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

Displays during route guidance
Change of direction Changes of direction have three phases:
R preparation phase
R announcement phase
R change-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the
multifunction display of the instrument clus-
ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase: COMAND prepares you
for the upcoming change of direction. Based
on the example display below, the change of
direction is announced by the "Prepare to turn
right message", for instance. You see the full-
screen map.
Announcement phase: COMAND announ-
ces the imminent change of direction. The
change of direction is announced ahead of
time, such as with the announcement "Turn
right in 200 meters".
The display is now split into two sectors. The
map is shown on the left side of the display,
and a detailed image of the intersection or a
3D image of the imminent change of direction
is shown on the right side of the display. 0043
Next road
0044 Point at which the change of direction
takes place (white dot)
0087 Change of direction (turn right here)
0085 Distance to the next change of direction
Change-of-direction phase: COMAND
announces the immediate change of direc-
tion. The change of direction is announced ahead of time, e.g. with the announcement
"Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announce-
ment phase.
The change of direction is performed when
the light-color bar on the right drops down to
0 ft and the current vehicle position symbol
has reached the white change-of-direction
point.
When the change of direction is completed,
the map will appear in full screen mode again. The image shows an example of route guid-
ance at a highway intersection when driving
on a highway.80

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.
