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 (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 announces 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

Change-of-direction phase: COMAND announces the immediate change of direction. The
change of direction is announced ahead of time, e.g. with the announcement "Now turn right".
