Operating safety
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid.
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating COMAND.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rmerging lanes
Rparking or stopping in a no parking/no
stopping zone
Rother road and traffic rules and regulations
Rnarrow bridges
COMAND can give incorrect navigation com-
mands if the actual street/traffic situation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. Digital maps do not cover all areas nor
all routes in an area. For example, a route may
have been diverted or the direction of a one-
way street may have 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 the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
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 con-
sulting the map display for directions. Look-
ing at the icons or map display can distract
you from traffic conditions and driving, and
increase the risk of an accident.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h) your vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
per second.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled
equipment and meets the FCC radio fre-
quency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supple-
men
t C to OET65.
This equipment has very low levels of RF
energy that is deemed to comply without
maximum permissive exposure evaluation
(MPE). But it is desirable that it should be
installed and operated with at least 8inches
(20 cm) and more between the radiator and a
person's body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, feet and legs.)

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
The navigation system can give differing driv-
ing recommendations if the actual street/
traffic situation 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 69).
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
a
void 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
relevant times must be correctly stored in
the database.
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.
