Important safety notes G
WARNING
The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of traversing through without
damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver's sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the route. Off-road routes may be of varying conditions and their
appropriateness for use may be affected by
various factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
cannot be judged or taken into consideration
by the COMAND system.
Route guidance to an off-road
destination COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area of the digital map,
but which are not themselves 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 the off-road
destination. You will hear the announcement:
"Please follow the arrow on the display". As
the vehicle approaches the destination, the
Area of destination reached Area of destination reached
message
appears.
Route guidance from an off-road
location to a destination Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on
the digital map, but the map does not contain
any information about that 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
Road Off Map Road Off Map message, an arrow and the
distance to the destination. The arrow shows
the compass heading to the actual
destination.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual way. 100
Route guidanceNavigation

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. The vehicle is therefore in an off-
road position.
In the display, you will see the Road Off Road Off
Map
Map message, an arrow and the distance to
the destination. The direction arrow shows
the compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way. Real-time traffic reports
