area around the vehicle. The driver is always
responsible
for assessing the traffic situa-
tion.

weather, road and traffic conditions. The dis-
played information must never cause you to
ignore legal traffic regulations and pose a
safety risk.

you should always monitor your speed using
the speedometer and make sure you are ad-
hering to the legal speed limit.

mendation shown in the display.

Tips
Traffic light information was only available
in select cities at the time this manual was
printed.
Traffic light information is not available na-
tionwide.
~The functions depend on the navigation da-
ta* being up-to-date and correct identifica-
tion by the traffic sign recognition*.
~ Incorrect values from the camera-based
traffic sign recognition* or outdated naviga-
tion system* map data can result in missing
or incorrect display images.
~ Certain traffic lights can automatically ad-
just to the current traffic situation. If this
occurs, the display of traffic light informa-
tion can change suddenly.
