Control systems COMAND navigation system (route guidance) During route guidance, the display is divided. 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. However, 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 digitalized area, route guidance will simply continue in the usual manner. Off-road and off-map Route guidance to an off-road destination Warning! These destinations are shown as off-road destinations, which you can enter using the map, for example. In these cases, COMAND guides you for as long as possible with navigation announcements and displays on roads known to the system. Shortly before you reach the last known the point to leave the digitized road network, you will hear the announcement "The destination is nearby. Follow the arrow on the display". You will then see an arrow that indicates the direction to the off-road destination. When the off-road destination is close to the road, "Area of dest. reached" appears in addition below the arrow. The section of the route from the last known point on the map to the off-road destination is indicated with a dashed line after a certain length. It simply shows the direction to the off-road destination without taking account of any type of obstacles in the way. G The COMAND navigation system may direct you to off-road routes that your vehicle may not be capable of traversing through without damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is the driver's sole responsibility to determine the suitability of the route. Off-road routes may be of varying conditions and their appropriateness for use may be affected by various factors such as time of day, time of year and immediate weather conditions that cannot be judged or taken into consideration by the COMAND system. COMAND can guide you to destinations within the area covered by the digital map, even if a destination is not located at a road known to the system. 200
