Further information about
ATTENTION ASSIST can be
found in the vehicle Opera-
tor's Manual. Using car pool lanes
You can include carpool lanes (HOV or car
sharing lanes) in the route calculation.
If you use HOV or carpool lanes, please
observe the applicable laws as well as the
local and time limitation conditions.
Carpool lanes may only be used under certain
conditions. They can normally be used when there are two people in the vehicle. However,
there are also carpool lanes which can only be
used when there are three or more people in
the vehicle. In California, lone drivers can use
a carpool lane if their vehicle's emission level or fuel consumption is below a fixed thresh-
old.
Carpool lanes may be reserved for specific
times (e.g. during the peak period).
Carpool lanes are indicated by a diamond
symbol on specific road signs and on the road surface. The road signs may also include the
designation CARPOOL. The lanes are
arranged as a separate lane next to the others
or are built as a physically separate lane.
Depending on the setting under Use Car‐ Use Car‐
pool Lanes
pool Lanes, COMAND uses carpool lanes
when calculating the route. COMAND then
guides you in and out of carpool lanes using
visual and acoustic driving directions.

Entering keywords The keyword search is used to help find des-
tinations using fragments of words. The key-
word search is tolerant of errors. It can be
used for an address or a POI. For example,
you can search for the Houses of Parliament
or Big Ben. The keyword search finds geoto-
lerant hits. If, for example, you are searching for a street located on the edge of a city, thesearch will also cover adjacent smaller cities.
The keyword search supports languages
using Latin characters.

Recording the route
General notes When recording the route, bear in mind the
following:
R if the SD memory card is inserted, it must
not removed during recording.
R if route recording is started manually, it
must be finished manually before COMAND is switched off (e .g. when the engine is
switched off).
R COMAND minimizes the number of route
points recorded. Therefore when the
recorded route is subsequently com-
menced, it may differ from the route that
was originally recorded.

General 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 Route guidance
101Navigation Z

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 guidance at a highway intersection when driving on a
highway. 104

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 be able to complete the next change of direction only in this lane.
Recommended lane 0087: in this lane you will be able to complete the next change of direction
and the one after that.
COMAND shows the lane recommendations for the next two changes of direction. The mul-
tifunction display also shows lane recommendations (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 display of
lane recommendations with a lower boundary line. Route guidance
