Important safety notes
Traffic Sign Assist is only an aid and is not always
able to correctly display speed limits. Traffic
signs always have priority over the Traffic Sign
Assist display.
The system may be either functionally impaired
or temporarily unavailable if the information in
the digital street map of the navigation system is
incorrect or out of date.
Activating Traffic Sign Assist

traffic sign display for speed limits and overtak-
ing restrictions remain active even when the
display has been deactivated.

and displays a monochrome image in the multi- function display. The image shown in the display
corresponds to a road lit up by high-beam head-
lamps. This enables you to see the road's course
