Entry restriction
For vehicles in certain countries, there is a
data entry restriction.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed
of above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). As
soon as the speed falls below approximately
2 mph (3 km/h), the restriction becomes
inactive.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. This will be indicated by the
fact that certain menu items are grayed out
and cannot be selected.
The following entries are not possible, for
example:
R entering the destination city and street
R entering a destination via the map
R entering POIs in the vicinity of a city or via
a name search
R editing entries
Other entries are possible, such as entering
points of interest in the vicinity of the desti-
nation or current position. Switching to navigation mode

Important notes
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 system
driving recommendations.
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 may give differing navigation com-
mands 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 reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route 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 announce-
ments 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. Route guidance

Lane recommendations
0043
Lanes not recommended (dark gray)
0044 Possible lane (light gray)
0087 Recommended lanes (white)
If the digital map contains the relevant data,
COMAND can display lane recommendations
on multilane roads for the next change of
direction.
Lane not recommended 0043: you will not be
able to complete the next change of direction
if you stay in this lane.
Possible lane 0044: you will only be able to com-
plete the next change of direction in this lane.
Recommended lane 0087: in this lane you will
be able to complete the next change of direc-
tion and the one after that.
COMAND shows the lane recommendations
for the next two changes of direction. Lane
recommendations are also shown in the mul-
tifunction display of the instrument cluster
(see the vehicle Operator's Manual). 0043
Approaching new lane
During the change of direction, new lanes
may be added. These will be shown in the dis- play of lane recommendations with a lower
boundary line. Once the destination is reached, you will see
the checkered flag. Route guidance is fin-
ished.

Your COMAND equipment
These operating instructions describe all
standard and optional equipment available
for your COMAND system at the time of pur-
chase. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. Please note that your COMAND system
may not be equipped with all the features
described. This also applies to safety-relevant
systems and functions. Therefore, the equip-

WARNING
If you operate mobile communication equip-
ment 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 this equipment when the vehicle
is stationary.
If you make a call on your mobile phone while
driving, always use hands-free mode. Only
use the mobile phone when road, weather
and traffic conditions permit. Some jurisdic-
tions prohibit the driver from using a mobile
phone while driving a vehicle.
Bear in mind that at a speed of 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
per second.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the
health of others.
There is scientific discussion surrounding the
possible health risks posed by electromag-
netic fields. You can reduce this risk by using
an exterior antenna. Therefore, connect your mobile communica-
tions equipment to the vehicle's exterior
antenna wherever possible. General notes
