Important safety notes
G Warning
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
appropriateness 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 a destination that is on
a non-digitized road
COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area covered by 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
navigation announcements and displays on
roads known to the system.

announcement.
If the vehicle reaches an area that is not on
the digitized map, the display is split into two
halves. On the right is a direction arrow which
points to off-road destination :. You will
hear the "Please follow the arrow on the
display" announcement. When the vehicle is
close to the destination, you will see the
Area of Destination Reached display
message.
Route guidance from an off-road location
to a destination
If the vehicle position is within the area
covered by the digital map, but the map does
not contain any information about that
location, the vehicle is in an off-road location.
COMAND is also able to guide you to a
destination even from an off-road location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see
the
Street unknown message, an arrow and
the distance to the destination. The arrow
shows the compass heading to the actual
destination.
