COMAND navigation system (route guidance) Route guidance G Observe Safety notes, see page 83. 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.

Examples of displays and announcements for a driving maneuver Driving maneuvers have three phases: RPreparation phase RAnnouncement phase RManeuver phase

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

The following example illustration shows the intersection zoom in the right half.

: Next road ; Driving maneuver (turn left) = Graphical representation of the distance

to the driving maneuver

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

A Information about distance to the next

driving maneuver

B Route (highlighted in blue; shown in both

the left and right displays)

: Point at which the driving maneuver takes

place (light blue dot)

; Route (highlighted blue) = Current vehicle position; the triangle

points in the vehicle’s direction of travel

Announcement phase COMAND announces the next driving maneuver. Based on the example display below, 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.

C Current vehicle position; the triangle

indicates the vehicle’s direction of travel (shown in both the left and right displays) D Street on which you are currently driving,

if included on the digital map

E Destination flag

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

Maneuver phase COMAND announces the next driving maneuver. Based on the example display below, 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.

COMAND displays the lane recommendations C, D and E with regard to the next two driving maneuvers. i The instrument cluster also provides lane

recommendations but shows recommended lanes only.

Explanation of lane recommendations RRecommended lane E: This lane can be

used to perform the next two driving maneuvers without changing lanes.

RPossible lane D: This lane can be used to

perform only the next driving maneuver without changing lanes.

RLane not recommended C: This lane

cannot be used to perform the next driving maneuver without changing lanes.

Display of lane recommendation Additional lanes that open during a driving maneuver are displayed different from each other: Display With limiting line below (lane C)

Meaning New lane that opened during a driving maneuver Through lane

Without limiting line below (lane D or E)

The color of the lane recommendation varies depending on whether the COMAND display design is set to day or night:

: Graphical representation of the distance

to the next driving maneuver

; Information about distance to the next

driving maneuver

Lane recommendations COMAND can display lane recommendations for upcoming driving maneuvers when driving on selected multilane streets. The respective data must be available on the digital map.

: Destination on the map ; Destination flag

i An additional announcement may sound

for some destinations, for example selected POIs or destination entries that include the house number, telling you whether the destination is on the left or right side of the street.

Partially digitized areas i The digital map may contain areas that

are only partially attributed. G 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 attributed 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.

120 COMAND navigation system (route guidance)

If you try to call up an announcement manually, (Y page 122) you will hear the announcement You are currently in an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be provided. During route guidance, the display is divided.

: Current vehicle position ; Distance to destination (linear distance) = Direction to destination (compass

heading)

? Destination A Suggested route On the right-hand side you will see direction arrow = showing the compass heading to destination ?. On the left-hand side of the display you will see the map with the suggested route. Suggested route A is indicated with a dashed blue line. However, it may not be possible to follow the suggested route A 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.

If the destination is within a partially digitized area COMAND guides you through fully digitized areas for as long as possible. Route guidance is conducted in the usual manner, e.g. with navigation announcements and route guidance displays. Before the vehicle reaches a partially digitized area, COMAND notifies you of this with the following announcements: RBe prepared to enter an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be provided. RIn 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. RYou are about to enter an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be provided. i When you call up the route info to this

type of destination, (Y page 123) the following data shown there may differ from the actual situation: RDistance to the destination REstimated driving time to the destination REstimated arrival time

Route guidance within a partially digitized area If you start route guidance in this type of area, you will hear the following announcement: 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 announcements.

Off-road and off-map Route guidance to an off-road destination G 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 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. 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.

: Current vehicle position; the triangle

indicates the vehicle’s direction of travel

; Off-road section of the route = Off-road destination ? Direction arrow, shows compass heading

to destination

On the off-road section of the route, direction arrows showing the compass heading to the destination guide you. You will also see the Direction to destination display. Route guidance from an off-road location to a destination If there is no road available on map at current position of the car, vehicle is off road. COMAND is also able to guide you to a destination from such a location. At the start of the route guidance, you will see the Off Road message and a direction arrow. The direction arrow shows the compass heading to the actual destination. The route is highlighted blue from the nearest road known to the system. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known to the system, route guidance continues in the usual way.

Off-road during route guidance The road geometry may differ from the data on the digital map, due to road construction, for example. In such cases, the system cannot allocate the vehicle 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 destination appear on the display. As soon as the system can allocate the vehicle position to the map again, route guidance continues in the usual way.

Navigation announcements G Warning! Navigation announcements are intended to direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving. Please always use navigation announcements instead of consulting the map display for directions. Consulting the symbols or map display for directions may cause you to divert your attention from driving and increase your risk of an accident.
