Recording the route
General notes
Routes are recorded on the SD memory card.
Requirement: the SD memory card is format-
ted using the FAT file system (e.g. FAT32).
When recording the route, bear in mind the
following:
Rif the SD memory card is inserted, it must
not be removed during recording.
Rif route recording is started manually, it
must be finished manually before COMAND
is switched off (e .g. when the engine is
switched off).
RCOMAND minimizes the number of route
points recorded. Therefore when the recor-
ded route is subsequently commenced, it
may differ from the route that was originally
recorded.

Route guidance
General notes
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rtemporary traffic rules and regulations
Navigation may give differing driving recom-
mendations if the actual street/traffic situa-
tion 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
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg-
ulations always have priority over system
driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 65).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation announcements in the
form of audible navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if
navigation mode is switched on.
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
information, the following applies:
Rduring route guidance, COMAND tries to
avoid roads with restricted access. Those
roads, for example, that are closed to
through-traffic.
Rroads 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

Lane recommendations
Display on multi-lane roads
:Lanes not recommended (dark gray)
;Possible lane (light gray)
=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 :: you will not be
able to complete the next change of direction
if you stay in this lane.
Possible lane ;: you will only be able to com-
plete the next change of direction in this lane.
Recommended lane =: in this lane you will
be able to complete the next change of direc-
tion and the one after that.
COMAND shows the lane recommendations
for the next two changes of direction. Lane
recommendations are also shown in the mul- tifunction display of the instrument cluster
(see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Approaching new lanes
:Approaching new lane
During the change of direction, new lanes
may be added. These will be shown in the dis-
play of lane recommendations with a lower
boundary line.

Requirement: the Highway Information
map content must be enabled (Ypage 100).
While driving on the highway, gas stations,
rest stops, rest areas and highway exits are
