Traffic sign recognition
Usage
For vehicles with Lane Assist The indicator light
flashes even if your vehicle crosses the boundary line
in the direction of the approaching vehicle. The sys-
tem will trigger a steering wheel vibration in this
case.
The road sign recognition shows road signs in the
display of the instrument cluster. This also indicates
exceeding the speed limit.
For this, Lane Assist must be activated and the boun-
dary line between the vehicles recognized.
