The traffic sign recognition (following known as system) shows certain traffic
signs (e.g. speed limits) on the display of the instrument cluster and if necessa-
ry warns against excessive speeds.
WARNING
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
■
systems » page 128, in section Introduction.
Vertical traffic signs must always take precedence over the traffic signs
■
shown in the display. The driver is always responsible for correctly assess-
ing the traffic situation.
Speed specifications in the displayed road signs refer to the customary
■
speed units. For example, the display  can therefore refer to country-spe-
cific km/h or mph.
WARNING
The traffic signs may not be displayed or displayed incorrectly in the system
e.g. in the following situations.
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.
■
The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-
■
hicle.
Travelling at high speed.
■
The traffic signs are covered (e.g. by trees, snow or dirt).
■
The traffic signs are not standard (round with a red border) or are dam-
■
aged.
The traffic signs are attached to flashing neon signs.
■
The traffic signs were changed (the navigation data are out of date).
■
Note
The system is only available in some countries.
