Fig. 103 Instrument cluster: Traffic sign recognition
– Always direct your full attention to the road
and surroundings, even when you are using
the efficiency assist. It is always the driver's
responsibility to assess the traffic situation
and take appropriate care.
Traffic signs 1 which currently apply are shown
in the instrument cluster.
In cases where the system is able to detect par-
ticular types of restrictions, these are displayed
under the following conditions:
– In certain situations, the recuperation func-
tion can brake the vehicle in anticipation of
the route or traffic ahead; however the recu-
peration braking effect is limited. Always be
ready to apply the brakes – risk of accident!
A temporary speed restriction for wet
weather is detected and the vehicle sen-
sors, e.g. the rain sensor, detect that the
restriction actually applies.
Camera-based traffic
sign recognition
A temporary speed restriction for fog is
detected and the front camera detects
that the restriction actually applies.
Introduction
A speed restriction applying at certain
times of day has been detected and corre-
sponds to the time displayed in the in-
strument cluster.
The traffic sign recognition system displays traf-
fic signs detected by the front camera in the in-
strument cluster and on the head-up display. Da-
ta from the navigation system are also factored
into the information displayed.
The vehicle is towing a trailer and the
Trailer-specific speed limits option is ac-
tivated on the centre display. In this case,
traffic signs applying to vehicles towing
trailers are displayed. This only applies to
factory-fitted towing brackets.
The traffic sign recognition system only informs
and warns you of speed limits. Depending on the
vehicle’s equipment, additional driver assist sys-
tems may adjust the vehicle’s speed.
The speed limit displayed in the instrument clus-
ter is given in the units applicable in a particular
country. The number displayed may represent
mph or km/h, depending on the country.
