Display mode for road sign information*
The Road Sign Information function (RSI1) shows road signs in different ways depending on the sign and the situation.
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.
Since speed-related information is obtained from map data, 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.
If the driver enters a road marked with this no-entry sign on each side, or on one side with confirmation from map data, the symbol for this sign flashes on and off in the driver display to warn the driver. The driver can also be given an acoustic warning when driving towards a no-entry road if the function for acoustic warning for road signs is activated.3
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 may be shown with the corresponding road sign in the driver display.
Normal speed limit signs are displayed in normal cases even if an indirect speed limit sign has been passed – indirect speed limit signs are only shown if map data has no information on the speed limit for the section of road in question.
Example of indirect speed limit sign:
End of all restrictions.
End of motorway.
The driver display symbol extinguishes after 10-30 seconds and remains so until the next speed related sign is 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 driver display symbol extinguishes after about 5 minutes until the next speed-related sign is passed.
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 map data, the sign goes off after approx. 3 minutes after the last passing of a speed limit sign.
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 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"
If a warning sign for "School" or "Children at play" is included in the satellite navigator's map data, the driver display shows a sign of this type.
