Introduction
COMAND features
These Operating Instructions describe all standard and optional equipment available for your COMAND system at the time of purchase. Country-specific deviations are possible. Please note that your COMAND system may not be equipped with all the features described.
Introduction
Safety notes
G WARNING For safety reasons, only enter a destination when the vehicle is stationary. When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger should enter the destination. Study manual and select route before driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
COMAND calculates the route to the destination without taking account of the following:
RTraffic lights
RStop and right-of-way-signs
RLane merging
RParking or stopping prohibited areas
ROther road and traffic rules and regulations
RNarrow bridges
G WARNING COMAND may give incorrect navigation commands if the data in the digital map does not correspond with the actual road/traffic situation. Digital maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area. For example, if the traffic routing has been changed or the direction of a one-way road has been reversed.
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.
G WARNING Navigation announcements are intended to direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature 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.
General notes
Operational readiness of the navigation
system
The navigation system must determine the position of the vehicle before first use or whenever operational status is restored. Therefore, you may have to drive for a while before precise route guidance is possible.
GPS reception
Correct functioning of the navigation system depends, amongst other things, on GPS reception. In certain situations, GPS reception may be impaired, there may be interference or there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels or parking garages.
Entry restriction
On vehicles for certain countries, there is a restriction on entering data.
The restriction is active above a vehicle speed of about 3 mph. The restriction is deactivated as soon as the vehicle speed drops below about 2 mph.
When the restriction is active, certain entries cannot be made. This will be indicated by the
fact that certain menu items are grayed out and cannot be selected.
The following entries are not possible, for example:
Rentering the destination city and street
Rentering a destination via the map
Rentering points of interest in the vicinity of
a city or via a name search
Rediting entries
Rusing the number keypad for direct entry
Other entries are possible, such as entering points of interest in the vicinity of the destination or current position.
Addresses can be entered via the Voice Control System (see the separate Operating Instructions) while the vehicle is in motion.

The map is displayed with the menu either shown or hidden.
Option 2

Route settings
Setting route type and route options
You can select the following route types:
RFast Route: COMAND calculates a route with the shortest (minimized) journey time.
RDynamic Traffic Route: same route
type as Fast Route. In addition, COMAND takes any traffic reports received with regard to the route into account during route guidance. The navigation system can help you avoid a traffic jam, for example, by recalculating the route.
RDynamic TRF. Route After Request:
same route type as Dynamic Traffic Route. After recalculating the route, COMAND asks you whether you wish to adopt the new route or whether you would prefer to continue along the original route.
REco Route: the Eco Route (economic
route) is a variant of the Fast Route route type. COMAND will attempt to minimize the journey distance at the expense of a slightly increased journey time.
RShort Route: COMAND calculates a route
with the shortest possible (minimized) route distance.
i On very long routes, the "Eco Route" more
or less corresponds to the "Fast Route" route type.
X To call up the route settings menu: press

X Select a route type and press W to confirm. A filled circle indicates the current setting.
X Select the route option(s) and press W to
confirm. The route options are switched on O or off ª, depending on the previous status.
i If you change the route type and/or the route options while route guidance is active (the route has been calculated), COMAND will calculate a new route.
If you change the route type and/or the route options while route guidance is inactive (no destination has been entered yet), COMAND uses the new setting for the next route guidance.
i The route calculated may, for example,
include ferry connections, even if the Avoid Ferries route option is switched on.
In some cases, e.g. when calculating particularly long routes, COMAND may not be able to take all the selected route options into account.
X To exit the menu: slide XVY the COMAND
controller.
Setting the number of persons in the
vehicle for the use of carpool lanes
For route calculation, you can take HOV or carpool lanes into account.
If you use HOV or carpool lanes, please observe the applicable laws as well as the local and time limitation conditions.
Carpool lanes may only be used under certain conditions. Normally you can use these lanes when two people are traveling in the vehicle. However, there are lanes that can only be used when three or four people (e.g. in New York) travel in the vehicle. In California, lone drivers can use a carpool lane if their vehicle's emission level/fuel consumption is below a fixed threshold.
Carpool lanes may be reserved for specific times (e.g. during the peak period).
Carpool lanes are identified by HOV symbols on special road signs and by markings on the road. On the road signs, you may also see the word CARPOOL. The lanes are arranged as a separate lane next to the others or are built as a physically separate lane.
Depending upon the Number of Occupants in Vehicle setting, COMAND uses HOV or carpool lanes when calculating a route. COMAND then guides you with visual and acoustic driving instructions onto or away from HOV or carpool lanes.
X In the Route Settings menu, select Number
of Occupants in Vehicle by turning cVd the COMAND controller.
X Press W the COMAND controller.
