왔 COMAND navigation system (route guidance) Route guidance

Warning!

COMAND calculates the route to the desti- nation without taking account of the follow- ing, for example: 앫 Traffic lights 앫 Stop and right-of-way signs 앫 Parking or stopping prohibited areas 앫 Lane merges 앫 Other road and traffic rules and regula-

tions

앫 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 di- rection of a one-way road has been re- versed.

For this reason, you must always observe applicable road and traffic rules and regula- tions during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the navigation commands generated by the system.

COMAND guides you to the destination us- ing 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 infor- mation, COMAND tries to avoid roads that only have limited access, e.g. roads closed to through-traffic and non-residents.

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 informa- tion.

Examples of displays and announce- ments for a driving maneuver

Driving maneuvers have three phases: 앫 Preparation phase 앫 Announcement phase 앫 Maneuver phase

233

Control systems COMAND navigation system (route guidance)

Announcement phase COMAND announces the next driving ma- neuver. Based on the example display be- low, the driving maneuver is announced 700 feet in advance with the “Turn left in 700 feet to your destination” message. The display is divided in two. In the left half, you see the normal map view. In the right half, there is either an enlarged view of the area surrounding the intersection (intersection zoom) or simply a symbol for the next driving maneuver. The following example illustration shows the intersection zoom in the right half.

1 Next road 2 Driving maneuver (turn left) 3 Graphical representation of the dis-

tance to the driving maneuver

4 Point at which the driving maneuver takes place (light blue dot, shown in both the left and right displays)

5 Information about distance to the next

driving maneuver

6 Route (highlighted in blue; shown in

both the left and right displays)

7 Current vehicle position; the triangle in- dicates the vehicle’s direction of travel (shown in both the left and right dis- plays)

8 Street on which you are currently driv-

ing, if included on the digital map

9 Destination

i The filled-in section of distance graphic 3 gets shorter the nearer you get to the announced driving maneuver.

Preparation phase COMAND prepares you for the upcoming driving maneuver. Based on the example display below, the driving maneuver is an- nounced with the “Prepare to turn left” message. The display is not split and shows the map over the full screen.

1 Point at which the driving maneuver

takes place (light blue dot)

2 Route (highlighted blue) 3 Current vehicle position; the triangle

points in the vehicle’s direction of travel

234

Maneuver phase COMAND announces the next driving ma- neuver. Based on the example display be- low, the driving maneuver is announced 150 feet in advance with the “Now turn left” message. The display is also split into two halves, as for the announcement phase.

i Once the maneuver is completed, COMAND automatically switches back to the non-split screen.

tion and settings, see (컄 page 193)

Partially digitized areas

i The digital map may contain areas that are only partially digitized although they are within a digitized region.

Warning!

Due to incomplete digitization, the route shown on the map may differ from the actual road/traffic situation.

If you follow the route shown on the map, for example, it is possible that you could drive the wrong way down a one-way street or that a street cannot be driven on.

When using route guidance in a partially dig- itized area, you must therefore be sure to observe all relevant traffic regulations and the course of the road.

All relevant traffic regulations and the course of the road always take priority over the route shown on the map.

If the destination is within a partially digitized area COMAND guides you through fully digitized areas for as long as possible. Route guid- ance is conducted in the usual manner, i.e. with navigation announcements and route guidance displays. Before the vehicle reaches a partially digi- tized area, COMAND notifies you of this with the following announcements: 앫 “Be prepared to enter an area where

turn by turn guidance cannot be provid- ed.”

앫 “In 700 feet you will enter an area

where turn by turn guidance cannot be provided.”

i The indicated distance can be seen here by way of example. In reality, it may be different. 앫 “You are about to enter an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be provid- ed.”

i When you call up the route info to this type of destination, (컄 page 241) the following data shown there may differ from the actual situation: 앫 Distance to the destination 앫 Estimated driving time to the destination 앫 Estimated arrival time

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 an announcement man- ually, (컄 page 239) you will hear the an- nouncement “You are currently in an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be pro- vided.”.

236

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 digitalized area, route guidance will simply continue in the usual manner.

Control systems COMAND navigation system (route guidance)

Off-road and off-map

Route guidance to an off-road destination

Warning!

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 ap- propriateness 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 consider- ation 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.

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 announce- ments and displays on roads known to the system. Shortly before you reach the last known the point to leave the digitized road net- work, 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 with- out taking account of any type of obstacles in the way.

237

Control systems COMAND navigation system (route guidance)

Route guidance from an off-road loca- tion to a destination If there is no road available on map at cur- rent position of the car, vehicle is off road. COMAND is also able to guide you to a des- tination from such a location. At the start of the route guidance, you will see the “Off Road” message and a direc- tion arrow. The direction arrow shows the compass heading to the actual destina- tion. The route is highlighted blue from the near- est road known to the system. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known to the system, route guidance con- tinues in the usual way.

Route guidance from an off-map loca- tion to a destination If the vehicle position is outside the area covered by the digital map, then the vehi- cle is in an off-map location. COMAND is also able to guide you to a des- tination from such a location.

At the start of the route guidance, you will see the “Off Map” message and a direction arrow. The direction arrow shows the com- pass heading to the actual destination. The route is highlighted blue from the near- est road known to the system. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known to the system, route guidance con- tinues in the usual way.

Off-road during route guidance The road layout may differ from the data on the digital map, due to road construction measures, for example. In such cases, the system cannot allocate the vehicle’s position to the digital map and the vehicle is therefore in an off-road position. The “Off Road” message and an arrow showing the compass heading to the desti- nation appear on the display. As soon as the system can allocate the ve- hicle position’s to the map again, route guidance continues in the usual way.
