Traffic sign detection system
Introduction
The traffic sign detection system can help the
driver with information on speed limits or if
overtaking is prohibited at that moment.
The traffic signs and additional information
detected by the system are represented on
the instrument panel display and in the visu-
al presentation of the Infotainment system
(representation of the navigation system
map).

visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and fog
●
may lead to the system failing to display traf-
fic signs or not displaying them correctly.
If the camera's field of vision is dirty, cov-
●
ered or damaged, system operation may be
impaired.
WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic indi-
cations shown on the traffic sign detection
system may differ from the actual current
traffic situation.
The system may not detect or correctly
●
show all the traffic signs.
●
Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority over the recommendations and dis-
plays provided by the system.
Note
In order not to compromise the system's op-
eration, please take the following points into
account:
Regularly clean the area of vision of the
●
camera and keep it in a clean state, without
snow or ice.
Do not cover the field of vision of the cam-
●
era.
●
Check that the windscreen is not damaged
in the area of the camera's field of vision.
Note
●
The use of outdated maps on the naviga-
tion system may cause the system to show
traffic signs incorrectly.
●
In the waypoints mode of the navigation
system, the traffic sign detection system is
only partly available.
