Off-road and off-map
Route guidance to an off-road
destination
G
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 responsibility to determine
the suitability of 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
guides you for as long as possible with
navigation announcements and displays on
roads known to the system.
Shortly before you reach the last known the
point to leave the digitized road network, you
will hear the announcement
The
destination is nearby. Follow the
arrow on the display
.
You will then see an arrow that indicates the
direction to the off-road destination. When
the off-road destination is close to the road,
Area of dest. reached
appears in addition
below the arrow.
The section of the route from the last known
point on the map to the off-road destination
is indicated with a dashed line after a certain
length. It simply shows the direction to the
off-road destination without taking account of
any type of obstacles in the way.

On the off-road section of the route, direction
arrows showing the compass heading to the
destination guide you. You will also see the
Direction to destination
display.
Route guidance from an off-road
location to a destination
If there is no road available on map at current
position of the car, vehicle is off road.
COMAND is also able to guide you to a
destination from such a location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see
the
Off Road
message and a direction arrow.
The direction arrow shows the compass
heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue from the nearest
road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
The road geometry may differ from the data
on the digital map, due to road construction,
for example.
In such cases, the system cannot allocate the
vehicle position to the digital map and the
vehicle is therefore in an off-road position.
