F ig. 9 1 Windsh ield: camera window for t raffic sign recog­
nition
Traffic sign recognit io n assis ts you when driving
by d isp lay ing detected speed limits or signs pro ­
h ibit ing passing in the instrument cluster d isp lay
c::> fig . 90 . Within the limits of the system, the le­
gal speed lim its in school zones are detected and
d isp layed.
General info rmation
Traffic sign recognit ion can detect standa rd
speed limit sig ns that are within the camera's vis­
ua l field. With assistance from navigation data,
detected speed limits are evaluated and shown in
the disp lay . The traffic sign for the current de­
tected speed l imit will bli nk in the display if you
exceed the war ning th reshold set in the Infotain­
ment system
c::> page 98 .
The traffic sign recogn ition is subject to certain
system limitations and may be unavailab le or on ­
ly partia lly available in the followi ng situations:
A ssi st a nce systems
- when visibility is poor, s uch 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
c::> fig. 91 is cove red,
for examp le by dirt or st icke rs. For i nfo rmation
on cleaning, see
c::> page 351 .
- if the traff ic signs are comp letely or partially
covered, for examp le by trees, snow, dirt or
other vehicles
- if speed traffic signs do not conform to the
stand ards
- if traffic signs are damage d or ben t
- if traff ic sig ns are d isplayed o n sig n holders
w ith elec tronic s igns
- if the traffic signs o r the configu ration of the
road have changed (navigation data is no lon­
ge r up-to-da te)
_&. WARNING
P ay atten tion to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when traffic sign recogn ition is
turned on . The traffic signs insta lled on the
road a lways ta ke precedence over the display.
The driver is a lways responsible for assessing
the traffic situation.
- Under some circ umstances, traffic s ign rec­
ognition may not detect traff ic signs cor­
rectly or detect them at a ll. As a resu lt, the
system may not dis play the correct speed lim it or any speed limit.
- Traffic 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 p lay
50 i n t he inst rument cl uste r can mean
eithe r km/h or mph, depend ing o n the cou n­
try.

If there are mult iple situations, then these situa­

A WARNING
Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when the efficiency ass ist is
switched on. The driver is always respons ible
for assessing the traffic situation.
(D Tips
- T he wo rding of the message may vary de­
pend ing o n the dr iving mode set in d rive se­
lect*¢
page 128 and the c urrent selec to r
lever position. No messages are disp layed
when in the "S" se lector lever position or in
D ynamic mode .
- When a route is p lanned using the nav iga­
tion system*, then the message feed is
based on this route. Without route guid­
ance, the system uses an assumed route for
the message feed.
- There will not be a message for every situa­ tion ahead, for example if there is not enough distance remaining to react to the
situat ion .
- No messages are displayed when at speeds
under 20 mph (30 km/h) .

::r ' Description
The predictive cont rol 1 l uses the map info rma ­
tion from the navigation system in order to react proactive ly when driving. Information from the
cam era-based traffic sign recognition * is a lso ap ­
plied to recognize traffic signs¢ page 97. When
coming up to areas wi th speed limits or changes
in the course of the road (such as curves, inter­
sections or traffic c ircles), the system brakes au ­
tomatically and then accelerates back up to the
set speed .
Overriding control
The driver can override the predict ive control at
a ny time by press ing the accelerator or brake
pedal. If the system changes the vehicle speed to
adapt to speed limits, you ca n cha nge the speed
usi ng the lever ¢page 106, fig. 100 .
Always switch off the predictive control in
the following situations:
-When increased atte ntion is needed from the
drive r.
- In poor weat her cond it ions such as snow or
heavy ra in.
- When driving on roads in poor condition .
Indicator in the instrument cluster display
When switching on the adaptive cru ise cont rol
for the first time, the message
ACC: R + B ac­
ti ve
in the instrument cluste r indicates the ava il­
ab ility of the predictive control.
T he
'?·;SOmh symbo l appears when the system
is reg ulating the speed to match a speed lim it. If
this is the case, the system is regulating a speed
of SO mph (80 km/h) . The speed is then taken
over by the adaptive cru ise control. The speed in

A WARNING
-
- Read the wa rnin gs on ¢.&. in General infor­
mation on page 103 and on¢
& in De­
scription on page 97.
- Pay attent ion to traffic and the a rea around
your veh icle when pred ictive cont rol is
sw itched on. The driver is always responsi­
ble for assessing the traffic situation.
- There is an increase in the risk of an acci­
dent, because the system does not consider
"right of way" rules and also does not re ­
spond to traffic lights .
- The system only cons iders t raff ic signs that
g ive a speed lim it .
- The permitted speed can be exceeded if the
adaptation to a speed lim it is incorrect . The
d river is responsible for adher ing to the pe r­
mitte d speed .
- The s peed at w hich a curve is dr iven th rough
does not necessarily match your own driving
s tyle. Brake the vehicle yo urself whe n need­
e d t o redu ce the risk of an a ccid en t.
