Since Tra1c Sign Assist also uses the data stored

The camera also de tects tra1c signs with a restric-
tion indicated byan additional sign (e.g. when

If th e system de tects that you are driving onto a
section of road in the wrong direction of tr avel, it
triggers a warning. This function is not available in
