Description of the Sign Assist:
Sign Assist is available in combination with a navigation system, displaying detected traffic signs on the active navigation system's screen (map and/or pictograms). If the front camera detects speed limits or no overtaking signs, up to three of these signs appear on the multi-function display and navigation system. The navigation system presents the signs logically, showing the operative traffic sign (e.g., "130 km/h") first, followed by conditional signs (e.g., "80 km/h in wet conditions"). If the rain sensor detects precipitation, the relevant sign is displayed first.
