Traffic Sign Assist
Function of Traffic Sign Assist
Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs using
multifunction camera 1 . It assists you by dis‐
playing detected speed limits and overtaking
restrictions in the instrument cluster.
Since Traffic Sign Assist also uses the data
stored in the navigation system, it can update
the display in the following situations without
detecting traffic signs:
R
When the vehicle changes roads, e.g. slip
road or motorway exit.
R
When a village or town boundary is passed
which is stored in the digital map.
The camera also detects traffic signs with a
restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g.
relating to wet conditions).
Warning when the maximum permissible
speed is exceeded
The system can warn you if you unintentionally
exceed the maximum permissible speed. To do
this, you can specify in the multimedia system
by how much the maximum permissible speed
can be exceeded before a warning is issued. You
can specify whether the warning is to be just a
visual warning or an acoustic one as well.
