In addition a situation dependent detection of the traffic sign occurs for wet and foggy situations and when towing (for factory fitted towing hitches) and for daylight dependent speed limits. If a traffic sign is outside of the camera viewing field, it is possible that it can be provided by the data of the optional MMI navigation system or MMI navigation system plus with MMI touch provided it is stored on the system. The display of traffic signs occurs automatically in the display of the instrument panel or the Audi virtual cockpit and can be configured via the optional multifunction steering wheel.

The system has a purely informative character. In addition the optional MMI has the possibility of providing a traffic sign based warning when exceeding the recognized speed limit.
