SAFETY
Display in the touch screen tablet then in the instrument panel
The display of traffic signs is done in the
following two phases:
- All new recognised traffic signs are
displayed in the touch screen tablet in
the form of a popup for 40 seconds.
- These traffic signs are then displayed in
the instrument panel.
The system can display two traffic signs
(speed limit and no overtaking ) in parallel
in the two dedicated zones of the instrument
panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected, such
as one for a reduced speed limit when the
road is wet, this is displayed in an empty
window below the corresponding sign.
Additional traffic signs are filtered as follows:
- Signs related to snow or ice are
displayed only if the ambient
temperature is below 3°C.
- Signs related to snow, rain or fog are
displayed only if the wipers are on and
the ambient temperature is below 3°C.
- Signs related to heavy goods vehicles
are only displayed if they apply to
vehicles weighing less than 4 tonnes.
- Signs related to farm vehicles are not
displayed.
Principles
Using the camera located at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and reads
speed limit and no overtaking traffic signs
and signs that indicate the end of these
restrictions.

Activation / Deactivation
The function is set with the MODE button;
in the "Traffic Sign" menu, select "ON"
or "OFF".
Operating limits
The legislation on speed limits is specific to
each country.
The system does not take account of
reduced speed limits in the following cases:
- poor weather (rain, snow),
- atmospheric pollution,
- trailer, caravan,
- driving with snow chains fitted,
- driving with a non-genuine
suspension kit,
- puncture repair using the temporary
repair kit,
- young drivers,
- ...
The system may suffer interference
or not work at all in the following
situations:
- poor visibility (dazzling sun, inadequate
street lighting, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, vehicle too far from the traffic
sign),
- low temperatures and particularly severe
climatic conditions,
- windscreen area ahead of the camera
dirty, misty, frosty, covered with snow,
damaged or masked by a sticker,
- fault with the camera,
- obsolete or incorrect mapping,
- hidden road signs (other vehicles,
vegetation, snow),
- traffic signs that do not conform to the
standard, are damaged or distorted,
- variation of load, placing the camera at a
large angle (the system may not work for
a moment while the camera recalibrates
itself).
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Vehicle configuration" section.
