In addition toprov iding the actual control unit
function, this data assists the manufacturer in
de tecting and rectifying malfunctions and opti‐
mizing vehicle functions. The majority of this
data is temp orary and is only processed in the
ve hicle itself. Only a small portion of the data is
st ored in theeve nt or malfunction memor y.
When your vehicle is serviced, tech nical da ta
from theve hicle can be read out byservice net‐
wo rkemplo yees or third parties. Services
include repair services, maintenance processes,
wa rranty events and quality assurance meas‐
ures, forex ample. The read out is per form ed via
th e legally prescribed port for OBD ("on-board diagnostics") in
theve hicle. The respective
service network locations or third parties col‐
lect, process and use the data. They document
te ch nical statuses of theve hicle, assist in find‐

Traf fic Sign Assist
Fu nction of Traf fic Sign Assist
Tr af fic Sign Assist detects traf fic signs using
multifunction came ra1. It assists youby dis‐
playing de tected speed limits and overtaking
re strictions in the instrument clus ter. Since
Traf fic Sign Assist also usesthe data
st ored in the navigation sy stem, it can update
th e display in thefo llowing situations without
de tecting traf fic signs:
RWhen theve hicle changes roads, e.g. slip
ro ad or mo torw ay ex it.
RWhen a village or town boundary is passed
which is stored in the digital map.
The camera also de tects traf fic signs wi tha
re striction indicated byan additional sign (e.g.
re lating towe t conditions).

speed is exceeded
The sy stem can warnyou if you unin tentionally
exc eed the maximum permissible speed. Todo

by how much the maximum permissible speed
can be exceeded before a warning is issued. You
can specify whe ther thewa rning is tobe just a
