Description
Applies to: ve hicles with ca mera·based t raffic sign recogni·
tion
F ig. 97 Instrument cluste r: traff ic sign recogn it ion
F ig. 98 Windsh ield: came ra window for t raffic s ig n recog­
ni tio n
Traff ic sign recognition assists you when driving
by displaying detected speed limits or s igns pro­
hibiting passing in the instrument cluster display
c:;, fig . 97 . Within the limits of the system, the le­
gal speed lim its in school zones are detected and
disp layed .
General information
Traffic sign recognit ion can detect standard
speed limit signs that are within the camera's vis­
ual field . With ass istance from navigation data,
104
detected speed limits are evaluated and shown in
the display . The traffic sign for the current de­
tected speed lim it will blink in the display if you
exceed the warning thresho ld set in the Infotain­
ment system
c;, page 105.
The traffic sign recognition is subject to certain
system limitations and may be unavai lable or on­
ly partially avai lable in the follow ing situations :
- when visibility is poor, such as in snow, rain,
fog or heavy spray
-when there is glare, for example from oncom­
ing traffic or the sun
- at high speeds
- if the camera's visual field
¢ fig. 98 is covered,
for examp le by dirt or st ickers. For info rmation
on cleaning, see
¢page 354 .
-if the tra ffic signs are completely or partially
covered, for examp le by trees, snow, dirt or
other vehicles
- if speed traffic signs do not conform to the
standards
- if traffic signs are damaged or bent
- if traffic signs are displayed on sign holders
w ith electronic signs
- if the traffic signs or the configuration of the
road have changed (navigation data is no lon­
ger up-to-date)
.&_ WARNING
Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when traffic sign recognition is
turned on . The traffic signs insta lled on the
road always take precedence over the display.
The driver is always responsible for assess ing
the traffic situation.
- Under some circumstances, traffic sign rec­
ognition may not detect traffic signs cor­
rectly or detect them at a ll. As a result, the
system may not display the correct speed
lim it or any speed limit .
- Traff ic sign recognit ion does not adapt your
veh icle's speed to match the speed limit!
- The display in the instrument cluster is
based on the units of measurement used for
speed in that country. As a result, the dis­
play
SO in the instrument cluster can mean
-
