Road signs recognition
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
This system displays the maximum speed 
authorised locally on the instrument panel, using:
–
 
Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
–
 
Speed limit information from the navigation 
system’
s mapping.
Navigation mapping should be regularly 
updated in order to receive accurate 
speed limit information from the system.
The units for the speed limit (mph or  km/h) depend on the country you are 
driving in.
This should be taken into account to ensure 
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to work properly when 
changing countries, the speed unit of the 
instrument panel must match that of the 
country you are driving in.
Automatic sign reading is a driving aid  system and does not always display the 
correct speed limits.
The speed limit signs present on the road 
always take priority over those displayed by 
the system. 
The system is designed to detect signs that 
conform to the Vienna Convention on road 
signs.
Activation/Deactivation
