Change of direction
Overview
Changes of direction have three phases:
RPreparation phase
RAnnouncement phase
RChange-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the
multifunction display of the instrument clus-
ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
change of direction, e.g. with the announce-
ment "Prepare to turn right". You see the full-
screen map.
Announcement phase
:Next road or direction
;Point at which the change of direction
takes place (white dot)
=Change of direction (turn right here)
?Distance to the next change of direction
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.
Change-of-direction phase
COMAND announces an imminent change of
direction. The change of direction is
announced ahead of time, e.g. with the
announcement "Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announce-ment phase.
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.
