Traffic Sign Recognition
Introduction
Traffic
Sign Recognition uses a camera
in the base of the interior mirror to
monitor standard
traffic
signs and in-
forms the driver of any detected speed
limits, overtaking restrictions and dan-
ger signs. Within the limits of the sys-
tem, the system also displays sub-
plates, e.g. temporary restrictions or re-
strictions in wet or foggy conditions. In
some cases, the system can also dis-
play the current speed limits on non-
signposted routes.
In addition to speed limits and overtaking
restrictions,
Traffic
Sign Recognition also
detects the sign which indicates that all re-
strictions have been
lifted
on motorways
and main roads in Germany. In all other
countries in which the system is operated,
the current speed limit is displayed instead.
The
traffic
signs detected by the
Traffic
Sign Recognition system are displayed on
the instrument cluster depending on the
selected information
profile.
Traffic
signs
may also be displayed in the Infotainment
system, depending on the system installed
in the vehicle.
Traffic
Sign Recognition is always active
when the ignition is switched on.

In the instrument cluster display: ex-
amples of recognised speed limits with ac-
companying sub-plates.
After
validation and evaluation of the infor-
mation from the camera, the Infotainment
system and the current vehicle data, the
activated
Traffic
Sign Recognition system
shows up to two valid
traffic
signs with the
accompanying sub-plates, depending on
the display location
→
:
The
traffic
sign that currently
applies is shown on the
left-hand
side of the display, e.g. a speed limit
of
130 km/h
(
80 mph
).
A further
traffic
sign may be
displayed in second position, e.g.
a danger sign, no overtaking sign or
an alternative speed limit.
A detected sub-plate, e.g. for
wet conditions or with time restric-
tions, is displayed under the valid
traffic
sign.
The display of danger signs is not available
in all countries and the system may not be
able to recognise all danger signs.
No-entry warning
If
Traffic
Sign Recognition detects a no-en-
try sign on a one-way road or motorway
slip road, it will issue an acoustic warning
signal or display a message on the instru-
ment cluster display.
WARNING
The intelligent technology of
Traffic
Sign
Recognition cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the lim-
its of the system. Do not let the extra con-
venience
afforded
by
Traffic
Sign Recogni-
tion tempt you into taking any risks when
driving. The system is not a substitute for
the full concentration of the driver.
