Traffic sign detection system* 1)
Intr oduction The traffic sign detection system records the
st
and
ard traffic signs in front of the vehicle
with a camera located on the base of the in-
terior mirror and provides information about
speed limits and overtaking prohibitions.
Within its limitations, the system also dis-
plays additional signals, such as time-specif-
ic prohibitions, signs for vehicles towing trail-
ers ›››
page 246 or limitations that only apply
in the event of rain. Even on journeys without
signs, the system may display any applicable
speed limits.
In Germany, on motorways and vehicle roads,
besides speed limits and overtaking provi-
sions the system also displays the end of
prohibition signs. The valid speed limit at the
time in other countries is always shown. 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
driving. The system is not a replacement for
driver awareness. ●
Adapt
your speed and driving style to suit
visibility, 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-
c ation 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.
● Always replace damaged or worn blades
when required t
o avoid lines on the camera's
field of vision.
● 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 waypoints mode of the navigation
syst
em, the traffic sign detection system is
only partly available. 1)
System available depending on the country.

Di s
p
lay of traffic signs
When the traffic sign detection system is con-
nected, a camera located on the base of the
interior rear-view mirror records the traffic
234
Driver assistance systems
signs in front of the vehicle. After checking
and ev aluatin
g the inf
ormation from the cam-
era, the navigation system and the current
vehicle data, up to three valid traffic signs
are displayed ››› Fig. 222 B in conjunction
with their corresponding additional signs.
The sign that is currently valid for the
driver is shown in the left side of the
screen For example, a maximum speed
limit of 130 km/h (100 mph)
››› Fig. 222 A.
A sign valid only in certain circum-
stances, e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) is
shown second, together with the addi-
tional rain sign.
If the windscreen wiper is
working 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. 222 C.
Speed warning
If the system detects that the permitted
speed is exceeded, it may warn the driver
with a “gong” and visually with a message
on the dash panel display.
The speed warning can be adjusted or deacti-
vated completely in the infotainment system
using the button and the
S
ET

page 33. The speed is adjusted in
steps of 5 km/h (3 mph) within a range of be-
tween 0 km/h (mph) and 20 km/h (12 mph)
above the maximum speed permitted.
Trailer mode
In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket
device from the factory and a trailer that is
electrically connected to the vehicle, it is pos-
sible to activate or deactivate the display of
specific traffic signs for vehicles with trailer,
such as speed limits or overtaking prohibi-
tions. Activation or deactivation is performed
on the infotainment system using the button and the
S
ET
TINGS and
Driv er As
s
istance function buttons
› ›
›
page 33.
For trailer mode, the display of speed limits
applicable to the type of trailer or to the legal
provisions can be adjusted. The speed is ad-
justed in steps of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a
range of between 60 km/h (40 mph) and
130 km/h (80 mph). If it is adjusted to a
speed greater than that which is permitted in
the country in question for driving with a
trailer, the system automatically displays the
usual speed limits, e.g. in Germany 80 km/h
(50 mph).
If the speed warning for the trailer is deacti-
vated, the system displays the speed limits
as if there were no trailer hitched. Limited operation
The traffic s
ign detection system has certain
limitations. The following cases may lead the
system to operate with limitations or not at
all:
● In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow,
rain, fog or int
ense mist.
● In cases of dazzling, e.g. caused by head-
on traffic or b
y the sun.
● When driving at high speeds.
● If the camera is covered or dirty.
● If the traffic signs are out of the camera's
field of
vision.
● If the traffic signs are partially or totally
cov
ered, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other ve-
hicles.
● In the case of traffic signs that do not fulfil
the regu
lations.
● In the case of damaged or bent traffic
signs.
● In the c
ase of variable messages on over-
head or g
antry signs (LED-based variable traf-
fic signs or other lighting units).
● If the maps on the navigation system are
not up-to-d
ate.
● In the case of adhesives affixed to vehicles
that depict
traffic signs, e.g. speed limits on
lorries.

Safety Operating and safety warnings
WARNING
● The Re ar As
sist does not make it possible
to precisely calculate the distance from ob-
stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) and nor can it
overcome the system's own limits, hence us-
ing it may cause serious accidents and inju-
ries if used negligently or without due care.
The driver should be aware of his/her sur-
roundings at all times to ensure safe driving.
● The camera lens expands and distorts the
field of
vision and displays the objects on the
screen in a different, vague manner. The per-
ception of distances is also distorted by this
effect.
● Due to the screen resolution or insufficient
light condition
s, some items may be dis-
played in an unsatisfactory manner or not at
all. Take special care with thin posts, fences,
railings or trees that might not be displayed
on screen and could damage the vehicle.
● The rear assist has blind spots where it is
not pos
sible to represent people or objects
(small children, animals and certain objects
cannot be detected in its field of vision). Mon-
itor the vehicle's surrounding area at all
times.
● Keep the camera lens clean, free of ice and
snow
, and do not cover it.
● The system is not a replacement for driver
awar
eness. Supervise the parking operation
at all times, as well as the vehicle's surround-
ing area. Adapt your speed and driving style at all times to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic
c
onditions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
looking at
the screen.
● The images on the rear assist screen are
only tw
o-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial
depth, protruding parts or holes in the road,
for example, are more difficult to detect or
may not be seen at all.
● Vehicle load modifies the representation of
the orientation lines
displayed. The width
represented by the lines diminishes with ve-
hicle load. Pay special attention to the vehi-
cle's surroundings when the inside of the ve-
hicle of the luggage compartment is carrying
a heavy load.
● In the following situations, the objects or
other vehic
les shown in the navigation sys-
tem display appear to be further away or
closer than they really are: Pay special atten-
tion:
– On moving from a horizontal plane to a
slope.
– On moving from a slope to a horizontal
plane.
– If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the
rear.
– When the vehicle approaches objects
that are not on the ground surface or are
jutting out from it. These objects may al-
so be outside the camera's angle of vi-
sion when reversing. » 243
