Traffic Sign Assist aids you by displaying detected speed limits and overtaking restrictions in the instrument cluster.
Since Traffic Sign Assist also uses the data stored in the navigation system, it can also update the display without detecting traffic signs.
The camera also detects traffic signs with a restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g. when wet).
the traffic signs must be observed with the restriction
the system is unable to clearly determine whether the restriction applies
If the system detects that you are driving onto a section of road in the wrong direction of travel, it triggers a warning. This function is not available in all countries.
Traffic Sign Assist is only an aid and is not always able to correctly display speed limits and overtaking restrictions. The actual traffic signs always have priority over the Traffic Sign Assist display.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers More.
The Traffic Sign Assist display appears in the Assistance graphic menu of the on-board computer More.
If Traffic Sign Assist is not available or cannot determine the maximum permissible speed, the following display appears in the assistance graphic:
If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, highly variable shade conditions, or due to rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections.
If there is dirt on the windscreen in the vicinity of the multifunction camera or if the camera is misted up, damaged or obscured.
If the traffic signs are hard to detect, e.g. due to dirt or snow, or because they are covered, or due to insufficient lighting.
If there are ambiguous signs, e.g. traffic signs in road works or adjacent lanes.
If the information in the navigation system's digital map is incorrect or out-of-date.
