The system automatically detects the
recognisable traffic signs: speed limits,
no overtaking signs and signs indicating
the end of such prohibitions.
The camera is fitted behind the internal
rear view mirror. The sensor always
checks the traffic signs indicating the
current speed limit and possible no
overtaking signs.
IMPORTANT The system is designed to
read signs complying with the
specifications of the Vienna convention.

The system condition can always be
shown on the display.
The system displaying includes the
following two steps:
❒ All new traffic signs that can be
recognised are displayed as pop-ups
for 40 seconds over the other
signallings.
❒ After the preset time, they are
displayed in the dedicated screen on
the panel.
The system can display two traffic signs
(speed limit and no overtaking) at the
same time in the two dedicated areas
of the panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected,
e.g. a reduced speed limit for wet
road conditions, this is displayed as an
empty box under the relevant sign.
The additional signs are filtered as
follows:
❒ The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" will not be displayed if the
outside temperature is over 3°C.

are off and the outside temperature is
below 3°C.

be displayed if the vehicle weighs
less than 4-4.5 t.
❒ The speed limit sign will not be
displayed if coupled with the
additional "tractor" sign.
