On the instrument cluster display: Advanced Road Sign

Display symbol.

The Advanced Road Sign Display system detects speed limits and overtaking restrictions and informs the driver if the maximum

permitted speed is exceeded.

The Advanced Road Sign Display system uses a camera in the base of the interior mirror to detect standard road signs and informs the

driver of any detected speed limits or overtaking restrictions. Within the system limits, the Dynamic Road Sign Display of the Advanced

Road Sign Display system also displays sub-plates, e.g. to indicate restrictions that apply only at certain times. In some cases, the

system can also display the current speed limits on non-signposted routes.

If the maximum permitted speed is exceeded, the speed warning function of the Advanced Road Sign Display system shows this

visually on the instrument cluster display by a flashing speed limit detected by the system and, depending on setting, also issues an

acoustic warning → Warning levels of the speed warning function.

After validation and evaluation of the information from the camera, the Infotainment system and the current vehicle data, the Dynamic

Road Sign Display shows up to three valid road signs with the accompanying sub-plates, depending on the display location → Fig. 2,

→ Fig. 3, → Fig. 4:

1st position:

The road sign that currently applies to the driver is shown on the left-hand side of the display, e.g. a speed limit of 130 km/h

(80 mph).

2nd position:

A sub-plate sign can be shown in second position, e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) “when wet”.

Sub-plate:

A detected sub-plate, e.g. with time restrictions, is displayed under the valid road sign. Depending on equipment, the valid road

sign is supplemented with the generic sub-plate in the head-up display.

3rd position:

A further road sign can be displayed in the third position, e.g. “overtaking not permitted at certain times”.

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 display. Road signs may also be

displayed in the Infotainment system, depending on the system installed in the vehicle.

WARNING

The Advanced Road Sign Display system is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of

the system. The Advanced Road Sign Display system therefore cannot recognise all road signs and may not react or may react with a

delay or in an undesired way. Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system may

differ from the current traffic situation.

● Observe the system limits (→ Advanced Road Sign Display).

● Keep the navigation data up-to-date.

● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is always responsible for all driving tasks.

● Road signs on the road and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and displays provided by the Dynamic Road

Sign Display system.

● Always adapt your speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather and road or traffic conditions.

● Follow the information in the instrument cluster display and respond according to the requests (→ Advanced Road Sign Display).

The Advanced Road Sign Display has system-related limitations. The following conditions can limit the function of the Advanced Road

Sign Display system, or prevent it from working altogether:

—High ambient temperatures or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

—Poor visibility, e.g. in snowy conditions.

—Glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic or sunlight.

—High speeds.

—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.

The system partly uses the camera behind the windscreen. You can find further information in the section on sensors .

The system also uses navigation data even if the vehicle does not have a navigation system. Keep the navigation data up-to-

date (→ Navigation). If you have any questions, please contact a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using

an authorised Volkswagen repairer.

Function conditions

The speed warning function warns at speeds above around 20 km/h (around 12 mph).

Switching on and off

Depending on the country, the speed warning is always switched on when the engine is started. If required, you can switch off the

speed warning manually in the Infotainment system.

1. Open the Assist systems menu.

2. Switch the speed warning on or off in the corresponding submenu.

Activating and deactivating the acoustic warning

In the Infotainment system:

1. Open the Assist systems menu.

2. Tap Speed warning.

3. Activate or deactivate the acoustic warning in the corresponding option.

The acoustic warning is always activated when the engine is started.

Adjusting the warning threshold

You can adjust the warning thresholds of the speed warning function manually.

In the Infotainment system:

1. Open the Assist systems menu.

2. Tap Speed warning.

3. To select the level for the warning thresholds, tap

in the Warning threshold menu option.

When the engine is started, the warning thresholds of the speed warning are always reset to the default value.

Activating and deactivating the change tone

The change tone informs the driver acoustically about a change in the speed limits. You can switch off the change tone manually if

required.

In the Infotainment system:

1. Open the Assist systems menu.

2. Tap Speed warning.

3. Activate or deactivate the change tone in the corresponding option.

Hiding fault messages via the multifunction steering wheel

1. Press the

button on the multifunction steering wheel.

Trailer mode

In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket and a trailer with an electrical connection to the vehicle, the display of road signs that

may apply to the vehicle when towing a trailer, e.g. applicable speed limits and no-overtaking signs, can be activated or deactivated in

the vehicle settings menu in the Infotainment system.

In trailer mode, display of the valid speed limits can be adjusted to the type of trailer and to country-specific legal requirements.

In the Infotainment system:

1. Open the Assist systems menu.

2. Tap Trailer detection.

3. To adapt the warning threshold specifically for trailer mode, tap

in the Warning when exceeding menu option.

If the system detects that the maximum permitted speed has been exceeded, it shows this visually on the instrument cluster display by

a flashing speed limit detected by the system and, depending on setting, also issues an acoustic warning. A warning is issued in two

warning levels.

On the instrument cluster display: detected violation of

maximum permitted speed (illustration).

Speed warning – Level 1

Violation of maximum permitted speed detected.

The speed limit detected by the system flashes continuously in the instrument cluster and, depending on equipment, in the head-up

display → Fig. 1.

Speed warning – Level 2

Progressive violation of maximum permitted speed detected.

An acoustic warning sounds. The speed limit detected by the system flashes continuously in the instrument cluster and, depending on

equipment, in the head-up display → Fig. 1.

The second warning level is triggered if the speed continues to increase above the speed limit.

The second warning level is cancelled again when the driver actively slows down.

Advanced Road Sign Display is outside the operating region
