Sign Assist
Sign Assist
Sign Assist is always offered in combination with a navigation system as the traffic signs are also indicated on the display of the active navigation system (map and/or pictograms). If the front camera detects speed limits or no overtaking signs, up to three of these signs are indicated on the multi-function display ahead of the driver and on the navigation system. The navigation system displays the signs in a logical sequence together with all relevant additional information. The operative traffic sign (e.g. “130 km/h”) is always shown first, followed by signs which apply under certain conditions on a temporary basis (e.g. “80 km/h” “in wet conditions”) in second place. If the rain sensor detects precipitation, the operative traffic sign with the additional information “in wet conditions” is shown in first place.

Technology in the new Touareg – Part 5: the head-up display projects information onto the windscreen
The Innovision cockpit in the new Touareg – an interactive digital landscape consisting of display and control elements – is the blueprint for the cockpit of the future. A head-up display lends the perfect finishing touch: it projects a virtual summary of the latest key information into the driver’s selective field of vision. -
The new Volkswagen Arteon Innovative assistance systems in detail – part 3: "Adaptive cruise control ACC" looks ahead
The Arteon is a gran turismo, ideal for long distances. The new, optionally available "adaptive cruise control ACC" with predictive speed control gives enhanced comfort over long distances. The further developments in "ACC" can integrate speed limits for the first time. So far, the assistance system was known purely as cruise control: adjust the desired speed, that's all. Within system limits, "adaptive cruise control ACC" can take over braking and acceleration. So far, so good. However, anyone who has ever driven a car with "ACC" will have wished that the system could "think" and also take into account bends and speed limits, thus adding even more comfort. The Arteon is the first Volkswagen to do just that: within system limits, it reacts to bends and speed limits and integrates them into the adaptive speed control. -
"The third eye for the right speed" – Dynamic Road Sign Display delivers the latest information in real time
"Is there still a speed limit?" Probably every motorist has at some time asked this question either in the city or when driving on open roads and motorways. If you can't get any indications either from passengers or other signs, you run the risk of getting caught at the next speed control. In this case Volkswagen's traffic sign recognition can be helpful. Within the limits of the system, you can check on the most important warning and prohibition signs along the routes in real time.
