COMAND can give incorrect navigation com-

mands if the actual street/traffic situation

does not correspond with the digital map's

data. Digital maps do not cover all areas nor

all routes in an area. For example, a route may

have been diverted or the direction of a one-

way street may have 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 the sys-

tem's driving recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to

direct you while driving without diverting your

attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of con-

sulting the map display for directions. Look-

ing at the icons or map display can distract

you from traffic conditions and driving, and

increase the risk of an accident.

General notes

Operational readiness of the navigation

system
The navigation system must determine the

position of the vehicle before first use or

whenever operational status is restored.

Therefore, you may have to drive for a while

before precise route guidance is possible.
GPS reception
Among other things, correct functioning of

the navigation system depends on GPS recep-

tion. In certain situations, GPS reception may

be impaired, there may be interference or

there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tun-

nels or parking garages.

Using roof carriers may impair the correct

functioning of a roof antenna (phone, sat-

ellite radio, GPS).

Entry restriction
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a

restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active from a vehicle speed

of above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). As

soon as the speed falls below approximately

2 mph (3 km/h), the restriction becomes

inactive.
When the restriction is active, certain entries

cannot be made. This will be indicated by the

fact that certain menu items are grayed out

and cannot be selected.
The following entries are not possible, for

example:

entering the destination city and street

entering a destination via the map

entering POIs in the vicinity of a city or via a

name search

editing entries

using the number keypad for direct entry

Other entries are possible, such as entering

points of interest in the vicinity of the desti-

nation or current position.
