Navigation
Route guidance
COMAND guides you to the destination by
means of driving recommendations in the
form of navigation announcements or
route guidance displays.
i
The route guidance displays only appear if
the display has been switched to navigation
mode.
If for some reason you do not follow the
driving recommendations or leave the cal-
culated route, COMAND automatically cal-
culates a new route to the destination.
If the map data contains corresponding in-
formation during route guidance
COMAND tries to avoid roads with limited
passability, e. g. roads that are blocked for
through-traffic and are for residents only.
Time restrictions of roads (e.g. blocked on
Sundays and public holidays) are only tak-
en into account for route guidance if the
digital map contains corresponding infor-
mation during the blocked time periods.
Driving maneuvers are given in three phas-
es:
ț Preparation phase
ț Announcement phase
ț Maneuver phase
Route guidance
General information
G
Warning
COMAND calculates the route to the desti-
nation without taking account of the follow-
ing:
ț Traffic lights
ț Stop and right-of-way signs
ț Lane merging
ț Parking or stopping prohibited areas
ț Other road and traffic rules and regula-
tions
ț Narrow bridges
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map
does not correspond with the actual road/
traffic situation. For example, if the traffic
routing has been changed or the direction of
a one-way road has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and regula-
tions during your journey. Road and traffic
rules and regulations always have priority
over the navigation commands generated by
the system.
