spee dpermitted and overtaking restrictions
to the drive rinthe instrument cluster. Driving
onto asection of road in the wrong direction
trigger sawarning. Traffi cSign Assist detects
traffic signs with camera system :attached
behind the top of the windscreen. The data
and genera ltraffic regulations stored in the

The traffic signs are only displayed with the
restrictions if:
R the regulation must be observed with the
restriction, or
R Traffi cSign Assist is unable to determine
whether the restriction applies
If Traffi cSign Assist is unable to determine a
maximu mpermitted spee dfrom any of the
available sources, no spee dlimi tisd isplayed
in the instrument cluster either. Traffi
