Important notes
The 360° camera is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your imme-
diate surroundings. You are always responsi-
ble for safe maneuvering and parking. When
maneuvering or parking, make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the area
in which you are maneuvering. Overview
The 360° camera surveys the vehicle sur-
roundings and assists you, for example when
parking or at exits with reduced visibility.
The 360° camera images can be shown in full
screen mode or in seven different split-screen
views on the COMAND display. A split-screen
view also includes a top view of the vehicle.
This view is calculated from the data supplied
by the installed cameras (virtual camera). Displaying the 360° camera image

Your COMAND equipment

standard and optional equipment for your
COMAND system, as available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific differences
are possible. Please note that your
COMAND system may not be equipped with
all the features described. Introduction

G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating COMAND.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and yield 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 can give incorrect navigation com-
mands if the actual street/traffic situation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. 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 reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
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 con-
sulting the map display for directions. Look-
ing 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 Among other things, correct functioning of
the navigation system depends on GPS recep-
tion. In certain situations, GPS reception may
be impaired, there may be interference or
there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tun-
nels or parking garages.
i Using roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone, sat-
ellite 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 60

culated.
Route guidance inactive: no destination
has been entered yet and no route has been
calculated yet. You can select the following route types:
R
Fast Route
Fast Route: COMAND calculates a route
with the shortest (minimized) journey time.
R Dynamic Traffic Route Dynamic Traffic Route: is the same
route type as Fast Route Fast Route. In addition,
COMAND takes into account any relevant
traffic reports received during route guid-
ance. The navigation system can help you
avoid a traffic jam, for example, by recal-
culating the route.
R Dynamic TRF. Route Only After Dynamic TRF. Route Only After
Request Request: is the same route type as
Dynamic Traffic Route Dynamic Traffic Route. After recalcu-
lating 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 Eco Route: the Eco Route
Eco Route(economical
route) is a variant of the Fast Route
Fast Routetype.
COMAND will attempt to minimize the jour-
ney distance at the expense of a slightly
increased journey time.
R Short Short Route
Route: COMAND 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 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: slide009500520096 the COMAND
controller. Setting 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. 62
Basic settingsNavigation

Carpool lanes may only be used under certain
conditions. They can normally be used when
there are two people in the vehicle. However,
there are also carpool lanes which can only
be used when there are three or more people
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. The road signs may also include the
designation CARPOOL
CARPOOL. The lanes are arranged
as a separate lane next to the others or are
built as a physically separate lane.
