Important safety notes
Traffic Sign Assist is only an aid and is not always
able to correctly display speed limits. Traffic
signs always have priority over the Traffic Sign
Assist display.
The system may be either functionally impaired
or temporarily unavailable if the information in
the digital street map of the navigation system is
incorrect or out of date.
Activating Traffic Sign Assist

the on-board computer (Ypage 222).
If you have activated the Traffic Sign Assist dis-
play in the on-board computer, the traffic regu-
lations (speed limits and overtaking restrictions)
appear in the instrument cluster for five seconds in each case. The wrong-way warning and the
traffic sign display for speed limits and overtak-
ing restrictions remain active even when the
display has been deactivated.
