Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual: Function

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings 

The road sign recognition system does not work in all countries. Please remember this when travelling abroad.

Display of road signs

The speed limits and overtaking instructions with an accompanying additional sign are displayed in the instrument cluster  . Depending on the navigation system integrated into the vehicle, the road signs may be also be displayed in the navigation system map display.

When road sign recognition is switched on road signs in front of the vehicle can be picked up via a camera in the interior mirror. After inspection and evaluation of the information from the camera the navigation system and the current vehicle data, up to three valid road signs with the accompanying additional signs will be displayed. The road sign that currently applies for the driver is displayed in first place (left). Road signs that do not always apply (e.g. 90 km/h with additional sign In wet) are shown in second place. If the vehicle rain sensor detects rain while you are driving, the road sign with the additional in wet sign that now applies will be moved to first place.

The permanent display in the instrument cluster occurs when you drive past the real road sign. Town or village boundary signs trigger, unless regulated by a real road sign, the display of the standard speed limit for urban or country roads in your country.

End of ... signs are not displayed. There is no warning when you exceed the displayed speed limits. Traffic-calmed areas are not recognised by the system. The legal regulations apply.
