Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2011 - Manual (Page 167)

The announced distance to the next change
of direction depends on the type of road and
its permissible speed limit.
The display is now split into two sectors. In
the left half, you see the normal map view. In
the right half, there is an enlarged view of the
area surrounding the intersection
(intersection zoom) or a 3D image of the
road's course, the change of direction also
being illustrated.

Change-of-direction phase
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. In the example, the
Now turn
right announcement is made 90 ft. before
the change of direction. The display is split
into two halves, as in the announcement
phase.
Example display: change-of-direction phase

Lane recommendations
Overview
On multilane roads, COMAND can display
lane recommendations for the next change of
direction. The relevant data must be available
on the digital map.
COMAND displays lane recommendation B,
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.
