Traffic Sign Assist
Function of Traffic Sign Assist
Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with the
multifunction camera ( page 168). It assists
/
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 ( page 167).
/
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).
Warning when the maximum permissible
speed is exceeded
The system can warn you if you unintentionally
exceed the maximum permissible speed. To do
this, you can specify in the multimedia system
by how much the maximum permissible speed
can be exceeded before a warning is issued. You
can specify whether the warning is to be just a
visual warning or an acoustic one as well.

play: a + symbol next to a traffic sign in the
Instrument Display indicates that additional
traffic signs have been detected. These can
also be displayed in the media display and
optionally in the head-up display.
If Traffic Sign Assist cannot determine the cur‐
rent maximum permissible speed (e.g. due to
missing signs), the following display appears in
the Instrument Display:
This is displayed continuously if the vehicle is in
a country where Traffic Sign Assist is not sup‐
ported. Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all
countries.

sages in Traffic Sign Assist ( page 418).
