Display mode for road sign information*
The Road Sign Information function shows road signs in different ways depending on the sign and the situation. The following illustrations are examples.
The function is available in certain markets.
When the function detects a road sign with an imposed speed limit, the driver display shows the sign as a symbol.
If the car is equipped with map data*, 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.
An additional sign, such as "no overtaking", may be shown together with the speed limit symbol.
At a road entrance with no-entry signs, or with the prohibition confirmed with sign and map data, the driver is warned by a flashing symbol in the driver display and an acoustic warning.2
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 symbol appears with the corresponding road sign in the driver's display.
If the car is equipped with map data*, direct speed limit signs are normally displayed – indirect speed limit signs are only displayed if map data has no information on the speed limit for the road section in question.
Example of indirect speed limit sign:
End of all restrictions.
End of motorway.
The driver display's symbol is extinguished shortly after and is re-illuminated when you next drive past a speed-related sign.
Changed speed limit
When passing a direct speed limit sign when a speed limit changes a symbol with the corresponding road sign appears in the driver's display.
Example of direct speed limit sign.
The driver display's symbol is extinguished shortly after and is re-illuminated when you next drive past a speed-related sign.
If the car is equipped with map data*, speed limit signs are shown in the driver display when map data contains information on the speed limit for the road section in question, even if no direct sign has been passed. If map data has no information, the sign is extinguished after a while.
Additional signs
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.
An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
Some speed limits only apply after a certain distance or at a certain time of day. The driver's attention is drawn to this fact by means of a symbol for an additional sign below the speed symbol.
Sign for "School" and "Children at play"
The driver display can show a sign for School or Children at Play, if the data is available.
