Traffic light and sign
warning
Principle
The traffic light and sign warning provides sup-
port in situations in which the right-of-way
needs to be yielded based on road signs or
traffic lights.
This system uses a camera to analyze traffic
signs and traffic lights. The navigation system
directs information on the road layout to the
system.
For warning purposes, the respective traffic sit-
uation, for example, is displayed on the instru-
ment cluster. An acoustic signal also sounds in
acute warning situations.
A warning is given if the right of way is about
to be violated, e.g., in the following traffic situa-
tions:
▷
At an intersection.
▷ At a road entrance.
▷ On a highway entrance ramp.
▷ At a roundabout.
▷ With a red traffic light.
The traffic light and sign warning can be ac-
tivated or deactivated on the control display.
You can also configure the warning time.
