Control systems
COMAND navigation system (route guidance)
Partially digitized areas If the destination is within a partially
digitized area
COMAND guides you through fully digitized
areas for as long as possible. Route guid-
ance is conducted in the usual manner, i.e.
with navigation announcements and route
guidance displays.
Before the vehicle reaches a partially digi-
tized area, COMAND notifies you of this
with the following announcements:
앫
“ Be prepared to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provid-
ed.
”
앫
“ In 700 feet you will enter an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.
”
앫
“ You are about to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provid-
ed.
”
Route guidance within a partially digi-
tized area
If you start route guidance in this type of
area, you will hear the following announce-
ment: “
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 an-
nouncements.
If you try to call up an announcement man-
ually, (
컄
page 213) you will hear the an-
nouncement “ You are currently in an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot be pro-
vided
.”.

The digital map may contain areas that are
only partially digitized although they are within a
digitized region.
Warning!
G
Due to incomplete digitization, the route
shown on the map may differ from the actual
road/traffic situation.
If you follow the route shown on the map, for
example, it is possible that you could drive
the wrong way down a one-way street or
that a street cannot be driven on.
When using route guidance in a partially dig-
itized area, you must therefore be sure to
observe all relevant traffic regulations and
the course of the road.
All relevant traffic regulations and the
course of the road always take priority over
the route shown on the map.

The indicated distance can be seen here by
way of example. In reality, it may be different.
