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, single drivers may
also use the carpool lanes if the vehicle's
emission or consumption values are below
the prescribed levels.
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 Number of
Occupants in the Vehicle:, COMAND
uses carpool lanes when calculating the
route. During route guidance, visual and audi-

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

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.
