WARNING
Traffic sign detection only operates as a support. Real traffic signs always

■
have priority over electronic displays. The driver is always responsible for cor-
rectly assessing the traffic situation.
Traffic signs may not be recognised at all by the system, or may be recog-
■
nised incorrectly. As a result, the traffic signs may not be displayed at all, or
the wrong one may appear.
Traffic sign recognition does not warn about exceeding the maximum per-
■
mitted speed nor does it adjust the driving speed to the maximum speed!
The display is based on standard national speed units. The display  in the
■
instrument cluster display can therefore be in km/h or mph depending on the
150
country concerned.

Note
Traffic sign recognition is not available in all countries.
