Important safety notes

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 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 also able to guide you to a des-

tination 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.

Off-road during route guidance

Due to road works, for example, there may be

differences between the data on the digital

map and the actual course of the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be

unable to locate the vehicle position on the

digital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off-

road position.
In the display, you will then see the

Road

Not

Mapped

message, an arrow and the distance

to the destination. The direction arrow shows

the compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
