section of road in the wrong direction triggers a
warning. Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs

top of the windscreen. The data and general
traffic regulations stored in the navigation sys-
tem are also used to determine the current
speed limit.

passed, the display of the speed limits and over-
taking restrictions is updated.
