Change of direction
Introduction
Changes of direction have three phases:
R Preparation phase
R Announcement phase
R Change-of-direction phase
Preparation phase
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
change of direction. Based on the example
display below, the change of direction is
announced with the Prepare to turn
right message. You see the full-screen map.
Example display: preparation phase
:
Next road
; Point at which the change of direction
takes place (light blue dot)
= Current vehicle position (the tip of the
triangle indicates the vehicle’s direction
of travel)
? Current road
Display ? depends on the setting selected
for "Information in map" (

page 102).
Announcement phase
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. Based on the example display
below, the change of direction is announced
with the Please turn right in 500 ft.
and follow the message.
The announced distance to the next change
of direction depends on the type of road and
its permissible speed limit.
The display is now split into two sectors. In
the left half, you see the normal map view.
The right half shows an enlarged section of
the area around the intersection (Crossing
Zoom) or a 3D image of the road's course with
the route indicating the next maneuver.

direction. In the example, the Now turn
right announcement is made 150 ft. before
