Messages on the display
If the rear load compartment is open,
the camera will not detect any obstacle
in the rear part of the vehicle. The
display will show a dedicated warning
message.
In this case, close the load
compartment using the handle,
pressing it next to the lock until it clicks
(see the "Doors" paragraph in the
"Knowing your vehicle" chapter).
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 with a symbol. Example:
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 vehicle 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 .
The recognition of valid road limits
depends very much on road
conditions, the positioning of signs,
visibility conditions and various other
factors. The system supplies and
reminds the driver of the most plausible
road limit.
The TSR system cannot provide an
applicable speed limit in the following
cases:
if an end-of-limit sign is recognised
and if the navigator (where provided)
is unable to provide a valid limit on
that stretch of road. The symbol
appears on the display.
in case of system fault or
unavailability, the symbol appears
on the display.
NOTE In some cases, the system
may show this symbol when
recalculating the route by the
navigation system (where provided).
With Uconnect™ without
navigation system
The TSR system uses the camera,
located in the central area of the
windscreen fig. 226 and reminds the
user of the last road limit recognised by
the camera.
