you operate the turn signal in the correspond-
ing direction. In this event, the warnings are
suppressed for a certain period of time.
R
a driving safety system, such as ABS, BAS or
ESP
®
, intervenes or performs a control
action.

warning vibration when:
R

cles with an automatic transmission.
R
you brake sharply.
R
you steer actively, e.g. swerve to avoid an
obstacle or change lanes quickly.

In order that you are warned only when neces-
sary and in good time if you cross the lane mark-
ing, the system recognises certain conditions
and warns you accordingly.
The warning vibration occurs earlier if:
R
you approach the outer lane marking on a
bend.
R
the road has very wide lanes, e.g. a motorway.
R
the system recognises solid lane markings.

Traffic Sign Assist
General notes
Traffic Sign Assist shows speed limits and over-
taking restrictions in the display. If you drive into
a section of road in the wrong direction, it will
warn you visually and acoustically. Traffic Sign
Assist detects traffic signs with camera sys-
tem
:
attached behind the top of the wind-
screen. The data and general traffic regulations
stored in the navigation system are also used to
determine the current speed limit.
If a traffic sign that is relevant to your vehicle is
passed, the display of the speed limits and over-
taking restrictions is updated.
The display can also be updated without a visible
traffic sign if:
R
the vehicle changes roads, as in a motorway
exit or slip road, for example
R
a village or town boundary is passed which is
stored in the digital map of the navigation
system
R
the last traffic sign detected by the camera
has not been repeated
If a sign indicating the end of a restriction for a
speed limit or overtaking restriction is passed,
the sign is shown for five seconds in the display.
The applicable traffic regulation then appears in
the instrument cluster.
The camera also detects traffic signs with a
restriction indicated by an additional sign, e.g.
"When wet".
The traffic signs are only displayed with the
restrictions if:
R
the regulation must be observed with the
restriction, or
R
Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine
whether the restriction applies
If Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine a
maximum permitted speed from any of the avail-
able sources, no speed limit is displayed in the
instrument cluster either.
Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all coun-
tries. In this case, symbol
:
is shown in the
assistance graphic display (
