Traffic Sign Assist
Function of Traffic Sign Assist
Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with the
multifunction camera and compares this with
information in the digital navigation map. It
assists you by displaying detected speed limits
and overtaking restrictions in the driver display
and in the head-up display. The system can issue
a warning when you exceed the maximum per‐
missible 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.
The camera also detects and analyzes traffic
signs with a restriction indicated by an additional
sign (e.g. when wet).
Traffic Sign Assist only visualizes selected signs
in the driver display. Actual traffic signs and
speed limits have priority over traffic signs and
speed limits shown in the driver display.
Also observe the following information:
R
Select a speed adapted to the traffic, sur‐
roundings and weather conditions
R
Observe actual traffic signs
R
Observe applicable traffic rules and regula‐
tions
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nize dangers (

The system can show up to two traffic signs in
the driver display simultaneously. The system
always prioritizes displaying speed limits. Up to
one traffic sign with a maximum permissible
speed can be shown in the head-up display. If
two speed signs are shown in the driver display,
for example, when speed limits are detected, the
value of left-hand speed limit 1 is transmitted
to the limiter or Active Distance Assist
