General Notes - Mercedes-Benz Comand Operating Instructions Manual

When recording the route, bear in mind the fol-
lowing:
if the SD memory card is inserted, it must not
R
be removed during recording.
If route recording is started manually, it must
R
be finished manually before the multimedia
system is switched off (e. g. when the engine
is switched off).
The multimedia system minimizes the num-
R
ber of route points recorded. Therefore when
the recorded route is subsequently com-
menced, it may differ from the route that was
originally recorded.

Route guidance

General notes

The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking the following into
account, for example:
traffic lights
R
stop and yield signs
R
parking or stopping restrictions
R
road narrowing
R
temporary traffic rules and regulations
R
The navigation system can give differing driving
recommendations if the actual street/traffic sit-
uation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. For example, if the road layout or
the direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over system driving recom-
mendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated ( page 60).
Y
The multimedia system guides you to your des-
tination by means of navigation announcements
in the form of audible navigation announce-
ments and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if nav-
igation mode is switched on.
If you do not follow the navigation announce-
ments or if you leave the calculated route, the
multimedia system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
During route guidance, the multimedia sys-
R
tem tries to avoid roads with restricted
access. These include, for example, roads
which are closed to through-traffic.
Roads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed
R
on Sundays and public holidays) are consid-
ered for route guidance on days when they are
