Recording the route
General notes
Routes are recorded on the SD memory card.
Requirement: the SD memory card is format-
ted using the FAT file system (e.g. FAT32).
When recording the route, bear in mind the
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
is switched off (e .g. when the engine is
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.

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 90).
