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.
