operational readiness of the navigation
system
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
.Incertain situations, GPS
reception may be impaired, there may be
interference or there may be no reception at
all, e.g. in tunnels or parking garages.
i Using roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone,
satellite radio, GPS).
Entry restriction
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a
restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed
of above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). As
soon as the speed falls below approximately
2 mph (3 km/h), the restriction becomes
inactive.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. This will be indicated by the
fact that certain menu items are grayed out
and cannot be selected.
The following entries are not possible, for
example:
R entering the destination city and street
R entering a destination via the map
R entering POIs in the vicinity of a city or via
a name search
R editing entries
R using the number keypad for direct entry
Other entries are possible, such as entering
points of interest in the vicinity of the
destination or curren tposition. Navigation

i If you change the route type and/or the
route options while route guidance is
active, COMAND will calculate a new route.
If you change the route type and/or the
route options while route guidance is
inactive, COMAND uses the new setting for
the next route guidance.
Route guidance active: a destination has
been entered and the route has been
calculated.
Route guidance inactive: no destination
has been entered yet and no route has been
calculated yet.
i RDS-TMC is not available in all countries.
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.
The navigation system can help you avoid
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
on.
In some cases, COMAND may not be able
to take all the selected route options into
account, e.g. when calculating particularly
long routes.
X To exit the menu: slide003600120037 the COMAND

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.

ideal route, for example because of
incomplete map data. Please also refer to
the notes about the digital map
(Y page 372).
