Route guidance
Important notes
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination withou ttaking accoun tofthe
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
COMAND may give differing navigation
commands if the actual street/traffic
situation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. For example, if the road layout or
the direction of a one-way street has been
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.
Route guidance begins once aroute has been
calculated (Y page 69).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation announcements 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
announcements or if you leave the calculated
route, COMAND automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
R during route guidance, COMAND tries to
avoid roads with restricted access. Those
roads, for example, that are closed to
through-traffic.
R roads that have time restrictions (e.g.
closed on Sundays and public holidays) are considered for route guidance on days
when they are open. For this purpose, the
relevant times must be correctly stored in
the database. Displays during route guidance
Change of direction Changes of direction have three phases:
R
preparation phase
R announcement phase
R change-of-direction phase Example: preparation phase
0001

0002 Point at which the change of direction
takes place (light blue dot)
0014 Current vehicle position (the tip of the
triangle indicates the vehicle’s direction
of travel)
0013 Current road
Display 0013depends on the setting selected
for "Map information in the display"
(Y page 111).
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
change of direction .Based on the example
display below, the change of direction is
announced by the Prepare to turn right message. You see the full-scree
nmap. 88

i The filled-in section of visual display for
distance 0014gets shorter the nearer you get
to the announced change of direction.
COMAND announces the imminen tchange of
direction. Based on the example display
below, the change of direction is announced
beforehand by the message: Please turnright in 500 ft. and follow the
.
The distance announced before the next
change of direction depends on the type of
road and its permissible maximum speed.
The display is now split into two sectors. In
the left half, you see the normal map view.
The right-hand half shows:
R an enlarged section of the area around the
intersection (crossing zoom) or
R a 3D image of the road's course with the
route indicating the next change of
direction Example: change-of-direction phase

Current vehicle position (the tip of the
triangle indicates the vehicle’s direction

0002 Graphic representation of the distance to
the next change of direction
0014 Distance to the next change of direction
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction.
Based on the example display below, the
change of direction is announced 150 ft.
before the change of direction with the Now turn right message.
The display is split into two halves, as in the
announcemen tphase.
Once the change of direction is completed,
COMAND automatically switches back to full-
