The calculation of the estimated arrival time does not additionally take into account whether Daylight Saving Time or standard time is applicable at the destination. If the destination is in a different time zone, arrival time display 8 is in local time. This is indicated by “LT” in the display. The following data cannot be seen until the route calculation has been completed: 앫 Distance to destination 1

A RDS-TMC (Radio Data System-Traffic Message Channel) radio transmitter broadcasts traffic reports COMAND can receive and incorporate into the navigation system. Traffic report messages and map symbols can then be viewed in the COMAND display. Events displayed are those within receivable range of the vehi- cle's location.

i Actual road and traffic conditions may be different from the received messages.

The following automatic climate control functions can be operated via COMAND:

Warning!

When operating the automatic climate con- trol, the air that enters the passenger com- partment through the air vents can be very hot or very cold (depending on the set tem- perature). This may cause burns or frostbite to unprotected skin in the immediate area of the air vents.

Always keep sufficient distance between un- protected parts of the body and the air vents. If necessary, use the air distribution adjustment (컄 page 271) to direct the air to air vents in the vehicle interior that are not in the immediate area of unprotected skin.

Follow the recommended settings for heat- ing and cooling given on the following pages and pages in the “Controls in detail” part (컄 page 491) Otherwise the windows could fog up, impairing visibility and endangering you and others.

You can operate the automatic climate control via COMAND or via the buttons on the automatic climate control panel (컄 page 491). Some of the special climate control func- tions can only be set via COMAND.
