Traffic Sign Assist
▌ Function of Traffic Sign Assist
The traffic sign assistant detects the traffic signs
with the multifunction camera and compares
them with the information on the digital road map
of the navigation system. It assists you by display-
ing detected speed limits and overtaking restric-
tions in the driver's display and in the head-up dis-
play. The system can issue a warning when you
exceed the maximum permissible speed.
In some countries, the system can provide you
with further functions and can warn you when you
are approaching pedestrian crossings or when
you are about to drive past stop signs or red lights
unintentionally.
