Display mode for road sign information*
When the function detects a road sign with an imposed speed limit the driver display shows the sign as a symbol combined with a coloured indication on the speedometer.
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 an entrance with no-entry signs, or with a prohibition confirmed by a sign and map data, the driver is warned with a flashing symbol in the driver display. The driver can also be given an acoustic warning when driving towards a no-entry road if acoustic warning for road signs is activated.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 symbol in the driver display extinguishes shortly after and is re-illuminated when the speed-related sign has been passed.
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 symbol in the driver display extinguishes after a while and is re-illuminated when the speed-related sign has been passed.
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 there is no information in the map data, 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.
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.
Some speed limits only apply after a certain distance or at a certain time of day. The driver's attention can drawn to this fact by means of a symbol for an additional sign below the speed symbol.
The additional symbol in the driver display will show either “DIST” or “TIME”.
Sign for "School" and "Children at play"
If a warning sign for "School" or "Children at play" is included in the map data*, the driver display shows a sign of this type.
