Traffic Sign Assist can detect following addi‐
tional signs 3 and, if necessary, analyse the
relevance of the restrictions using other vehicle
sensors:
in wet conditions
R
on slippery road surfaces
R
in fog
R
temporary restrictions
R
exits
R
limits for car/trailer combinations

Traffic Sign Assist also uses data from the digital
street map in the navigation system. Therefore,
when you leave or enter a municipality or change
roads, on a motorway exit or slip road for exam‐
ple, or after you turn at a junction, the display in
the driver display can be updated without a traf‐
fic sign having been detected.
If Traffic Sign Assist cannot determine the cur‐
rently applicable maximum permissible speed
(e.g. due to missing signs), the following display
appears in the driver display:
Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all coun‐
tries. If the vehicle is in a country where Traffic
Sign Assist is not supported, this is displayed
continuously.

sages in Traffic Sign Assist (
Warning when the maximum permissible
speed is exceeded
The system can warn you if you unintentionally
exceed the maximum permissible speed. To do
this, you can specify in the multimedia system
by how much the maximum permissible speed
can be exceeded before a warning is issued. You
can set the warning to visual only (the traffic
sign flashes three times in the driver display) or
visual and acoustic, including a warning tone.
Additional functions of Traffic Sign Assist
(country-specific)
Warning for no-entry signs: Traffic Sign Assist
can warn you if you drive the wrong way down a
section of road, for example on motorway slip
roads or one-way streets.
Warning at pedestrian crossings: if you
approach pedestrian crossings, provided that
pedestrians are in the danger zone or are moving
towards it, Traffic Sign Assist can warn you up to
a speed of approximately 70 km/h.
Warning at stop signs: Traffic Sign Assist can
warn you up to a speed of approximately
page 503).
/
70 km/h if you are about to drive past a stop
sign unintentionally. For this to be possible, the
signs must be clear, for example if the system
detects more than one stop sign, or a stop sign
can be confirmed using the digital navigation
map. No warning can be issued if several differ‐
ent signs are detected.
Warning at red lights: Traffic Sign Assist can
warn you up to a speed of approximately
70 km/h if you are about to drive through a red
light unintentionally.
The following conditions must be fulfilled:
