Navigation Features of your COMAND Online This Supplement describes all the standard and optional equipment for your COMAND Online system, as available at the time of going to print. Country-specific differences are possible. Please note that your COMAND Online system may not be equip- ped with all the features described.
Introduction Important safety notes G WARNING For safety reasons, only enter a new destina- tion when the vehicle is stationary. You may otherwise be distracted from the traffic con- ditions, cause an accident and injure yourself and others. COMAND Online calculates the route to the destination without taking account of the fol- lowing, for example: Rtraffic lights Rstop and give way signs Rparking or stopping restrictions
Navigation 315
Rroad narrowing Rother road and traffic rules and regulations COMAND Online may give incorrect driving recommendations if the data on the digital map does not correspond to actual condi- tions. For example, a route may have been diverted or the direction of a one-way street may have 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 the system's driving recommendations.
General notes Operational readiness of the navigation system In vehicles for certain countries, the naviga- tion system is not operational immediately after delivery. The digital map is not pre- installed. If this is the case, the following message appears in the display after you switch to nav- igation mode: Please insert the map DVD to acti‐ vate navigation. X To install the digital map: (Y page 374). The navigation system must determine the position of the vehicle before first use or whenever operational status is restored. Therefore, you may have to drive for a while before precise route guidance is possible. GPS reception Correct functioning of the navigation system depends, amongst other things, on GPS reception. In certain situations, GPS recep- tion may be impaired, there may be interfer- ence or there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels or multi-storey car parks. i The functionality of a roof aerial (tele-
phone, GPS) may be impaired if roof carri- ers are used.
Entry restriction On vehicles for certain countries, there is a restriction on entering data. The restriction is active above a vehicle speed of about 5 km/h. The restriction is deactiva- ted as soon as the vehicle speed drops below about 3 km/h. When the restriction is active, certain entries cannot be made. This will be indicated by the fact that certain menu items are greyed out and cannot be selected. The following entries are not possible, for example: Rentering the destination town and street Rentering a destination via the map Rentering POIs in the vicinity of a town or via
a name search Rediting entries Rdirect entry using the number keypad Other entries are possible, however, such as entering POIs in the vicinity of the destination or current position.

To avoid routes requiring a special toll sticker: route calculation is performed without taking into consideration route net- works (e.g. a country's motorway network) for which a toll (vignette) is due. A vignette allows temporary use of the route network. Example time limits are 10 days, 2 months or 1 year.

Entering a destination Important safety notes G WARNING For safety reasons, only enter a new destina- tion when the vehicle is stationary. You could otherwise be distracted from the traffic con- ditions, cause an accident and injure yourself and others.
Entering a destination by address Introduction Options for destination entry: Renter the country, town/postcode, street
and house number
Renter the country, town/postcode and

Renter the country, town/postcode and

Renter the country, town/postcode, street

Renter the country and town Country and town are sufficient to start nav- igating. You can enter either a town or a post- code. By entering further address data such as the street and house number, you can specify the destination more precisely.
Route settings (end of menu) You can select the following route types: RFast route: COMAND Online calculates a route with the shortest (minimised) journey time. RDynamic route: same route type as Fast route. In addition, COMAND Online takes into account any RDS-TMC traffic reports it receives during route guidance. The navi- gation system can help you avoid a traffic jam, for example. If a faster route is deter- mined due to a received RDS-TMC traffic announcement, the navigation system changes the route. If possible, it will bypass blocked roads. REco route: the Eco route is a variant of the Fast route route type. COMAND Online will attempt to minimise the journey distance at the expense of a slightly increased journey time. RShort route: COMAND Online calculates a route with the shortest possible (mini- mised) route distance.
i RDS-TMC is not available in all countries. i The route calculated may, for example, include ferry connections, even if the Avoid ferries route option is switched on. In some cases, COMAND Online may not be able to take all the selected route options into account, e.g. when calculating particularly long routes.
