means of navigation announcements in the
form of audiblenavigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can beseen if
navigation mode is switched on.
If you donot follow the navigation announce-
ments or ifyou leave the calculated route,
COMAND automatically calculates a new
route to the destination.
If the digit al map contains the corresponding

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
cons idered for route guidance on days
when they are open. For th ispurpose, the
relevant times must be correctly stored in
the database.
