Route guidance
General 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 parking or stopping restrictions
R lane narrowing
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND may give incorrect driving
recommendations if the data on the digital
map does not correspond to the actual
conditions, e.g. the road layout has changed.
For this reason, you must always observe the
respective road and traffic rules and
regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over system driving
recommendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Y
page 51).
COMAND guides you to your destination by
means of navigation commands 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 and non-
residents.
R roads that have time restrictions (e.g.
closed on Sundays and public holidays) are
avoided for route guidance.
