markets and does not cover all areas - a

retailer for Volvo has information on cur-

rent areas.

WARNING

The function is supplementary driver

support intended to facilitate driving

and make it safer – it cannot handle all

situations in all traffic, weather and

road conditions.

•

In certain situations, the function may

give incorrect warnings for slippery

driving conditions.

•

The function cannot always detect

other vehicles with activated hazard

warning flashers or detect all sections

of road with slippery surfaces.

The driver is advised to read all sec-

tions in the Owner's Manual that relate

to this function to learn about factors

such as its limitations and what the

driver should be aware of before using

the system.

RSI can provide information about such things

as current speed, when a motorway or road is

starting/ending, when overtaking is prohibited

or when the direction of travel is one-way.

Connected Safety (p. 276)

•

Driver support functions are not a sub-

stitute for the driver's attention and

judgement. The driver is always

responsible for ensuring the car is

driven in a safe manner, at the appro-

priate speed, with an appropriate dis-

tance to other vehicles, and in accord-

ance with current traffic rules and reg-

ulations.

If the car passes a speed limit sign, it will be

shown on the driver display.

Road sign information (RSI¹⁵) also includes

subfunctions that can warn the driver if a

speed limit has been exceeded or in connec-

tion with speed cameras.

DRIVER SUPPORT

An additional sign, such as

"no overtaking", may be

shown together with the

speed limit symbol.

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation*,

direct speed limit signs are normally displayed

– indirect speed limit signs are only displayed

if map data has no information on the speed

limit for the road section in question.

Display mode for road sign

information*

The Road Sign Information function (RSI¹⁷

shows road signs in different ways depend-

ing on the sign and the situation.

)

Example of indirect speed limit sign:

End of all restrictions.

If the driver enters a road

marked with a no-entry sign

at the roadside, the symbol

for this sign flashes on and

off on the driver display as a

warning.

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation*,

information from map data is used to deter-

mine whether the car is being driven in the

wrong direction.

End of motorway.

Example¹⁸of detected speed information.

The driver can also get an acoustic warning

when driving towards a road marked with a

no-entry sign if the Road Sign Audio

Warning function is activated.

When the function detects a road sign with an

imposed speed limit, the driver display shows

the sign as a symbol combined with a col-

oured indication on the speedometer.

The driver display symbol extinguishes after

10-30 seconds and remains so until the next

speed related sign is passed.

Speed limit or end of motorway

When the function detects an "indirect speed

limit sign" stating the end of the current speed

limit – e.g. at the end of a motorway – a sym-

bol appears with the corresponding road sign

in the driver's display.

If the car is fitted with Sensus Navigation*,

speed-related information is also obtained

from map data, which means that the driver

display can show or change information on

the speed limit without having passed a

speed-related sign.

Changed speed limit

When passing a direct speed limit sign when a

speed limit changes, a symbol with the corres-

ponding road sign appears in the driver's dis-

play.

Some speed limits only apply

after a certain distance or at a

certain time of day. The driv-

Additional signs

er's attention is drawn to this

fact by means of a symbol for

an additional sign below the

speed symbol. The additional

symbol in the driver display will show either

“DIST” or “TIME”.

The driver display symbol extinguishes after

about 5 minutes until the next speed-related

sign is passed.

If the car is fitted with Sensus Navigation*,

speed limit signs are shown in the driver dis-

play when map data contains information on

the speed limit for the road section in ques-

tion, even if no direct sign has been passed. If

there is no information in map data, the sign is

extinguished approx. 3 minutes after the last

passing of a speed limit sign.

Sign for "School" and "Children at

play"

If a warning sign for "School"

or "Children at play" is

included in the satellite navi-

gator's map data¹⁹, the driver

display shows a sign of this

type.

Examples of additional signs.

Sometimes different speed limits are signed

for the same road - an additional sign then

indicates the circumstances under which the

different speeds apply. The road section may

be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain

and/or fog, for example.

An additional sign relating to rain is displayed

only if the windscreen wipers are in use.

A speed warning is always given if the speed

Road Sign Information and Sensus

Warning for speed limitation and

speed camera from road sign

information*

Road sign information (RSI²⁰) includes sub-

functions that can warn the driver if a speed

limit has been exceeded or in connection with

speed cameras.

Navigation*

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation*,

speed information is read from the navigation

unit in the following cases:

Speed Limit Warning warns the driver when

the applicable speed limit or stored maximum

speed is exceeded – this warning is repeated

once after approx. 30 seconds within the

same speed limit area unless the driver

reduces the speed.

On detection of signs that indirectly indi-

cate a speed limit, such as motorway, dual

carriageway and city limit signs.

•

If a previously detected speed sign is

assumed not to apply any longer, but no

new sign has been detected.

•

Another warning is available only when the

driver has reduced the speed by at least

5 km/h (3 mph) and then exceeds the speed

limit again, or when the car reaches a new/

different speed limit area.

NOTE

In certain markets, the Road Sign Informa-

tion function* is only available in combina-

tion with Sensus Navigation*.

NOTE

To get an acoustic warning if you exceed

the required speed, the Speed Limit

Warning function must be activated and

the Road Sign Audio Warning subfunc-

tion must be set to On. An acoustic warn-

ing is then given if the car's speed exceeds

the speed indicated by the Road Sign

Information function in the driver display.

NOTE

Examples of information on speed camera and speed

limit in the driver display

If a downloaded third-party app is used for

navigation then there is no support for

speed-related information.

Warning for speed limit

The speed warning is given

by the driver display symbol²¹

showing the applicable maxi-

mum permitted speed tem-

porarily flashing when this

speed is exceeded.
