Route mode
Setting route type and route options
You can select the following route types:
• Fast Route: COMAND calculates the
route with the shortest (minimized) journey
time.
• Dynamic Route: same route type as Fast
Route. In addition, COMAND takes traffic
reports into account during route
guidance6. Thus, the navigation system is
able to guide you around a blocked section,
for example. If a faster route is determined
due to a received RDS-TMC traffic
announcement, the navigation system
changes the route. If possible, it will bypass
blocked roads.
• Eco Route: the ECO route is an economical
route that takes traffic announcements
into account (see dynamic route).
• Short Route: COMAND calculates the
route with the shortest possible
(minimized) route distance.
In addition to route types, route options can also be set.
You can select the following route options:
• Use Carpool Lanes
• Minimize highways
• Minimize Toll Roads
• Minimize Tunnels
• Minimize Ferries
• Minimize Motorail Trains
If you select route options with a tick, the corresponding types of roads will be avoided in the route guidance where possible.
To activate navigation mode: press the
function button once or twice.
To show the menu: press
the COMAND
controller.
Select Navi in the main function bar by
sliding and turning
the COMAND
controller and press to confirm.
Select Mode and press to
confirm.

Select a route type and press
to confirm.
The icon indicates the current
setting.
Select the route option(s) and press
to
confirm.
The route options are switched on
or off
, depending on the previous status.
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.
The route calculated may, for example,
include ferry connections, even if the
Minimize 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. A note then appears
in the COMAND display.
To exit the menu: slide the COMAND controller.
