Keep the surface clean - on both the left and right-hand sides of the car 18
.
To ensure optimal functionality, the surfaces in front of the sensors must be kept clean. Do not affix any objects, tape, labels or similar within the area of the sensors.

Road Sign Information *
The Road Sign Information function (Road Sign Information – RSI) helps the driver to observespeed signs and certain prohibition signs as thecar passes them.
Examples of readable signs 19
.
RSI provides information about such things as current speed, when a motorway or road is star-ting/ending, when overtaking is prohibited orwhen the direction of travel is one-way. In the case where both a sign for motorway/dual carriageway and a sign for the speed limit arepassed, RSI selects to show a sign symbol formotorway/dual carriageway. The new speed limitis shown directly with a line in the driver display'sspeed scale.
WARNING
RSI does not work in all situations but is designed merely as a supplementary aid. The driver always bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safelyand that applicable road traffic rules and reg-ulations are followed.

Sign display with Road Sign Information
The Road Sign Information function (Road Sign
Information - RSI) registers and shows roadsigns in different ways depending on the signand the situation.
Example of detected speed information 20
.
When RSI detects a road sign with an imposed speed limit, the driver display shows the sign as asymbol plus an indication in red on the speedom-eter.

Besides the speed limit symbol an additional sign may beshown as well, such as "noovertaking".
If the driver enters a road marked with a no-entry sign atthe roadside, the symbol forthis sign flashes on and off onthe driver display as a warning.
If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation
*
then information from the map is also used to determine whether the car is being driven in thewrong direction. The driver can also get an acoustic warning when driving towards a no-entry entrance if the
Audio
Warning function is activated - see the heading
"Activating/deactivating the acoustic warning" in the section "Activating/deactivating Road SignInformation".
End of restriction or motorwayIf RSI detects a sign which may imply the end ofa speed limit, such as the end of a motorway, thedriver display shows the corresponding road signfor 10–30 seconds. Examples of such signs are: End of all restrictions.
End of motorway.
Following which, the sign information is hidden until the next speed-related sign is detected.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs
20
.
Sometimes different speed limits are signed for the same road - an additional sign then indicatesthe circumstances under which the differentspeeds apply. The road section may be particu-larly susceptible to accidents in rain and/or fog,for example. An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use. If the car has a trailer attached and you pass a speed sign with the additional sign “trailer”, theindicated speed will appear on the driver display.
Some speed limits only applyafter a certain distance or at acertain time of day. The driver'sattention is drawn to this factby means of a symbol for anadditional sign below the speedsymbol. The additional symbol
in the driver display will show either “DIST” or“TIME”.
A symbol for additional sign in the form of an empty frameunder the driver display's speedsymbol means that the RSI hasdetected an additional signwith supplementary informationfor the current speed limit.

Sensus NavigationIf the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation, speed information is read from the navigationunit in the following cases:
• On detecting signs that indirectly indicate aspeed limit, such as motorway, dual carriage-way and city limit signs.
• If a previously detected sign is assumed notto apply any longer, but no new sign hasbeen detected.
NOTE
If a downloaded third-party app is used for navigation then there is no support for speed-related information.
Sign for "School" and "Children at play"
If the warning sign for "School" or "Children at play" is includedin the satellite navigator's mapdata, the driver display shows a sign20
of this type.

If the car exceeds a detected speed limit, the driver can bewarned when the carapproaches a speed camera,provided that the navigationmaps for the market in ques-tion contain information on
speed cameras.
