Safety -> Advanced Road Sign Display for Your Volkswagen Touran 4 Door Third Generation (2022-2025)

Introduction  
Fig. 1 In the instrument cluster display: Advanced Road  
Sign Display symbol.  
The Advanced Road Sign Display detects speed limits and no-overtaking zones and informs the driver if the  
permissible maximum speed is exceeded.  
Using a camera at the base of your interior rearview mirror, the Advanced Road Sign Display detects standardized  
road signs and informs you about speed restrictions and no-passing zones. Within the system limitations, the  
Dynamic Road Sign Display of the Advanced Road Sign Display also displays an additional sign to warn of temporary  
restrictions, for example. The system may also continue to display the valid speed limit on roads without signs.  
If the maximum speed limit is exceeded, the speed warning of the Advanced Road Sign Display visually informs you  
on the instrument cluster display with a blinking speed limit detected by the system and, depending on the settings, a  
warning tone → Warning Levels of the Speed Warning.

After checking and evaluating the information from the camera, the Infotainment system, and the current vehicle  
data, the activated Dynamic Road Sign Display function will display up to three valid road signs with the applicable  
additional signs, depending on the position of the display → fig. 2, → fig. 3, → fig. 4:  
1st position:  
The road sign that is currently valid is shown on the left side of the display, for example a speed limi1t 30 km/h  
(80 mph).  
2nd position:  
Another road sign can be displayed in second position, for example100 km/h (60 mph) “in wet conditions”.  
Additional signs:  
A recognized additional sign, e.g. for a time restriction, is displayed under the applicable traffic sign. Depending  
on the vehicle equipment, the applicable traffic sign in the head-up display is supplemented by the generic  
additional sign.  
3rd position:  
Another road sign can be displayed in the third position, such as a “Temporary passing restriction”.  
When driving on highways or two-lane expressways in Germany, the Dynamic Road Sign Display also displays the  
52  
road sign for the lifting of all road restrictions, in addition to the speed limits and passing restrictions. In all other  
countries, the valid speed limit is displayed instead.  
The road signs detected by the Dynamic Road Sign Display are shown in the display of the instrument cluster.  
Depending on the Infotainment system installed in the vehicle, the road signs may also be displayed there.  
WARNING  
The Advanced Road Sign Display is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system  
limitations. This means that the Advanced Road Sign Display cannot detect all road signs and may not react, or may  
react with a delay or in a way that is not desired. Driving recommendations and road signs displayed in the Dynamic  
Road Sign Display may differ from the actual traffic situation.  
Observe the system limitations (→ Advanced Road Sign Display).  
Keep the navigation data up to date.  
Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the  
vehicle.  
Traffic signs on the roads and traffic regulations must always take precedence over driving recommendations and  
displays from the Dynamic Road Sign Display function.  
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.  
Pay attention to indicators in the instrument cluster display and respond to the prompts accordingly (→ Advanced  
Road Sign Display).  
System Limitations of Advanced Road Sign Display  
The Advanced Road Sign Display has system-related limitations. The following conditions may cause the Advanced  
Road Sign Display to only work with limitations or not at all:  
High ambient temperature or long exposure to direct sunlight.  
Poor visibility, such as in snow.  
Glare, for example from oncoming traffic or the sun  
High speeds  
Dirty camera.  
If road signs are outside of the camera’s visual field  
If road signs are partially or completely covered, for example by trees, snow, dirt, or other vehicles.  
If road signs are not in the standard format  
If there are damaged or bent road signs  
If there are variable traffic signs on overhead signs (variable display of road signs byLED  
s or other lighting).  
If there is outdated map material in the Infotainment system  
If there are stickers on vehicles that indicate road signs, such speed limits on commercial vehicles  
The system sometimes uses the camera behind the windshield. You can find further information in the  
information about the sensor system .  
The system will also use navigation data if the vehicle does not have a navigation system. Keep the navigation  
data up to date (→ Navigation). Please contact suitably qualified professionals if you have any questions.  
Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service  
Facility.
