Instrument cluster -> Dynamic Road Sign Display for Your Volkswagen E Golf 4 Door Second Generation (2017-2020)

Dynamic Road Sign Display  
Fig. 1 On the instrument cluster display: examples of recognised speed limits and overtaking  
restrictions with accompanying additional signs.  
Dynamic Road Sign Display uses a camera in the base of the interior mirror to monitor standard  
road signs and informs the driver of any detected speed limits or overtaking restrictions. Within  
the limits of the system, the system also displays additional signs, e.g. temporary restrictions or  
restrictions in wet conditions. In some cases the system can also display the current speed limits  
on non-signposted routes.  
Displays  
In addition to speed limits and overtaking restrictions, Dynamic Road Sign Display also detects  
the road sign which indicates that all restrictions have been lifted on motorways and main roads  
in Germany. In all other countries in which the system is operated, the current speed limit is  
displayed instead.  
The road signs detected by Dynamic Road Sign Display are displayed on the instrument cluster  
→ Fig. 1 and in some cases also on the Infotainment system, depending on which version is  
installed in the vehicle.

Dynamic Road Sign Display is not supported in the country in which you are  
currently travelling.  
Switching on and off  
Continuous display of road signs in the instrument cluster can be activated and deactivated in  
the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system.  
Display of road signs  
After validation and evaluation of the information from the camera, the Infotainment system and  
the current vehicle data, the activated Dynamic Road Sign Display shows up to three valid road  
signs with the accompanying additional signs → Fig. 1  
:
1st position: The road sign that currently applies for the driver is shown on the left-hand side  
of the display, e.g. a speed limit of

Additional sign: if the windscreen wiper is active while the vehicle is  
in motion, a road sign with the additional “When  
wet” sign that now applies will be moved left to the first position, for example.  
3rd position: A further road sign may be displayed in the third position, e.g. “overtaking not  
permitted at certain times” → Fig. 1  
.
Speed warning  
If the Dynamic Road Sign Display detects that an applicable speed limit has been exceeded, it can  
issue an acoustic warning signal or display a message on the instrument cluster display.  
The speed warning can be set or completely deactivated in the vehicle settings in the  
Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu, Operation). The settings can be adjusted in  
increments of 5 km/h (3 mph) within a range between 0 km/h (mph) and 15 km/h (9 mph) above  
the permitted maximum speed.  
Function limitations  
Dynamic Road Sign Display is subject to system-related limitations. The following conditions can  
restrict the function of Dynamic Road Sign Display, or prevent it from working altogether:  
—Poor visibility, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog or heavy spray.  
—Glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic or sunlight.  
—High speeds.  
—A covered or dirty camera.  
—Road signs located outside of the camera's field of view.  
—Partially or fully hidden road signs, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other vehicles.  
—Non-standard road signs.  
—Damaged or bent road signs.  
—Variable road signs on gantries (changeable road sign display using LEDs or other light  
sources).  
—Out-of-date map material in the Infotainment system.  
—Vehicles with road sign stickers, e.g. speed restrictions on trucks.  
WARNING  
The intelligent road sign recognition system technology cannot overcome the laws of physics,  
and functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra convenience afforded by  
Dynamic Road Sign Display tempt you into taking any risks when driving. The system is not a  
substitute for the full concentration of the driver.  
●
●
●
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic  
conditions.  
Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and fog can cause traffic signs to be not displayed or be  
incorrectly displayed by the system.  
If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the Dynamic Road  
Sign Display system may be impaired.  
WARNING  
Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the Dynamic Road Sign Display  
system may differ from the current traffic situation.  
●
Not all road signs can be recognised by the system and displayed correctly.  
●
Road signs on the road and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and  
displays provided by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system.  
NOTICE  
Availability of the Dynamic Road Sign Display function is limited in waypoint mode (waypoint  
navigation) of the Infotainment system.  
Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can  
therefore change automatically when the user account is changed (→ Personalisation,  
Description).
