Skoda Octavia Operating Instructions Manual page 165

WARNING
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
■
responsibility for the vehicle operation.
Vertical traffic signs must always take precedence over the traffic signs
■
shown in the display. The driver is always responsible for correctly assess-
ing the traffic situation.
Traffic signs may not be recognised at all by the system, or may be recog-
■
nised incorrectly. As a result, the traffic signs may not be displayed at all, or
the wrong one may appear.
On the system side, only a traffic sign display is undertaken, neither a
■
warning when limit is exceeded or driving speed adjustment is undertaken!
The speed information in the displayed traffic signs relate to the custom-
■
ary speed units in that land. For example, the display  may therefore refer
in specific countries km / h or mph.
Note
The system is only available in some countries.
