TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION (if so
equipped)
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
provides the driver with information
about the most recently detected speed
limit. The system captures the road sign
information with the multi-sensing front
camera unit
located on the windshield
in front of the inside rearview mirror and
displays the detected signs in the vehicle
information display. For vehicles
equipped with Navigation System, the
speed limit displayed is based on a
combination of Navigation System data
and live camera recognition. TSR informa-
tion is always displayed at the top of the vehicle information display, and option-
ally in the main central area of the display
screen.
WARNING
The TSR system is only intended to
be a support device to provide the
driver with information. It is not a
replacement for the driver’s atten-
tion to traffic conditions or respon-
sibility to drive safely. It cannot
prevent accidents due to careless-
ness. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert and drive safely at all
times.

vated automatically. The “Unavailable:
high cabin temperature” warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
