and evaluating the information from the cam-
er
a, the navigation system and the current

displayed,
›››
Fig. 77 with their additional
signs.
●

driver is shown in the left side of the screen
For example, a maximum speed limit of
130 km/h (100 mph)
›››
Fig. 77 .
●
Second: A sign valid only in certain circum-
stances, e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) is shown sec-
ond, together with the additional rain sign.
●
Additional sign: If the windscreen wiper is
working while you are driving, the signal with
the additional rain sign will be shown first, on
the left, as it is the one that is applicable at
the time.
●
Third: A sign valid only with restrictions, e.g.
No overtaking at certain times, will be dis-
played in third place
›››
Fig. 77 .
The permanent display on the instrument
panel screen is shown as you pass the real
traffic signs.
The signs for entering and leaving towns acti-
vate the display of the usual speed limits for
that country on roads in populated areas and
national highways, even if the speed is not
limited by an actual traffic sign.
The end of a prohibition or limitation is not
displayed.
If you exceed the speed limits shown, a warn-
ing will not appear. The system does not rec-
ognise residential street signs. The current le-
gal provisions apply.

play for speed limits and overtaking bans that

Limited operation
The traffic sign detection system has certain
limitations. The following cases may lead the
system to operate with limitations or not at
all:
●
In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow,
rain, fog or intense mist.
●
In cases of dazzling, e.g. caused by head-
on traffic or by the sun.
●
When driving at high speeds.
●
If the camera is covered or dirty.
●
If the traffic signs are out of the camera's
field of vision.
●
If the traffic signs are partially or totally
covered, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other vehi-
cles.
●
In the case of traffic signs that do not fulfil
the regulations.
●
In the case of damaged or bent traffic
signs.
●
In the case of variable messages on over-
head or gantry signs (LED-based variable
traffic signs or other lighting units).
●
If the maps on the navigation system are
not up-to-date.
●
In the case of adhesives affixed to vehicles
that depict traffic signs, e.g. speed limits on
lorries.
WARNING
The technology in the traffic sign detection
syst
em cannot change the limits imposed
by the laws of physics and only works with-
in the system's limits. Do not let the extra
convenience afforded by the traffic sign
detection system tempt you into taking any
risks when driving. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and
fog may lead to the system failing to dis-
play traffic signs or not displaying them
correctly.
●
If the camera's field of vision is dirty, cov-
ered or damaged, system operation may
be impaired.
