Safety Instructions

G
Warning
For safety reasons, only enter a destination
when the vehicle is stationary. When the ve-
hicle is in motion, a passenger should enter
the destination. Study manual and select
route before driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximate-
ly 14 m) every second.
COMAND calculates the route to the desti-
nation without taking account of the follow-
ing:
Traffic lights
Stop and right-of-way signs
Lane merging
Parking or stopping prohibited areas
Other road and traffic rules and regula-
tions
Narrow bridges
G
Warning
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map
does not correspond with the actual road/
traffic situation. Digital maps do not cover
all areas nor all routes within an area. For ex-
ample, if the traffic routing has been
changed or the direction of a one-way road
has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and regula-
tions during your journey. Road and traffic
rules and regulations always have priority
over the navigation commands generated by
the system.
G
Warning
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting
your attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Consulting the symbols or map display for
directions may cause you to divert your at-
tention from driving and increase your risk
of an accident.
