Route guidance within a partially
digitized area
If you start route guidance in this type of area,
you will hear the following announcement:
You are currently in an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.
Route guidance is provided by means of a
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination. COMAND will not
generate automatic navigation
announcements.
If you try to call up an announcement
manually, (Y page 140) you will hear the
announcement You are currently in an
area where turn by turn guidance
cannot be provided.
During route guidance, the display is divided.
On the right-hand side you will see the
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination.
On the left-hand side of the display you will
see the map with the suggested route. The
suggested route is highlighted blue. However,
it may not be possible to follow the suggested
route because, for example, the road is
closed or not open for car traffic.
If, during route guidance, COMAND leads you
back into a fully digitalized area, route
guidance will simply continue in the usual
manner.

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

the route. Off-road routes may be of varying
conditions and their 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.
COMAND can guide you to destinations
within the area covered by the digital map,
even if a destination is not located at a road
known to the system.
These destinations are shown as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using the
map, for example. In these cases, COMAND
