TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION LIMITATIONS [G2389847]

The traffic sign recognition system does not operate to the optimum performance, if the windshield area in front of the rear-view mirror becomes blocked. For example, by stickers, mud, snow, or debris. The traffic sign recognition continues to operate using the vehicle’s navigation map information. In the event that the traffic sign recognition system becomes unavailable, the speed limit alert feature also becomes unavailable.

The traffic sign recognition system:

• Does not perform to the best of its ability in adverse weather conditions. For example, heavy fog, rain, or snow.
• May not perform, or may perform incorrectly, when the vehicle is traveling through an area not covered by the navigation system.
• May function incorrectly when driving toward bright lights.
• May not recognize concealed, covered, or non-conforming road signs.
• May not perform to the best of its ability if the navigation maps are out of date.

The instrument panel displays messages to inform the driver if the forward-facing camera is blocked.
