Route guidance
Change of direction
Introduction
Changes of direction have three phases:
RPreparation phase
RAnnouncement phase
RChange-of-direction phase
Preparation phase
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming change of direction. Based on the example display below, the change of direction is announced with the Prepare to turn right message. You see the full-screen map.
The announced distance to the next change of direction depends on the type of road and its permissible speed limit.
The display is now split into two sectors. In the left half, you see the normal map view. The right half shows an enlarged section of the area around the intersection (Crossing Zoom) or a 3D image of the road's course with the route indicating the next maneuver.
Example display: announcement phase : Next road

the left and right displays)

takes place (light blue dot, shown in both the left and right displays)
i The filled-in section of visual display for
distance = gets shorter the nearer you get to the announced change of direction.
Change-of-direction phase
COMAND announces the imminent change of direction. In the example, the Now turn right announcement is made 150 ft. before the change of direction.
The display is split into two halves, as in the announcement phase.
Example display: preparation phase : Next road

Announcement phase
COMAND announces the imminent change of direction. Based on the example display below, the change of direction is announced with the Please turn right in 500 ft. and follow the
message. Route guidance

Lane recommendations
Overview
On multilane roads, COMAND can display lane recommendations for the next change of direction. The corresponding data must be available in the digital map.
COMAND displays lane recommendations B based on the next two changes of direction. The number of lanes applies to the point at which the next change of direction is required.
Example display: change-of-direction phase : Current vehicle position (the tip of the
triangle indicates the vehicle’s direction of travel)
; Graphic representation of the distance to
the next change of direction
= Distance to the next change of direction
Once the change of direction is completed, COMAND automatically switches back to full- screen display.

HOV or carpool lanes
A route may be calculated taking the use of HOV or carpool lanes into account. You can use HOV or carpool lanes depending on the number of persons in the vehicle as well as the local and time limitation conditions.
i This information is stored in the map data.
i You can enter the number of persons in the vehicle (Y page 53). In this section, you can also find more information on HOV or carpool lanes.
When the system guides you onto or away from HOV or carpool lanes, COMAND issues visual and acoustic driving instructions.

Notes
If you have activated COMAND and the SD memory card has been inserted, you should not take it out of the slot.
When you record a route, COMAND uses so- called support points and displays the route as a series of lines. If the route is then calculated, COMAND attempts to align the recorded route with the digital map.
The support points of the route may not be on a digitized road.
This is often the case for routes that have been calculated using map data from other sources.

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.
Route guidance to a destination that is
not on a digitized road
COMAND can guide you to destinations which are within the area covered by the digital map, but which are not themselves recorded on the map.
These destinations are known 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.

Important safety note
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
Example: route guidance to an off-road destination : Off-road destination

triangle indicates the vehicle’s direction of travel)
? Off-road (if available)
If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part of the digital map, the display appears as a split-screen view. On the right-hand side, an arrow appears which points to off-road destination :. You will hear the announcement: "Please follow the arrow on the display". As the vehicle approaches the destination, the Area of destination reached message appears.

Route guidance from an off-road
location to a destination
If the vehicle position is within the area covered by the digital map, but the map does not contain any information about that location, the vehicle is in an off-road location. COMAND is also able to guide you to a destination even from an off-road location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see the Off Mapped Road message, an arrow and the distance to the destination. The arrow shows the compass heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from the last recognized street the vehicle was on before it left the map.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known to the system, route guidance continues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map
location to a destination
If the vehicle position is outside the area covered by the digital map, then the vehicle is in an off-map location. COMAND is also able to guide you to a destination even from an off-map location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see the Off Mapped Road message, an arrow and the distance to the destination. The direction arrow shows the compass heading to the 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
Due to roadworks, for example, there may be differences between the data on the digital map and the actual course of the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be unable to locate the vehicle position on the
digital map and thus considers the vehicle to be in an off-road position.
In the display, you will see the Off Mapped Road message, an arrow and the distance to the destination. The direction arrow shows the compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle position to the map again, route guidance continues in the usual way.
