Traffic Sign Assist
Function of Traffic Sign Assist
Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with the
multifunction camera (
you by displaying detected speed limits and
overtaking restrictions in the instrument cluster.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nise dangers (
or None.
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.
If the system detects that you are driving onto a
section of road in the wrong direction of travel, it
triggers a warning.
The camera also detects traffic signs with a
restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g.
when wet). These are only displayed if a restric‐
tion applies or if the system cannot clearly deter‐
mine whether the restriction applies.
