Tr a1c Sign Assist de tects tra1c signs with the
multifunction camera (/ page 213). It assists
yo uby displaying de tected speed limits and over-
ta king restrictions in the Instrument Displa y.
Obser vethe no tes on driving systems and your
re sponsibility; you may otherwise failto recognise
dangers (/ page 213).
Since Tra1c Sign Assist also uses the data stored
in the navigation system, it can update the display
in thefo llowing situations without de tecting tra1c
signs.
If th e system de tects that you are driving onto a
section of road in the wrong direction of tr avel, it
triggers a warning.
The camera also de tects tra1c signs with a
re striction indicated byan additional sign (e.g.
when wet). These are only displa yed if a restric- tion applies or if
the system cannot clear lyde ter-
mine whe ther there striction applies.
