Road Sign Information (RSI)*  
Road sign information (RSI)* -  
operation  
WARNING  
The road sign information function (RSI –  
Road Sign Information) helps the driver to  
remember which speed-related road signs the  
car has passed.  
RSI does not work in all situations but is  
designed merely as a supplementary aid.  
The road sign information function (RSI –  
Road Sign Information) helps the driver to  
remember which speed-related road signs the  
car has passed.  
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-  
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven  
safely and that applicable road traffic rules  
and regulations are followed.  
The function is operated as follows:

(p. 203)  
Examples of readable speed related signs1.  
The RSI function gives information on current  
speed, e.g. that a motorway or road is star-  
ting/ending and when overtaking is prohibi-  
ted.  
Recorded speed information2.  
When RSI has recorded a road sign with an  
imposed speed, the combined instrument  
panel displays the sign as a symbol.  
If both a sign for motorway/road for motor-  
ised traffic and a sign showing the maximum  
permitted speed are passed, RSI decides to  
show the sign symbol for maximum permitted  
speed.  
Together with the symbol for  
the current speed limit, a  
sign showing that overtaking  
is prohibited may also be  
displayed where appropriate.

End of restriction or motorway  
A corresponding road sign is shown in the  
combined instrument panel for  
Additional signs  
approx. 10 seconds in situations where RSI  
detects a sign that involves the end of a  
speed limit - or other speed-related informa-  
tion, e.g. end of a motorway.  
Some speeds are applicable only after e.g. a  
specific distance or at a certain time of day.  
The driver's attention is drawn to the situation  
by means of a symbol for an additional sign  
under the symbol showing speed.  
Examples of such signs are:  
End of all restrictions.  
End of motorway.  
Display of additional information  
Examples of additional signs2.  
Sometimes different speed limits are signpos-  
ted 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.  
A symbol for additional sign in the form of an  
empty frame under the combined instrument  
panel's speed symbol means that the RSI has  
detected an additional sign with supplemen-  
tary information for the current speed limit.  
An additional sign relating to rain is displayed  
only if the windscreen wipers are in use.  
The speed applicable on an  
exit is indicated in certain  
markets by means of an  
additional sign containing an  
arrow.  
Following which, the sign information is hid-  
den until the next speed-related sign is  
detected.  
Setting in MY CAR  
There are options for RSI in the MY CAR  
menu system; see MY CAR (p. 119).  
07  
Speed signs linked to this  
type of additional sign are displayed only if  
the driver is using the direction indicator.
