Traffic Sign Assist
▌Function of Traffic Sign Assist
Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with the
multifunction camera (
page 187). It assists
/
you by displaying detected speed limits and over-
taking restrictions in the Instrument Display.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (
page 187).
/
Since Traffic Sign Assist also uses the data stored
in the navigation system, it can update the display
in the following situations without detecting traffic
signs.
