Additional functions of Traffic Sign Assist
(country-specific)
In some countries, the system can issue a warn‐
ing in the following situations:
R
if you drive onto a section of road in the
wrong direction of travel (only vehicles with
Driving Assistance Package)
R
if you approach pedestrian crossings, provi‐
ded that pedestrians are in the danger zone
or are moving towards it
R
if you unintentionally drive past stop signs,
give way signs or red lights, provided that the
sign is clearly visible
If no clear sign is detected or if multiple signs of
traffic lights with different signals are detected,
no warning can be issued.
You can set the warning to be only optical (a
message in the Instrument Display) or that it
should also be acoustic with a warning tone.
System limits
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
R
If visibility is poor, e.g. due to insufficient illu‐
mination of the road, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog, swirling dust or
heavy spray.
R
If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
direct sunlight or reflections.
R
If there is dirt on the windscreen in the area
of the multifunction camera or the camera is
misted up, damaged or obscured.
R
If traffic signs are hard to detect, e.g. due to
dirt, snow, ice, insufficient lighting or driving
too close to the vehicle in front, or because
they are covered, faded, damaged, badly
positioned or twisted.
R
Active traffic signs with LED displays may not
be detected correctly or at all due to techni‐
cal factors (station frequency).
R
If the information on the navigation system's
digital map is incorrect, incomplete or out of
date.
R
If signs or the road layout is ambiguous, e.g.
traffic signs in roadworks, at exits and
ramps, in neighbouring lanes or parallel
roads.
R
If signs do not conform to the standard.
R
If signs or road layouts are specific to the
country and deviate from the route guidance
in the navigation system, e.g. at or beyond
construction sites.
R
If you turn sharply on tight bends, you may
pass traffic signs that are outside the cam‐
era's field of vision.
R
If the system detects incorrectly.
R
If you overtake vehicles with traffic signs
attached.
R
When using transport equipment secured to
the vehicle by a trailer coupling, e.g. a bicycle
rack, restrictions for car/trailer combinations
may be considered valid if applicable.
