Control systems COMAND navigation system (route guidance) COMAND navigation system (route guidance) Route guidance For this reason, you must always observe applicable road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the navigation commands generated by the system. Warning! G Roads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed on Sundays and public holidays) are not considered for route guidance, if the digital map contains the relevant information. Examples of displays and announcements for a driving maneuver Driving maneuvers have three phases: Preparation phase Announcement phase Maneuver phase COMAND calculates the route to the destination without taking account of the following, for example: Traffic lights Stop and right-of-way signs Parking or stopping prohibited areas Lane merges Other road and traffic rules and regulations Narrow bridges COMAND may give incorrect navigation commands if the data in the digital map does not correspond with the actual road/traffic situation. For example, if the traffic routing has been changed or the direction of a one-way road has been reversed. COMAND guides you to the destination using navigation commands in the form of audible navigation announcements and route guidance displays. i The route guidance displays can only be seen if the display is switched to navigation mode. If, for any reason, you do not follow the navigation commands or if you leave the calculated route, COMAND automatically calculates a new route to the destination. If the map data contains the relevant information, COMAND tries to avoid roads that only have limited access, e.g. roads closed to through-traffic and non-residents. 185
