Settings Affecting Route Calculation
and Dynamic Rerouting

You can perform the settings listed below
with route guidance inactive or active.

The following section replaces the section
“Route Mode” on page 55 of the COMAND
operator’s manual.

Route Mode

This function allows you to set the following
route calculation modes and options for rou­te guidance:

R

Short Route

COMAND calculates a route by minimizing
the driving distance without taking into ac­count traffic messages.

R

Dynamic Route

COMAND calculates a route by minimizing
the driving time and takes into account
traffic messages received along the route.
The navigation system thus can avoid traf­fic jams by recalculating the route dynami­cally.

R

Dynamic Route Only After Request

Same as

Dynamic Route

with the exception
that a message appears asking you whe­ther you want to allow the rerouting or not.

R

Fast Route

COMAND calculates a route by minimizing
the driving time without taking into ac­count traffic messages.
