Traffic Sign Recognition System
Reminds you of road sign information, such as the current speed limit and that
overtaking is prohibited, your vehicle has just passed through, showing it on the
driver information interface and the head-up display*.
1Traffic Sign Recognition System
The system is designed to detect signs that follow the
Vienna Convention standards. Not all signs may be
displayed, but any signs posted on roadsides should
not be ignored. The system does not work on the
designated traffic signs of all the countries you travel,
nor in all situations.
How the System Works
β
When the camera located behind the rearview mirror captures traffic signs while
driving, the system displays the ones that are recognised as designated for your
vehicle. The sign icon will be displayed until the vehicle reaches a predetermined
time and distance.
Do not rely too much on the system. Always drive at
speeds appropriate for the road conditions.
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windscreen that could obstruct the cameraβs field of
vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.

cause the system to operate abnormally. If this
occurs, we recommend that you replace the

windscreen. Making even minor repairs within the
cameraβs field of vision or installing an aftermarket
replacement windscreen may also cause the system
to operate abnormally. After replacing the

If your vehicle exceeds the detected speed limit, an
icon representing the speed limit sign for the current
area will blink in the display.
The systemβs ability to accurately notify the driver of
the speed limit is dependent on certain conditions
such as the units displayed on the traffic sign as well
as the speed and direction of travel of the vehicle. In
some cases, the system may display false warnings or
other inaccurate information.

The unit for speed limits (mph or km/h) varies from
country to country. If you enter a country whose unit
differs to the one of the country from which you
came, use the instrument panel to change the unit,
otherwise the system will not work correctly.
