Lane recommendations

Overview

On multilane roads, COMAND can display lane recommendations for the next change of direction. The corresponding data must be available in the digital map.

COMAND displays lane recommendations 6, based on the next two changes of direction. The number of lanes applies to the point at which the next change of direction is required.

Using car pool lanes

COMAND displays car pool lanes if you have selected this option in the route options.

If this is the case, COMAND checks whether there are any car pool lanes on the route. If there are, they are taken into account during route calculation. Route guidance will then include car pool lanes.

Car pool lanes may only be used under certain conditions. Please observe the relevant legal requirements.
