COMAND can receive weather forecasts via
satellite radio for the entire USA (including
Alaska and Hawaii).
The received weather data can be displayed
as an information chart (daily forecast, five-
day forecast, detailed information) or on the
weather map.
The weather data received from a weather
station is stored in COMAND for one hour. It
can therefore be displayed again immediately
after restarting the engine (for example after
refueling). Depending on which scale has been selected,
the weather map can display the following
weather data with symbols:
R
rain radar
R storm characteristics
R high and low-pressure areas, weather
fronts
R course of tropical cyclones (hurricanes,
typhoons)
R gale warnings
R wind direction and speeds
i The rain radar cannot be displayed for
Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
i Hurricane: term used to describe the trop-
ical cyclones that primarily develop in the
Atlantic, North Pacific and South Pacific
oceans. The wind speeds are above
74 mph (118 km/h). Five categories are
used to classify the strength of a hurricane.
Typhoon: term used to describe a tropical
cyclone that develops in the northwestern
Pacific. The wind speeds are in the category
of a hurricane. Switching the SIRIUS Weather display
