Operation
Traffic sign detection system Intr oduction The traffic sign detection system can help the
driver w
ith inf
ormation on speed limits or if
overtaking is prohibited at that moment.
The traffic signs and additional information
detected by the system are represented on
the instrument panel display and in the visu-
al presentation of the Infotainment system
(representation of the navigation system
map).
Countries in which it works
When this instruction manual went to print,
the traffic sign detection system was operat-
ing in the following countries:
Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lux-
embourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the
United Kingdom and the Vatican City. WARNING
The technology in the traffic sign detection
sys t
em cannot change the limits imposed by
the laws of physics and only works within the
system's limits. Do not let the extra conven-
ience afforded by the traffic sign detection system tempt you into taking any risks when
drivin
g.
The system is not a replacement for
driver awareness.
● Adapt your speed and driving style to suit
vis
ibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
● Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and fog
may
lead to the system failing to display traf-
fic signs or not displaying them correctly.
● If the camera's field of vision is dirty, cov-
ered or dam
aged, system operation may be
impaired. WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic indi-
cation s
shown on the traffic sign detection
system may differ from the actual current
traffic situation.
● The system may not detect or correctly
show al
l the traffic signs.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority ov
er the recommendations and dis-
plays provided by the system. Note
In order not to compromise the system's op-
eration, p l
ease take the following points into
account:
● Regularly clean the area of vision of the
camera and k
eep it in a clean state, without
snow or ice. ●
Do not c o
ver the field of vision of the cam-
era.
● Check that the windscreen is not damaged
in the area of
the camera's field of vision. Note
● The u se of out
dated maps on the naviga-
tion system may cause the system to show
traffic signs incorrectly.
● In the route points mode of the navigation
syst
em, the traffic sign detection system is
only partly available. 208
Operation
If the windscreen wiper is
w ork
in
g while you are driving, the signal
with the additional rain sign will be
shown first, on the left, as it is the one
that is applicable at the time.
A sign valid only with restrictions, e.g.
No overtaking at certain times, will be
displayed third ››› Fig. 211 C.
Town or city entrance and exit signs activate
the display of current speed limits in the
country's cities or roads. If there is an addi-
tional speed limit sign next to the town or
city entrance and exit signs, this sign will al-
so be displayed.
Signs indicating the end of a speed limit or
the end of an overtaking prohibition are not
displayed.
No warning will be given if the speed limit
sign displayed is exceeded. The correspond-
ing legal provisions are applicable.
Activating and deactivating traffic sign dis-
play on the instrument panel
The permanent display of traffic signs on the
instrument panel can be activated or deacti-
vated on the infotainment system by means

The Tiredness detection informs the driver
when their driving behaviour shows signs of
fatigue. WARNING
Do not let the comfort afforded by the Tired-
nes s
detection system tempt you into taking
any risks when driving. Take regular breaks,
sufficient in length when making long jour-
neys.
● The driver always assumes the responsibil-
ity of driv
ing to their full capacity. ●
Never driv e if
you are tired.
● The system does not detect the tiredness of
the driver in al
l circumstances. Consult the in-
formation in the section ››› page 211, System
limitations.
● In some situations, the system may incor-
rectly int
erpret an intended driving manoeu-
vre as driver tiredness.
● No warning is given in the event of the ef-
fect c
alled microsleep!
● Please observe the indications on the in-
strument p
anel and act as is necessary. Note
● Tiredne s
s detection has been developed for
driving on motorways and well paved roads
only.
● If there is a fault in the system, have it
check
ed by a specialised workshop.210

the rolling circumference of one or more
wheels has changed, the tyre monitoring in-
dicator will indicate this on the instrument

● Tyre pressure is insufficient
● Tyre structure is damaged
● The vehicle is unbalanced because of a

● The vehicle is fitted with snow chains
● The temporary spare wheel is fitted
● The wheel on one axle is changed
