COMAND determines the vehicle's position. Depending on the
driving situation, this may take some time.
Route guidance may be restricted during the determination of
the vehicle's position.
When positioning is complete, route guidance is resumed with
navigation announcements and route guidance displays.
Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions
COMAND has an integrated hard drive on which the digital map is
stored.
To protect the integrated hard drive against damage, COMAND
deactivates it at very high and low temperatures. The navigation
system will then be temporarily unavailable.
Let the vehicle and COMAND cool down.

The navigation system will be operational again until it has to
access the faulty area of the hard drive once more. The message
will then reappear.
