regulations always have priority over system

driving recommendations.
COMAND calculates the route to the

destination without taking account of the

following, for example:

R

traffic lights

R

stop and give way signs

R

merging lanes

R

parking or stopping in a no parking/no

stopping zone

R

other road and traffic rules and regulations

R

narrow bridges

COMAND may give differing navigation

commands if the actual street/traffic

situation does not correspond with the digital

map's data. For example, if the road layout or

the direction of a one-way street has been

changed.
For this reason, you must always observe

road and traffic rules and regulations during

your journey. Road and traffic rules and

regulations always have priority over the

system's driving recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been

calculated (

Y

page 78).

COMAND guides you to your destination by

means of navigation announcements in the

form of audible navigation announcements

and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if the

display is switched to navigation mode.
If you do not follow the navigation

announcements or if you leave the calculated

route, COMAND automatically calculates a

new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding

information, the following applies:

R

during route guidance, COMAND tries to

avoid roads with restricted access. Those

roads, for example, that are closed to

through-traffic.

R

roads that have time restrictions (e.g.

closed on Sundays and public holidays) are

considered for route guidance on days

when they are open. For this purpose, the

relevant times must be correctly stored in

the database.
