Wrong way warning
Principle
The wrong way warning warns the driver of
an upcoming wrong entry onto roads, for in-
stance onto freeways, roundabouts and one-
way streets.
The system uses sensors and, depending on
vehicle equipment, navigation data and traffic
signs to monitor the traffic situation.
For warning purposes, a corresponding traffic
sign is displayed on the instrument cluster and
an acoustic signal sounds.
Safety information
Follow the safety information in the "Forward
Collision Mitigation" chapter.

clearly with traffic signs.
The Wrong Way Warning system recognizes
the following traffic signs, for example:

▷ Direction arrows for required passing ma-
neuver.
