interior rear-view mirror records the traffic
s ign
s in front of the vehicle. After checking
and evaluating the information from the cam-
era, the navigation system and the current
vehicle data, up to three valid traffic signs
are displayed ››› Fig. 198 B in conjunction
with their corresponding additional signs.
The sign that is currently valid for the
driver is shown in the left side of the
screen For example, a maximum speed
limit of 130 km/h (100 mph)
››› Fig. 198 A.
A sign valid only in certain circum-
stances, e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) is
shown second, together with the addi-
tional rain sign.
If the windscreen wiper is
working while you are driving, the signal
with the additional rain sign will be
shown first, on the left, as it is the one
that is applicable at the time.
A sign valid only with restrictions, e.g.
No overtaking at certain times, will be
displayed third ››› Fig. 198 C.
Speed warning
If the system detects that the permitted
speed is exceeded, it may warn the driver
with a “gong” and visually with a message
on the dash panel display.
The speed warning can be adjusted or deacti-
vated completely on the infotainment system First:

steps of 5 km/h (3 mph) within a range of be-
tween 0 km/h (mph) and 20 km (12 mph)
above the maximum speed permitted.
Trailer mode
In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket
device from the factory and a trailer that is
electrically connected to the vehicle, it is pos-
sible to activate or deactivate the display of
specific traffic signs for vehicles with trailer,
such as speed limits or overtaking prohibi-
tions. Activation or deactivation is performed
on the infotainment system by means of the
button  and the function buttons

 page 26.
For trailer mode, the display of speed limits
applicable to the type of trailer or to the legal
provisions can be adjusted. The speed is ad-
justed in steps of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a
range of between 60 km/h (40 mph) and
130 km (80 mph). If it is adjusted to a speed
greater than that which is permitted in the
country in question for driving with a trailer,
the system automatically displays the usual
speed limits, e.g. in Germany 80 km/h
(50 mph).
If the speed warning for the trailer is deacti-
vated, the system displays the speed limits
as if there were no trailer hitched. Limited operation
The traffic

sign detection system has certain
limitations. The following cases may lead the
system to operate with limitations or not at
all:
● In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow,
rain, f
og or intense mist.
● In cases of dazzling, e.g. caused by head-
on traffic
or by the sun.
● When driving at high speeds.
● If the camera is covered or dirty.
● If the traffic signs are out of the camera's
field of
vision.
● If the traffic signs are partially or totally
co
vered, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other ve-
hicles.
● In the case of traffic signs that do not fulfil
the re
gulations.
● In the case of damaged or bent traffic
sign
s.
● In the case of variable messages on over-
hea
d or gantry signs (LED-based variable traf-
fic signs or other lighting units).
● If the maps on the navigation system are
not up-t
o-date.
● In the case of adhesives affixed to vehicles
that
depict traffic signs, e.g. speed limits on
lorries.
