Individualization
Introduction
You can use the individualization function to
fine tune the Voice Control System to your
voice and therefore improve voice
recognition .This means that other users'
voices will not be recognized as easily.F or
this reason this function can be switched off.
Individualization comprises two parts and
takes approximately 5minutes. It consists of
training the system to recognize a certain
number of digit sequences and voice
commands.
Starting new individualization
Individualization can only be started when the
vehicle is stationary. Before starting, switch
off all devices or functions which could
interfere, such as the radio or the navigation
system. After starting the session, the system
guides you through the training with spoken
instructions.

announcement:" Please follow the arrow on

Route guidance from an off-road location
to a destination
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 the route guidance, you will see
the Street unknown message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The direction
arrow shows the linear direction to the actual
destination.
The continuous blue line on the map starts at
the street which you left last.
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 the
digital map and thus considers the vehicle to
be in an off-road position.
In the display, you will see the Streetunknown message, an arrow and the distance
to the destination. The arrow shows the
compass heading to the last road you were
driving on.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Route guidance on roads that are not
completely digitalized
COMAND attempts to avoid roads that have
not been completely digitalized. If the
vehicle's position or the destination is located
in an area that has not been completely digitalized, then no active route guidance is
performed. Instead, the map shows a dashed
route along the roads and the target direction
is shown with an arrow. You hear the
announcement
:"You will enter an area,
where turn-by-turn guidance can not be
provided. Please follow the arrow on the
display". Once these roads have been left,
regular route guidance is resumed. Traffic reports
