IMPORTANT
41) The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than 10
cm away.
42) Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Dealership.
Incorrect paint application could affect the
operation of the parking sensors.
TRAFFIC SIGN
RECOGNITION
The TSR (Traffic Sign Recognition)
system is a driver assistance system
that alerts the user to the most
plausible road limits.
It is able to recognise both
unconditional speed limits and those in
rain, snow and fog (shown only when
they are valid).
Where available, a speed limit of these
types represents the applicable road
limit, always visible at the top of each
screen fig. 140.
140 AB0A0509
Road limits in other categories (e.g.
time restrictions, exit signs, etc.) and
the prohibition of overtaking are only
visible in the "Driver Assist" screen of
the instrument panel (see the "Display"
chapter in the "Knowing the instrument
panel" section).
NOTE The rain, fog or snow type
limits are only displayed if these
conditions are likely to occur, i.e. if the
windscreen wipers (in case of rain), the
fog lights/fog lights (in case of fog)
or the windscreen wipers with low
external temperature (in case of snow)
are activated.
The Traffic Sign Recognition system
is automatically active when the car is
started.
Using the "Settings" menu of the
Uconnect™ system the user can:
deactivate the system by removing
the check mark from the relevant menu
item
select the type of signalling when the
detected road limit is exceeded (off,
visual, visual and acoustic signalling).
See the "Uconnect™" chapter in
the "Multimedia" section for more
information.
If Speed Limiter or Adaptive Cruise
Control is active, the applicable road
limit (unconditional or rain/snow/fog
type) is made available and by pressing
the RES button can be accepted as
a speed for Intelligent Speed Assist
or alternatively for Intelligent Adaptive
Cruise Control (fig. 141).
