Display of road signs
After validation and evaluation of the information from the camera, the Infotainment system and
the current vehicle data, the activated Dynamic Road Sign Display shows up to three valid road signs
⇒ Fig. 14  with the accompanying additional signs:
1st position:The road sign that currently applies for the driver is shown on the left-hand side of the
display, e.g. a speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph) ⇒ Fig. 14  .2nd position:Road signs that do not
always apply (e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) in wet) are shown in second place.Additional sign:if the
windscreen wiper is active while the vehicle is in motion, the now valid road sign with the additional
In wet sign, for example, will be moved left to the first position.3rd position:Further road signs that
do not always apply will be displayed in the third position, e.g. overtaking not permitted at certain
times ⇒ Fig. 14  .
Speed warning
If the Dynamic Road Sign Display detects that an applicable speed limit has been exceeded, it can
issue an acoustic warning signal and display a message on the instrument cluster display.
The speed warning can be set or completely deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment
system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu . The settings can be adjusted in increments of 5 km/h (3 mph)
within a range between 0 km/h (mph) and 15 km/h (9 mph) above the permitted maximum speed.
Trailer mode
In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket and a trailer with an electrical connection to the
vehicle, the display of road signs that may apply to the vehicle when towing a trailer, e.g. applicable
speed limits and no-overtaking signs, can be activated or deactivated in the vehicle settings in the
Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu .
In trailer mode, the speed warning function display can be adjusted to the type of trailer or to legal
requirements. The settings can be adjusted in increments of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a range
between 60 km/h (40 mph) and 130 km/h (80 mph). If a higher speed is set than is permitted for
driving with a trailer in the country in which you are currently travelling, Dynamic Road Sign Display
automatically issues a warning at the usual speed limit, e.g. at 80 km/h (50 mph) in Germany.
If the speed warning for the trailer is deactivated, Dynamic Road Sign Display issues warnings as if
the vehicle was being driven without a trailer.
Function limitations
Dynamic Road Sign Display is subject to system-related limitations. The following conditions can
restrict the function of Dynamic Road Sign Display, or prevent it from working altogether:
Poor visibility, e.g. snow, rain, fog or heavy spray.
Glare, e.g. due to oncoming traffic or sunlight.
High speeds.
Covered or dirty camera.
Road signs that are located outside of the camera's field of view.

Partially or fully hidden traffic signs, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other vehicles.
Road signs that do not correspond to the standard design.
Damaged or bent traffic signs.
Variable road signs on gantries (changeable road sign display using LEDs or other light sources).
Out-of-date map material in the Infotainment system.
Stickers on vehicles that show road signs, e.g. speed restrictions on trucks.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used by the Dynamic Road Sign Display cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra convenience afforded
by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system tempt you into taking any risks when driving. The system is
not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and fog can cause road signs not to be displayed or to be
incorrectly displayed by the system.
If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the Dynamic Road Sign
Display system may be impaired.

WARNING
Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system
may differ from the current traffic situation.
Not all road signs can be recognised by the system and displayed correctly.
Road signs on the road and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and displays
provided by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system.

NOTICE
Availability of the Dynamic Road Sign Display function is limited in waypoint mode (waypoint
navigation) of the Infotainment system.

Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can therefore
change automatically when the user account is changed ⇒ Personalisation .

If the windscreen is damaged in the camera's field of vision.
If the camera's field of vision is covered by condensation, dirt, a sticker, or by snow or ice.
If the camera is faulty or the power supply is interrupted.

WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main-beam control tempt you into taking any risks
when driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Always check the vehicle lights yourself and adapt them to the prevailing conditions for light,
visibility and road traffic.
The main-beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not
work properly in certain situations.
