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
Navigation may give differing driving recom-
mendations if the actual street/traffic situa-
tion 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 65).
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
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
considered for route guidance on days
when they are open. For this purpose, the
Route guidance83

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.
Announcement phase
:Next road or direction
;Point at which the change of direction
takes place (white dot)
=Change of direction (turn right here)
?Distance to the next change of direction
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. The change of direction is
announced ahead of time, such as with the
announcement "Turn right in 200 meters".
The display is now split into two sectors. The
map is shown on the left side of the display,
and a detailed image of the intersection or a 3D image of the imminent change of direction
is shown on the right side of the display.
Change-of-direction phase
COMAND announces an imminent change of
direction. The change of direction is
announced ahead of time, e.g. with the
announcement "Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announce-ment phase.
The change of direction is performed when
the light-color bar on the right drops down to
0 ft and the current vehicle position symbol
has reached the white change-of-direction
point.
When the change of direction is completed,
the map will appear in full screen mode again.
Display on highways
The image shows an example of route guid-
ance at a highway intersection when driving
on a highway.

Lane recommendations
Display on multi-lane roads
:Lanes not recommended (dark gray)
;Possible lane (light gray)
=Recommended lanes (white)
If the digital map contains the relevant data,
COMAND can display lane recommendations
on multilane roads for the next change of
direction.
Lane not recommended :: you will not be
able to complete the next change of direction
if you stay in this lane.
Possible lane ;: you will only be able to com-
plete the next change of direction in this lane.
Recommended lane =: in this lane you will
be able to complete the next change of direc-
tion and the one after that.
COMAND shows the lane recommendations
for the next two changes of direction. Lane
recommendations are also shown in the mul- tifunction display of the instrument cluster
(see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Approaching new lanes
:Approaching new lane
During the change of direction, new lanes
may be added. These will be shown in the dis-
play of lane recommendations with a lower
boundary line.

Off-road
General notes
The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of traversing through without
damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver’s sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the route. Off-road routes may be of varying conditions and their appro-
priateness for use may be affected by various
factors such as time of day, time of year and
immediate weather conditions that cannot be
judged or taken into consideration by the
COMAND system.
Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion
COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area of the digital map,
but which are not themselves 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 the off-road destina-
tion. You hear the announcement: "Please
follow the arrow on the display". As the vehi-
cle approaches the destination, you will see a
display to this effect.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination
Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on
the digital map, but the map does not contain
any information about that location.
COMAND is able to guide you to a destination
even from an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Road Not Mapped
message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The arrow
shows the compass heading to the actual
destination.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance contin-
ues in the usual way.
