Function of Traffic Sign Assist

Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with multifunction camera . It assists you by displaying detected speed limits and overtaking restrictions in the instrument cluster.

Traffic Sign Assist also uses the stored map data. Therefore, the display is updated without a traffic sign having been detected:
  • when the vehicle changes roads, e.g. motorway exit or slip road

  • when a village or town boundary stored in the digital map is passed

The system displays the traffic signs valid for the vehicle model registration. A distinction is made between the road signs valid for a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) ≤3.5 t, >3.5 t and camper vans.

If the system detects that you are driving onto a section of road in the wrong direction of travel, it triggers a warning.

The camera also detects traffic signs with a restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g. when wet).

Warning when the maximum permissible speed is exceeded

The system can warn you if you unintentionally exceed the maximum permissible speed. To do this, you can specify in the multimedia system by how much the maximum permissible speed can be exceeded before a warning is issued. You can specify whether the warning is to be just a visual warning or an audible one as well.

Display in the Instrument Display
Instrument Display (colour display)
Permissible speed

Additional sign with a restriction

Only one of traffic signs or is displayed at any one time in the Instrument Display, if necessary with additional sign . If two valid traffic signs are detected at the same time, a plus sign appears next to the traffic sign in the Instrument Display as an indication that both traffic signs are displayed in the navigation system.

Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all countries. If it is unavailable, display is shown in the speedometer.

System limits
The system may be impaired or may not function in the following situations:
  • The system is affected by poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, highly variable shade conditions, or due to rain, snow, fog or heavy spray

  • The system is impaired by glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections

  • The system is affected by dirt on the windscreen in the area of the multifunction camera, or because the camera is misted up, damaged or covered

  • The traffic signs are difficult to detect, e.g. due to dirt, because they are covered, or due to snow or insufficient lighting

  • The information in the navigation system's digital map is incorrect or out-of-date

  • The system is affected by ambiguous signs, e.g. traffic signs on construction sites or in adjacent lanes
