Change of direction

Overview

Changes of direction have three phases:

Preparation phase

Announcement phase

Change-of-direction phase

Changes in direction are also shown in the

multifunction display of the instrument clus-

ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).

Preparation phase

COMAND prepares you for the upcoming

change of direction, e.g. with the announce-

ment "Prepare to turn right". You see the full-

screen map.

Announcement phase

Next road or direction

;

Point at which the change of direction

takes place (white dot)

Change of direction (turn right here)

Distance to the next change of direction

COMAND announces the imminent change of

direction. The change of direction is

announced ahead of time, such as with the

announcement "Turn right in 200 meters".
The display is now split into two sectors. The

map is shown on the left side of the display,

and a detailed image of the intersection or a

3D image of the imminent change of direction

is shown on the right side of the display.

Change-of-direction phase

COMAND announces an imminent change of

direction. The change of direction is

announced ahead of time, e.g. with the

announcement "Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announce-

ment phase.
The change of direction is performed when

the light-color bar on the right drops down to

0 ft and the current vehicle position symbol

has reached the white change-of-direction

point.
When the change of direction is completed,

the map will appear in full screen mode again.

Display on highways

The image shows an example of route guid-

ance at a highway intersection when driving

on a highway.
