Operating safety
Introduction
Operating safety
Warning G
Any alterations made to electronic components and the software can cause malfunctions.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer*, satellite
radio*, telephone*, navigation module and
voice control system* are interconnected.
When one of the components is not operational or has not been removed/replaced properly, the function of other components may
be impaired.
This condition might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service
work on electronic components carried out
only by qualified personnel.
Warning G
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should enter
system settings with the vehicle at a standstill and operate the system only when road
and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just
30 mp/h (approximately 50 km/h), your car
is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.
COMAND supplies you with information to
help you select your route more easily and
guide you conveniently and safely to your
destination. For safety reasons, we encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe
place before answering or placing a call, or
consulting the COMAND screen to read navigational maps, instructions, or downloaded information.
While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including
attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the system’s audio cues while
driving.
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. This always remains your personal responsibility
when you drive. DVD maps do not cover all
areas nor all routes within an area.
