Avoiding an area
General notes
COMAND enables you to avoid areas you do
not wish to drive through.
If you activate or deactivate a route block
while route guidance is active, COMAND will
calculate a new route. If you activate or deac-
tivate a route block while route guidance is
inactive, COMAND will use the new setting for
the next route guidance.
The calculated route may include an area to
be avoided if:
Ryour destination is located in such an area.
Rthere is no alternative route available
Highways within blocked areas are always
taken into consideration in the route calcula-
tion.

radio equipment and registration with a sat-
ellite radio provider.
Note that the categories and channels shown

tions and descriptions in these operating

vider.
Satellite radio mode may be temporarily
unavailable or interrupted for a variety of rea-
sons. These include environmental or topo-
graphical conditions as well as other factors
beyond the control of Mercedes-Benz USA,

ble in certain areas.
These include:
Rtunnels
Rparking garages
Rlocations inside or next to buildings
