Introduction
Important safety notes
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
320Navigation
COMAND

COMAND can give incorrect navigation com-
mands if the actual street/traff icsituation
does not correspond with the digital map's
data. Dig ital maps donot cover all areas nor
all routes inan area. For example, a route may
have been diverted or the direction of a one-
way street may have changed.
For th isreason, you must always observe
road and traff icrules 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
dire ct you whiledriving 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 cond itions and driving, and
increase the risk of an accident.
General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system
The navigation system must determine the
position of the vehicle before first use or
whenever operational status isrestored.
Therefore, you may have to drive for a while
before precise route guidance ispossible.
GPS reception
Among other things, correct functioning of
the navigation system depends on GPS recep-
tion. Incertain situations, GPS reception may
be impaired, there may beinterference or
there may beno reception at all,e.g. in tun-
ne lsor parking garages.
iUsing roof carriers may impair the correct
functioning of a roof antenna (phone, sat-
ellit e radio, GPS).
Entry restriction
On veh icles for certain countries, there isa
restriction on entering data.
The restriction isactive from a vehicle speed
of above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).As soon as the speed falls below approximately
2 mph (3 km/h), the restriction becomes
inactive.
When the restriction is active, certain entries
cannot be made. This will be indicated by the
fact that certain menu items are grayed out
and cannot be selected.
The following entries are not possible, for
example:
Rentering the destination city and street
Rentering a destination via the map
Rentering POIs in the vicinity of a city or via a
name search
Rediting entries
Rusing the number keypad for direct entry
Other entries are possible, such as entering
points of interest in the vicinity of the desti-
nation or current position.
