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
