TION ASSIST still detects increasing lapses in
concentration, you will be warned again after
15 minutes at the earliest. This will only hap-
pen if ATTENTION ASSIST still detects typical indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration.
If a warning is output in the multifunction dis-
play, a service station search is performed in
COMAND Online. You can select a service
station and navigation to this service station
will then begin. This function can be activated
and deactivated in COMAND Online. Traffic Sign Assist
General notes Traffic Sign Assist displays the maximum
speed permitted and overtaking restrictions
to the driver in the instrument cluster. Driving onto a section of road in the wrong direction
triggers a warning. Traffic Sign Assist detects
traffic signs with camera system :attached
behind the top of the windscreen. 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 vehicleis passed, the display of the speed limits and
overtaking restrictions is updated. The display can also be updated without a
visible traffic sign if:
R the vehicle changes roads (e.g. motorway
exit or slip road)
R a village or town boundary is passed which
is stored in the digital map
R the last traffic sign detected by the camera
has not been repeated
If a sign indicating the end of a restriction
(speed limit or overtaking restriction) is
passed, the sign is displayed for five seconds.
Vehicles with colour multifunction dis-
play: the currently applicable traffic regula-
tion continues to be shown in the assistance
graphic display (Y page 243).
The camera also detects traffic signs with a
restriction indicated by an additional sign
(e.g. in wet conditions).
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
available sources, no speed limit is displayed
in the instrument cluster either. Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all coun-
tries. In vehicles with a colour multifunction
display, display :is shown in the multifunc-
tion display. 218
Driving systemsDriving and parking
Important safety notes
Traffic Sign Assist is only an aid and is not
always able to correctly display speed limits
and overtaking restrictions. Traffic signs
always have priority over the Traffic Sign
Assist display.
The system may be either functionally
impaired or temporarily unavailable if:
R visibility is poor, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog
or spray
R there is glare, e.g. from the sun being low in
the sky
R there is dirt, ice or misting on the wind-
screen in the vicinity of the camera
R traffic signs are hard to detect (dirt, ice,
snow)
R the traffic signs are insufficiently lit at night
R signs are ambiguous (e.g. traffic signs on
construction sites or in adjacent lanes)
R the information in the digital street map of
the navigation system is incorrect or out of
date
Activating Traffic Sign Assist X
Vehicles with colour multifunction dis-
play: activate the Traffic Sign Assist display
using the on-board computer
(Y page 243).
X Vehicles with black and white multi-
function display: activate the Traffic Sign
Assist message function using the on-
board computer (Y page 243).
If you have activated the Traffic Sign Assist
display in the on-board computer, the traffic
regulations (speed limits and overtaking
restrictions) are displayed in the instrument
cluster for five seconds respectively. The
wrong-way warning and the traffic sign dis-
play for speed limits and overtaking restric-
tions remain active even when the display has been deactivated. Instrument cluster display i
The following illustrations are examples of
vehicles with colour multifunction display.
The illustrations of vehicles with black and
white multifunction display differ from
them.
i The unit for the speed limit (km/h or mph)
depends on the country in which you are
driving. It is generally neither shown on the
traffic sign nor on the instrument cluster
but must be taken into account when
observing the maximum permitted speed. Speed limit with overtaking restriction
A maximum permitted speed of 60 km/h
