WARNING

Road Sign Information and Sensus

The function is supplementary driver

support intended to facilitate driving

and make it safer – it cannot handle all

situations in all traffic, weather and

road conditions.

(p. 291)

The driver is advised to read all sec-

tions in the Owner's Manual that relate

to this function to learn about factors

such as its limitations and what the

driver should be aware of before using

the system.

Examples of readable signs²²

.

RSI can provide information about such things

as current speed, when a motorway or road is

starting/ending, when overtaking is prohibited

or when the direction of travel is one-way.

Driver support functions are not a sub-

stitute for the driver's attention and

judgement. The driver is always

responsible for ensuring the car is

driven in a safe manner, at the appro-

priate speed, with an appropriate dis-

tance to other vehicles, and in accord-

ance with current traffic rules and reg-

ulations.

•

If the car passes a speed limit sign, it will be

shown on the driver display.

Road sign information (RSI²³) also includes

subfunctions that can warn the driver if a

speed limit has been exceeded or in connec-

tion with speed cameras.

Automatic speed limiter (p. 297)

If the car is fitted with Sensus Navigation*,

speed-related information is also obtained

from map data, which means that the driver

display can show or change information on

the speed limit without having passed a

speed-related sign.

DRIVER SUPPORT

An additional sign, such as

"no overtaking", may be

shown together with the

speed limit symbol.

if map data has no information on the speed

limit for the road section in question.

The driver display symbol extinguishes after

about 5 minutes until the next speed-related

sign is passed.

Example of indirect speed limit sign:

End of all restrictions.

If the car is fitted with Sensus Navigation*,

speed limit signs are shown in the driver dis-

play when map data contains information on

the speed limit for the road section in ques-

tion, even if no direct sign has been passed. If

there is no information in map data, the sign is

extinguished approx. 3 minutes after the last

passing of a speed limit sign.

If the driver enters a road

marked with a no-entry sign

at the roadside, the symbol

for this sign flashes on and

off on the driver display as a

warning.

End of motorway.

Additional signs

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation*,

information from map data is used to deter-

mine whether the car is being driven in the

wrong direction.

The driver display symbol extinguishes after

10-30 seconds and remains so until the next

speed related sign is passed.

The driver can also get an acoustic warning

when driving towards a road marked with a

no-entry sign if the Road Sign Audio

Warning function is activated.

Changed speed limit

When passing a direct speed limit sign when a

speed limit changes, a symbol with the corres-

ponding road sign appears in the driver's dis-

play.

Speed limit or end of motorway

When the function detects an "indirect speed

limit sign" stating the end of the current speed

limit – e.g. at the end of a motorway – a sym-

bol appears with the corresponding road sign

in the driver's display.

Examples of additional signs.

Example of direct speed limit

sign.

Sometimes different speed limits are signed

for the same road - an additional sign then

indicates the circumstances under which the

different speeds apply. The road section may

be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain

and/or fog, for example.

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation*,

direct speed limit signs are normally displayed

– indirect speed limit signs are only displayed

only if the windscreen wipers are in use.

If a warning sign for "School"

or "Children at play" is

included in the satellite navi-

gator's map data²⁷, the driver

display shows a sign of this

type.

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation*,

speed information is read from the navigation

unit in the following cases:

If a trailer is connected to the car's electrical

system and you pass a speed sign with the

additional sign "trailer", the indicated speed

will appear on the driver display.

On detection of signs that indirectly indi-

cate a speed limit, such as motorway, dual

carriageway and city limit signs.

•

Some speed limits only apply

after a certain distance or at a

certain time of day. The driv-

er's attention is drawn to this

fact by means of a symbol for

an additional sign below the

assumed not to apply any longer, but no

speed symbol. The additional

symbol in the driver display will show either

“DIST” or “TIME”.

In certain markets, the Road Sign Informa-

tion function* is only available in combina-

tion with Sensus Navigation*.

A symbol for additional sign

in the form of an empty frame

under the driver display's

speed symbol²⁶means that

the function has detected an

additional sign with supple-

mentary information for the

current speed limit.

If a downloaded third-party app is used for

navigation then there is no support for

speed-related information.

DRIVER SUPPORT

A speed warning is always given if the speed

limit is exceeded in connection with speed

camera information.

Warning for speed limitation and

speed camera from road sign

information*

Road sign information (RSI²⁸) includes sub-

functions that can warn the driver if a speed

limit has been exceeded or in connection with

speed cameras.

Warning for speed camera

A car equipped with road

sign information and Sensus

Navigation can provide infor-

mation on an upcoming

speed camera in the driver

display³⁰

Speed Limit Warning warns the driver when

the applicable speed limit or stored maximum

speed is exceeded – this warning is repeated

once after approx. 30 seconds within the

same speed limit area unless the driver

reduces the speed.

If the car exceeds a detected speed limit with

the Speed Limit Warning function activated,

a speed warning is given when the car

approaches a speed camera, provided that the

navigation map for the area in question con-

tains information on speed cameras.

Another warning is available only when the

driver has reduced the speed by at least

5 km/h (3 mph) and then exceeds the speed

limit again, or when the car reaches a new/

different speed limit area.

An option is available to receive an acous-

tic warning for speed cameras independ-

ently of the car's speed and exceeded

speed limit, and even if the Road Sign

Audio Warning function is deactivated.

To get an acoustic warning if you exceed

the required speed, the Speed Limit

Warning function must be activated and

the Road Sign Audio Warning subfunc-

tion must be set to On. An acoustic warn-

ing is then given if the car's speed exceeds

the speed indicated by the Road Sign

Information function in the driver display.

Limitations of Road Sign

Speed limiter

A speed limiter (SL³⁵) can be likened to a

reverse cruise control - the driver regulates

the speed using the accelerator pedal but is

prevented from accidentally exceeding a pre-

selected/set maximum speed by the speed

limiter.

Information*

The RSI function may interpret some types

of bicycle rack, connected to the electrical

socket for trailers, as a connected trailer. In

such cases, the driver display may show

incorrect speed information.

The Road Sign Information (RSI³²) function

may have limitations in certain situations.

Examples of what can reduce the function are

as follows:

Faded signs

•

Signs positioned on bends

Rotated or damaged signs

Signs positioned high above the roadway

This function uses the car's camera and

radar units, which have certain general lim-

itations.

Fully/partially obscured or poorly posi-

tioned signs
