a traffic sign having been detected.

tries. If the vehicle is in a country where Traffic
Sign Assist is not supported, this is displayed
continuously.

can be exceeded before a warning is issued. You
can set the warning to visual only (the traffic
sign flashes three times in the driver display) or
visual and acoustic, including a warning tone.
