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).
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.
