Questions & answers
Displays — Volkswagen Golf Mk7
What does the Golf Mk7 traffic sign recognition display look like?
A small speed limit circle (like a real sign) appears in the instrument cluster, along with any accompanying additional signs — for example, 'when wet' or 'end of zone'.
What does 'No traffic signs detected' mean on the Golf Mk7?
The system is either initialising after a start, or the camera has not recognised any signs on the current stretch of road. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
Can the Golf Mk7 traffic sign recognition make mistakes?
Yes. Temporary signs, signs on side roads, partially obscured signs, or electronic variable message signs may be read incorrectly or missed entirely.
