Dynamic Road Sign Display  
Introduction  
The Dynamic Road Sign Display detects  
standard road signs using a camera in  
the interior rearview mirror base and  
informs the driver of detected speed  
limits and passing restrictions. Within  
the system limits, the system also  
displays an additional sign to indicate  
special restrictions. The system may  
also continue to display the valid speed  
limit on roads without signs.  
The traffic signs recorded by the Dynamic Road Sign Display are shown in the display of the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. Depending on the Infotainment system  
installed in the vehicle, the road signs may also be displayed there.  
Dynamic Road Sign Display is always active when the ignition is started.

Fig. 17 In the instrument cluster display: Example of detected speed limits.  
After checking and evaluating the information from the camera, the Infotainment system, and the current vehicle data, the Dynamic Road Sign Display function  
displays up to two valid traffic signs and a generic additional sign fig. 17:  
1st position: The traffic sign that currently applies is shown on the left side of the display, for example a speed limit of 20 mph (35 km/h).  
2nd position: Another road sign can be displayed in the second position, such as a passing restriction.  
Additional signs: A recognized additional sign is displayed above the applicable traffic sign. Depending on the system, a generic additional sign is displayed  
instead of the actually recognized additional sign. The applicable traffic sign in the display of the instrument cluster is supplemented by the generic  
additional sign.  
WARNING  
The intelligent technology of the Dynamic Road Sign Display cannot overcome the natural laws of physics, and it can only operate within the limits of the  
system. Do not allow the increased convenience provided by the Dynamic Road Sign Display to tempt you into taking risks. The system cannot replace the  
driver's attention.  
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.  
Poor visibility, darkness, snowfall, rain, and fog may prevent road signs from being display or may cause them to be displayed incorrectly by the system.  
If the camera lens is dirty, obstructed, or damaged, the Dynamic Road Sign Display function may be limited.  
WARNING  
Driving recommendations and road signs displayed in the Dynamic Road Sign Display may differ from the actual traffic situation.  
Not all road signs can be detected and displayed correctly by the system.  
Traffic signs on the roads and traffic regulations must always take precedence over driving recommendations and displays from the Dynamic Road Sign  
Display function.

in the instrument cluster display.  
The speed warning can be set or completely deactivated in the Infotainment system Vehicle settings menu. The speed warning can be set to a value of 0 mph  
(0 km/h), 3 mph (5 km/h) or 5 mph (10 km/h) over the permitted speed.  
Trailer mode  
On vehicles with a trailer hitch installed at the factory and a trailer that is connected to the vehicle electrical system, the display of road signs relevant to a trailer,  
such as the valid speed limit and passing restrictions for vehicles with a trailer, can be activated and deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system

10 km/h (5 mph) within a range of approx. 60 km/h (35 mph) and approx. 130 km/h (80 mph). If a speed is set that is higher than the permitted speed for driving wit  
a trailer in the country or state where the vehicle is being operated, the Dynamic Road Sign Display function will automatically display the legal speed limit, for  
example approx. 80 km/h (50 mph) in California.
