COMAND can receive weather forecasts via

satellite radio for the entire USA (including

Alaska and Hawaii). The received weather

data can be displayed as an information chart

(daily forecast, five-day forecast, detailed

information) or on the weather map.
The weather data received from a weather

station is stored in COMAND for one hour. It

can therefore be displayed again immediately

after restarting the engine (for example after

refueling).
The weather map can display the following

weather data with symbols:
