Dynamic Road Sign Display (Sign Assist)
Fig. 14 On the instrument cluster display: examples of recognised speed limits and overtaking
restrictions with accompanying additional signs.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction
Dynamic Road Sign Display uses a camera in the base of the interior mirror to monitor standard road
signs and informs the driver of any detected speed limits or overtaking restrictions. Within the limits
of the system, the system also displays additional signs, e.g. temporary restrictions, signs related to
towing a trailer ⇒ Trailer towing or restrictions in wet weather conditions. In some cases, the
system can also display the current speed limits on non-signposted routes.
Displays
In addition to speed limits and overtaking restrictions, Dynamic Road Sign Display also detects the
sign which indicates that all restrictions have been lifted on motorways and main roads in Germany.
In all other countries, the currently valid speed limit is displayed instead.
The road signs detected by Dynamic Road Sign Display are displayed on the instrument cluster
⇒ Fig. 14 and in some cases also on the Infotainment system, depending on which version is
installed in the vehicle. In some equipment levels, a display is also shown on the Head-up Display
⇒ Instrument cluster .

Display of road signs
After validation and evaluation of the information from the camera, the Infotainment system and
the current vehicle data, the activated Dynamic Road Sign Display shows up to three valid road signs
⇒ Fig. 14 with the accompanying additional signs:
1st position:The road sign that currently applies for the driver is shown on the left-hand side of the
display, e.g. a speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph) ⇒ Fig. 14 .2nd position:Road signs that do not
always apply (e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) in wet) are shown in second place.Additional sign:if the
windscreen wiper is active while the vehicle is in motion, the now valid road sign with the additional
In wet sign, for example, will be moved left to the first position.3rd position:Further road signs that
do not always apply will be displayed in the third position, e.g. overtaking not permitted at certain
times ⇒ Fig. 14 .
Speed warning
If the Dynamic Road Sign Display detects that an applicable speed limit has been exceeded, it can
issue an acoustic warning signal and display a message on the instrument cluster display.
The speed warning can be set or completely deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment
system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu . The settings can be adjusted in increments of 5 km/h (3 mph)
within a range between 0 km/h (mph) and 15 km/h (9 mph) above the permitted maximum speed.
Trailer mode
In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket and a trailer with an electrical connection to the
vehicle, the display of road signs that may apply to the vehicle when towing a trailer, e.g. applicable
speed limits and no-overtaking signs, can be activated or deactivated in the vehicle settings in the
Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu .
In trailer mode, the speed warning function display can be adjusted to the type of trailer or to legal
requirements. The settings can be adjusted in increments of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a range
between 60 km/h (40 mph) and 130 km/h (80 mph). If a higher speed is set than is permitted for
driving with a trailer in the country in which you are currently travelling, Dynamic Road Sign Display
automatically issues a warning at the usual speed limit, e.g. at 80 km/h (50 mph) in Germany.
If the speed warning for the trailer is deactivated, Dynamic Road Sign Display issues warnings as if
the vehicle was being driven without a trailer.
Function limitations
Dynamic Road Sign Display is subject to system-related limitations. The following conditions can
restrict the function of Dynamic Road Sign Display, or prevent it from working altogether:
Poor visibility, e.g. snow, rain, fog or heavy spray.
Glare, e.g. due to oncoming traffic or sunlight.
High speeds.
Covered or dirty camera.
Road signs that are located outside of the camera's field of view.

Fig. 32 The unbelted rear passenger is thrown forward and strikes the belted driver.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction
Many people believe that the occupants can brace their weight with their hands in a minor collision.
This is not true.
Even at low speeds, the forces acting on the body in a collision are so great that it is not possible to
brace yourself with your arms and hands. In a frontal collision, vehicle occupants who have not
fastened their seat belts will be thrown forward and will make unchecked contact with parts of the
vehicle interior, e.g. the steering wheel, dash panel, or windscreen ⇒ Fig. 31 .
The airbag system is not a substitute for the seat belts. Airbags provide only additional protection
when deployed. Airbags will not be triggered in all kinds of accidents. Even if the vehicle is equipped
with an airbag system, all vehicle occupants, including the driver, must fasten their seat belt and
wear it correctly while the vehicle is in motion. This will reduce the risk of severe or fatal injuries in
the event of an accident – regardless of whether an airbag is fitted for the seat.
An airbag can be triggered only once. To achieve the best possible protection, the seat belt must
always be worn properly so that you will be protected in accidents in which no airbag is deployed.
Any vehicle occupants not wearing a seat belt can be thrown out of the vehicle and sustain more
severe or even fatal injuries as a result.
It is also important for the rear seat occupants to wear seat belts properly, as they could otherwise
be thrown forwards violently in an accident. Rear seat passengers who are not wearing seat belts
endanger not only themselves and the driver, but also other people in the vehicle ⇒ Fig. 32 .
Page 73 of 502
Never attach any objects, such as drink or telephone holders, to the covers of the airbags or
anywhere in the airbag deployment zone.
No other people, animals or objects may be carried between the occupants of the front seats and
the airbag deployment zone. Make sure that children and passengers also keep to this rule.
Do not attach any objects, e.g. mobile navigation devices, to the windscreen above the front airbag
on the front passenger side.
Do not cover or stick anything on the steering wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of the airbag unit
on the front passenger side, and do not obstruct or modify them in any way.
WARNING
The front airbags are deployed in front of the steering wheel ⇒ Fig. 40 and dash panel⇒ Fig. 41 .
When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the outside of the rim at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
Adjust the driver seat so that there is at least 25 cm between your breastbone and the hub of the
steering wheel. Contact a qualified workshop if your physical build makes this impracticable.
Adjust the front passenger seat so that the distance between the front passenger and the dash panel
is as large as possible.

OR: switch off the automatic headlights .
OR: switch off the ignition.
OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam.
System limits
The main beam must be manually switched off under the following conditions, as it is not switched
off by the main-beam control in time or at all:
In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs.
Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.
In tight bends, with half-hidden oncoming traffic, on steep crests or in dips.
With oncoming traffic on roads with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the
central barrier e.g. truck drivers.
In fog, snow or heavy rain.
In conditions with swirled-up dust and sand.
If the windscreen is damaged in the camera's field of vision.
If the camera's field of vision is covered by condensation, dirt, a sticker, or by snow or ice.
If the camera is faulty or the power supply is interrupted.
WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main-beam control tempt you into taking any risks
when driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Always check the vehicle lights yourself and adapt them to the prevailing conditions for light,
visibility and road traffic.
The main-beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not
work properly in certain situations.
If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the main-beam control
may be impaired. This also applies if changes are made to the vehicle's lighting system, for example
if additional headlights are fitted.
Page 136 of 502
NOTICE
Please observe the following points in order to avoid impairing the proper function of the system:
Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.
Do not cover the camera's field of view.
Regularly check the area of the windscreen that is in the camera's field of view for damage.
Light-emitting objects in the camera's field of operation, e.g. mobile navigation devices, can impair
the functions of the main-beam control system.

Depending on the equipment level, the background lighting provides indirect light in various areas of
the vehicle interior.
The front footwell may also be illuminated.
The brightness of the background lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle
settings menu ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .
The lights go out when the vehicle is locked or after a delay of a few minutes when the vehicle key is
removed from the ignition lock. This prevents the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes ⇒ Personalisation .
