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

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.

Navigation announcements Repeating navigation announcements
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving. Please
always use this feature instead of consulting
the map display for directions. The symbols or
the map display could distract you from traffic conditions and driving.
If you have missed an announcement, you can
call up the current announcement at any
time. Navigation
