Route guidance
Before the vehicle reaches a partially digi-
tized area, COMAND notifies you of this 
with the following announcements:
ț
“Be prepared to enter an area where 
turn by turn guidance cannot be provid-
ed.”
ț
“In 700 feet you will enter an area 
where turn by turn guidance cannot be 
provided.”
ț
“You are about to enter an area where 
turn by turn guidance cannot be provid-
ed.”
Route guidance within a partially digi-
tized area
If you start route guidance in this type of 
area, you will hear the following announce-
ment: “You are currently in an area where 
turn by turn guidance cannot be provided.”
Route guidance is provided by means of a 
direction arrow showing the compass 
heading to the destination. COMAND will 
not generate automatic navigation an-
nouncements.
If you try to call up or repeat an announce-
ment manually, (
the announcement “You are currently in an 
area where turn by turn guidance cannot be 
provided.“.
During route guidance, the display is divid-
ed. On the right-hand side you will see the 
direction arrow showing the compass 
heading to the destination.
On the left-hand side of the display you will 
see the map with the suggested route. The 
suggested route is highlighted blue. How-
ever, it may not be possible to follow the 
suggested route because, for example, the 
road is closed or not open for car traffic.
If, during route guidance, COMAND leads 
you back into a fully digitized area, route 
guidance will simply continue in the usual 
manner.
