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 appro-
priateness 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 destina-
tion 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 navi-
gation 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 destina- tion. You hear the announcement: "Please
follow the arrow on the display". As the vehi-
cle approaches the destination, you will see
a display to this effect.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion 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 des-
tination even from an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Road Not Mapped Road Not Mapped
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 contin-
ues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance Due to road works, 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 then see the
Road RoadNot
Not
Mapped
Mapped 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
