The traffic sign detection system has certain

limitations. The following cases may lead the

system to operate with limitations or not at

all:

The technology in the traffic sign detection

system cannot change the limits imposed

by the laws of physics and only works with-

in the system's limits. Do not let the extra

convenience afforded by the traffic sign

detection system tempt you into taking any

risks when driving. The system is not a re-

placement for driver awareness.

steps of 5 km/h (3 mph) within a range of be-

tween 0 km/h (mph) and 20 km/h (12 mph)

above the maximum speed permitted.

Trailer mode

In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow,

rain, fog or intense mist.

In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket

device from the factory and a trailer that is

electrically connected to the vehicle, it is

possible to activate or deactivate the display

of specific traffic signs for vehicles with trailer,

such as speed limits or overtaking prohibi-

tions. Activation or deactivation is performed

on the infotainment system using the  >

covered, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other vehi-

cles.

●

If the camera's field of vision is dirty, cov-

ered or damaged, system operation may

be impaired.

For trailer mode, the display of speed limits

applicable to the type of trailer or to the legal

provisions can be adjusted. The speed is ad-

justed in steps of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a

range of between 60 km/h (40 mph) and

130 km/h (80 mph). If it is adjusted to a speed

greater than that which is permitted in the

country in question for driving with a trailer,

the system automatically displays the usual

speed limits, e.g. in Germany 80 km/h

(50 mph).

In the case of traffic signs that do not fulfil

the regulations.
