General notes Traffi
cSign Assist displays the maximum
spee dpermitted and overtaking restrictions
to the drive rinthe instrument cluster. Driving
onto asection of road in the wrong direction
trigger sawarning. Traffi cSign Assist detects
traffic signs with camera system :attached
behind the top of the windscreen. The data
and genera ltraffic regulations stored in the
navigation syste mare also use dtodetermine
the current spee dlimit. If
at raffic sign that is relevant to you rvehicle
is passed, the displayoft he speedlimits and
overtaking restrictions is updated.
The displayc an also be updated without a
visible traffic sign if:
R the vehicl echanges road s(e.g. motorway
exit or sli proad)
R av illage 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 as ign indicating the end of arestriction
(speed limi torovertaking restriction) is
passed, the sign is displayed for five seconds.
The currently applicable traffic regulation
continues to be show ninthe assistance
graphic display.
The camera also detects traffic signs with a
restriction indicated by an additiona lsign
(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 Traffi cSign Assist is unable to determine
whether the restriction applies
If Traffi cSign Assist is unable to determine a
maximu mpermitted spee dfrom any of the
available sources, no spee dlimi tisd isplayed
in the instrument cluster either. Traffi
cSign Assist is not available in allc oun-
tries. In this case, symbol :is show ninthe

R the distance to the vehicl einfront is too
smal land the lane markings thus cannot be
detected
R the lane markings change quickly, e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one another or
merge
R the road is narrow and winding
R there are highly variable shad econditions
on the road
If no vehicl eisdetected in the adjacent lane
and broken lane markings are detected, no
lane-correcting brake application is made.

WARNING
If you uncouple atrailer with an engaged over-
run brake, you could trap your hand between the vehicle and the trailer drawbar. This poses
ar isk of injury.
Do not uncouple atrailer with an engaged
overrun brake. G
WARNING
Vehicles with level control:
If you disconnect the trailer cable, the vehicle is lowered. This can cause you or others to
become trapped between the vehicle body
and tyres, or underneat hthe vehicle. This
poses arisk of injury.
Make sure that no-one is in the immediate
vicinit yofthe wheel arch or underneat hthe
vehicle when disconnectin gthe trailer cable.
! Do not disconnect
atrailer with an
engaged overrun brake. Otherwise, your
vehicle could be damaged by the rebound- ing of the overrun brake.
X Make sure that the transmission is in posi-
tion P.
X Apply the parking brake.
X Secure the trailer against rolling away.
X Remove the trailer cable and decouple the
trailer. Folding in the ball coupling

WARNING
If you release the ball coupling or it does not
engage correctly when folding in, it will swing out. Within pivoting range of the ball coupling,
there is an increased risk of an accident and
injury.
Only release the ball coupling if the pivoting
range is unobstructed. Always make sure that the ball coupling engages when folding in.
X Place the protective coverin gonthe ball
