On multi-lane roads, COMAND can display
lane recommendations for the next change of
direction. The corresponding data must be
available in the digital map.

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.

recommendations.

Navigation announcements
Repeating navigation announcements
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 consulting
the map display for directions. The symbols or
the map display could distract you from traffic
conditions and driving.
If you have missed an announcement, you can
call up the current announcement at any
time.
