Traffic Sign Assist
Function of Traffic Sign Assist
Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with mul‐
tifunction camera 1 and compares this with
information in the digital navigation map. It
assists you by displaying detected speed limits
and overtaking restrictions in the Instrument
Display and in the head-up display. The system
can issue a warning when you exceed the maxi‐
mum permissible speed. In some countries, the
system can provide further functions such as
warning when the vehicle is approaching pedes‐
trian crossings or warning when stop signs, give
way signs or red lights are crossed unintention‐
ally.
The camera also detects and analyses traffic
signs with a restriction indicated by an additional
sign (e.g. when wet).
Traffic Sign Assist only visualises selected signs
in the Instrument Display. Actual traffic signs
and speed limits always have priority over traffic
signs and speed limits shown in the Instrument
Display.
Always observe the following notes:
R

and your immediate surroundings
R

rounding and weather conditions

tions

responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nise dangers (/ page 203).
