Route guidance
Important notes
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
Rtraff iclights
Rstop and yield signs
Rmerging lanes
Rparking or stopping ina no parking /no
stopping zone
Rother road and traff icrules and regulations
Rnarrow bridges
COMAND may give differing navigation com-
man ds if the actual street/traff icsituation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. For example, ifthe road layout or the
direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
For th isreason, you must always observe
road and traff icrules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traff icrules and reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 329).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation announcements inthe
346Navigation
COMAND

form of audible navigation announcements
and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if the
display is switched to navigation mode.
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
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) areconsidered for route guidance on days
when they are open. For this purpose, the
relevant times must be correctly stored in
the database.
Displays during route guidance
Change of direction
Changes of direction have three phases:
Rpreparation phase
Rannouncement phase
Rchange-of-direction phase
Example: preparation phase
:
Next road
;Point at which the change of direction
takes place (light blue dot)
=Current vehicle position (the tip of the tri-angle indicates the vehicle’s direction of
travel)
?Current road
Display ?depends on the setting selected
for "Map information in the display"
(
Ypage 370).
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
change of direction. Based on the example
display below, the change of direction is
announced by the Prepare to turn right
message. You see the full-screen map.
Example: announcement phase
:
Next road
;Change of direction (turn right here)

?Distance to the next change of direction

takes place (light blue dot, shown in both
the left and right displays)
iThe filled-in section of visual display for
distance =gets shorter the nearer you get
to the announced change of direction.
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. Based on the example display
below, the change of direction is announced
beforehand by the message: Please turn

On multi-lane roads, COMAND can display
lane recommendations for the next change of
direction. The corresponding data must be
available in the digital map.
COMAND displays lane recommendationC
based on the next two changes of direction.
The number of lanes applies to the point at
which the next change of direction is
required.
iThe multifunction display also shows lane
recommendations.

HOV or carpool lanes
:HOV symbol on the road sign
;HOV symbol on the car pool lane
A route may be calculated taking the use of
HOV or carpool lanes into account. You can
use HOV or carpool lanes depending on the
number of persons in the vehicle as well as
the local and time limitation conditions.
iThis information is stored in the map data.
iYou can enter the number of people in the
vehicle (
Ypage 323). In this section, you
can also find more information on HOV or
carpool lanes.
If the system guides you to or from a carpool
lane, COMAND provides you with visual and
acoustic driving instructions.
Navigation announcements
Repeating navigation announcements
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 consulting
the map display for directions. The symbols or
the map display could distract you from traffic
conditions and driving.
If you have missed an announcement, you can
call up the current announcement at any
time.

Off-road and off-map
Notes
The navigation system may guide you to off-
road routes that your vehicle cannot drive on
without causing damage to the tires or wheels
or the vehicle itself. It is the driver’s sole
responsibility to determine the suitability of
the route. The condition of the off-road routes may vary, and their drivability may be affected
by different factors such as time of day, sea-
son and current weather conditions, which
the navigation system cannot judge or take
into account. Route guidance to a destination that is not
on a digitized road
Example: route guidance to an off-road destination
:
Off-road destination
;Off-road route section (blue dashes)
=Current vehicle position (the tip of the tri-
angle indicates the vehicle’s direction of
travel)
?Off-road (if available)
COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area of the digital map,
but which are not themselves recorded on the
map.
These destinations are known as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using the
map, for example. In these cases, COMAND
guides you for as long as possible with navi-
gation announcements and displays on roads
known to the system.
If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part
of the digital map, the display appears as a
split-screen view. On the right, an arrow
appears that points to off-road destina-
tion :. You will hear the announcement:
"Please follow the arrow on the display". As
the vehicle approaches the destination, the
Area of destination reached
message
appears.
Route guidance from an off-road location
to a destination
If the vehicle position is within the area cov-
ered by the digital map, but the map does not
contain any information about that location,
the vehicle is in an off-road location.
