TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION
(where fitted)
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system provides
the driver with information about the most recently
detected speed limit. The system captures the road
sign information with the multi-sensing front camera
unit
j1 located in front of the interior rear-view mir-
ror and displays the detected signs in the vehicle
information display. For vehicles equipped with
NissanConnect, the speed limit displayed is based
on a combination of navigation system data and live
camera recognition. TSR information is always dis-
played at the top of the vehicle information display,
and optionally in the main central area of the display
screen. See “[Contents selection]” earlier in this
section for details of how to adapt the display of
TSR information.
WARNING
The TSR system is only intended to be a support
device to provide the driver with information. It is
not a replacement for the driver’s attention to
traffic conditions or responsibility to drive safely.
It cannot prevent accidents due to carelessness.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert and
drive safely at all times.
System operation
The traffic recognition system displays the following
types of road sign:
jALatest detected speed limit.
jBNational speed limit
jCNo speed limit information.
jDNo-overtaking zone.
jEEnd of no-overtaking zone.

dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not ad-
justed properly.
•When strong light enters the camera unit.
(For example, the light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sun-
set.)
•When a sudden change in brightness oc-
curs. (For example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
•In areas not covered by the navigation sys-
tem.
•If there are deviations in relation to the
navigation, for example due to changes in
the road routing.
•When overtaking buses or trucks with
speed stickers.
