Route guidance

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

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 can give incorrect navigation

commands if the actual street/traffic

situation does not correspond with the digital

map's data. 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 regulations

always have priority over the system's driving

recommendations.

Route guidance begins once a route has been

calculated (

Y

page 62).

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 only 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

when selecting a route, COMAND tries to

avoid roads that only have limited access,

e.g. roads 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.
