vehicle and switch off COMAND. The journey is continued when you switch COMAND back on and start driving on.

Hard disk errors COMAND has an integrated hard disk on which the map software is saved. If an area of the hard disk has an error, COMAND can no longer access the map data in this area, for example, when calculating a route. The message Navigation Unavailable.
