Traffic Sign Recognition; Notifications And Settings - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

The system works on the basis of the data captured by the camera and is only
able to show traffic signs which are in the camera's "viewing range"
Data from the camera can be supplemented by information from the Infotainment
Navigation. This is the reason why traffic signs with maximum speeds can also be
shown on sections of roads which do not have any traffic signs.
The system may not be available or may only be available to a limited extent in
the following situations.
›
Poor visibility conditions, e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall.
›
The camera is blinded by the sun.
›
The camera is blinded by the oncoming traffic.
›
The camera "viewing range" is obstructed by an obstacle.
›
Travelling at high speed.
›
The traffic signs are fully or partially obscured (e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other
vehicles).
›
The traffic signs are not standard (round with a red border).
›
The traffic signs are damaged or bent.
›
The traffic signs are attached to flashing neon signs.
›
The traffic signs were changed (the navigation data are out of date).
