TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION
This system is a driving aid that make
use of a camera located at the top of the
windscreen.
The camera detects the following types of
traffic signs and displays the corresponding
information in the instrument panel:
- speed limits,
- no overtaking.
The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
observe the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of traffic signs is
a driving assistance system and does
not always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of the
vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a speed
limit sign within a preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on traffic
signs.
To maintain correct operation of the
system:
- Regularly clean the area in front of the
camera.
- Do not carry out any repairs to the area
of the windscreen close to the camera
lens.
When replacing headlamp bulbs, you
are strongly recommended to fit genuine
replacement parts.
The use of other bulbs could reduce the
performance of the system.
