General notes
WARNING
COMAND calculates the route to the
destination without taking into account the
following, for example:
• Traffic lights
• Stop and right-of-way signs
• Lane merging
• Parking or stopping prohibited areas
• Other road and traffic rules and regulations
• Narrow bridges
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map does
not correspond with the actual road/ traffic
situation. For example, if the traffic routing
has been changed or the direction of a oneway
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.
Route guidance begins once a route has been calculated.
COMAND guides you to your destination by means of navigation commands in the form of audible navigation announcements and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can only be seen if the display is switched to navigation mode.
If you do not follow the navigation announcements or if you leave the calculated route, COMAND automatically calculates a new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
• when selecting a route, COMAND tries to
avoid roads that only have limited access,
e.g. roads closed to through traffic and nonresidents.
• roads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed on Sundays and public
holidays) are
avoided for route guidance.
