Notes If you have activated COMAND and the SD

not take it out of the slot.
When you record a route, COMAND uses so-
called support points and displays the route
as a series of lines. If the route is then
calculated, COMAND attemptst
o align the
recorded route with the digital map.
The support points of the route may not be on
a digitized road.
This is often the case for routes that have
been calculated using map data from other
sources. Route guidance

appropriateness for use may be affected by
various factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
canno tbe judged or taken into consideration
by the COMAND system.
Route guidance to a destination that is
not on a digitized road Example: route guidance to an off-road destination
0001 Off-road destination

COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area of the digital map,
but which are not themselves recorded on the
map.
These destinations are known as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using the
map, for example. In these cases, COMAND
guides you for as long as possible with
navigation announcements and displays on
roads known to the system.
If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part
of the digital map, the display appears as a
split-screen view. On the right, an arrow
appears that points to off-road
destination 0001.You will hear the
announcement:" Please follow the arrow on
the display" .As the vehicle approaches the
destination, the Area of destination reached message appears. Route guidance from an off-road
location to
adestination If the vehicle position is within the area
covered by the digital map, but the map does
not contain any information about that
location, the vehicle is in an off-road location.
COMAND is also able to guide you to a
destination even from an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Off Mapped Road
message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination .The arrow
shows the compass heading to the actual
destination.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from
the last recognized street the vehicle was on
before it left the map.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map
location to adestination If the vehicle position is outside the area
covered by the digital map, then the vehicle
is in an off-map location .COMAND is also
able to guide you to a destination even from
an off-map location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Off Mapped Road message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The direction
arrow shows the compass heading to the
destination.
The route is highlighted in blue from the
nearest road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance Due to roadworks, for example, there may be
differences between the data on the digital
map and the actual course of the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the98

Introduction
While the telephone is being used, COMAND
stores individual lists for both incoming and
outgoing calls (including missed calls). Call
lists are not available unless a mobile phone
is connected to COMAND.
COMAND supports the PBAP Bluetooth ®
profile. How COMAND processes call lists
depends on the model of the mobile phone
connected:
R Bluetooth ®
telephone with PBAP
Bluetooth ®
profile:
The call lists are downloaded automatically
from the mobile phone by COMAND as
soon as the mobile phone is connected to
COMAND.
R Bluetooth ®
telephone without PBAP
Bluetooth ®
profile:
COMAND creates the call lists from both
incoming and outgoing calls (including
missed calls) as soon as the mobile phone
is connected to COMAND.
i For Bluetooth ®
telephones without the
PBAP Bluetooth ®
profile, the call lists in
COMAND are not synchronized with those 142
