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.
Introduction
Operating safety
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.
