For this reason, you must always observe<br />
applicable road and traffic rules and<br />
regulations during your journey. Road and<br />
traffic rules and regulations always have<br />
priority over the navigation commands<br />
generated by the system.<br />
<strong>COMAND</strong> guides you to the destination by<br />
means of driving recommendations in the<br />
form of navigation announcements or route<br />
guidance displays.<br />
i The route guidance displays only appear<br />
if the display has been switched to<br />
navigation mode.<br />
If, for some reason, you do not follow the<br />
navigation announcements or if you leave the<br />
calculated route, <strong>COMAND</strong> automatically<br />
calculates a new route to the destination.<br />
If the map data contains corresponding<br />
information during route guidance, <strong>COMAND</strong><br />
tries to avoid roads with limited passability,<br />
e.g. roads that are blocked for through-traffic<br />
and are for residents only.<br />
Driving Maneuver<br />
Driving maneuvers are given in three phases:<br />
RPreparation phase<br />
RAnnouncement phase<br />
RManeuver phase<br />
Preparation Phase<br />
<strong>COMAND</strong> prepares you for the next driving<br />
maneuver. Based on the example display<br />
shown below, the announcement is made<br />
using Prepare to turn right. The display<br />
is not split and displays the map over the<br />
entire width.<br />
1 Next road to be taken<br />
2 Point at which the driving maneuver takes<br />
place (dot)<br />
3 Current vehicle location, the tip of the<br />
triangle points in the vehicle’s direction of<br />
travel<br />
4 Road currently being driven down<br />
i Depending on the basic setting selection<br />
in “Information on map” you will see in 4<br />
RInformation on “Arrival time/distance”<br />
RRoad currently being driven down<br />
RGeo-coordinate display.<br />
If you have selected the None menu item,<br />
the display is hidden.<br />
Announcement Phase<br />
Route Guidance 81<br />
<strong>COMAND</strong> announces the imminent driving<br />
maneuver. Based on the example display<br />
shown below, the announcement is made<br />
400 ft. ahead of the driving maneuver using<br />
Please turn left in 400 ft. and<br />
follow the ’road name’.<br />
i The announced distance to the maneuver<br />
depends on the class of road and its speed<br />
limit category.<br />
The display is now split into two sectors. In<br />
the left half, you see the normal map view.<br />
The right side shows an enlarged section of<br />
the area around the junction (Crossing Zoom)<br />
or a 3D image of the road's course with the<br />
route indicating the next maneuver.<br />
