Volkswagen ID.4: Operating the Driver Alert System

Volkswagen ID.4 2021-2024 (E21) Owners Manual / Operating the Driver Alert System

Hiding a message

The message in the instrument cluster display can be hidden as follows:

1. Press the button on the multi-function steering wheel.

Switching on and off

You can switch the Driver Alert System on and off using the Assistance menu in the Infotainment system. When establishing drive-ready mode, the Driver Alert System is always activated (→ Vehicle settings menu).

Introduction

Using a camera at the base of your interior rearview mirror, the Dynamic Road Sign Display detects standardized road signs and informs you about speed restrictions, no-overtaking zones and hazard signs. Within the system limits, the system also displays an additional sign to indicate time-limited restrictions, for example. The system may also continue to display the valid speed limit on roads without signs.

When driving on highways or two-lane expressways in Germany, the Dynamic Road Sign Display also displays the road sign for the lifting of all road restrictions, in addition to the speed limits and passing restrictions. In all other countries, the valid speed limit is displayed instead.

The traffic signs recorded by the Dynamic Road Sign Display are shown in the display of the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. Depending on the Infotainment system installed in the vehicle, the road signs may also be displayed there.

Depending on the equipment, a display may also appear in the head-up display.

Dynamic Road Sign Display is always active when the ignition is started.

After checking and evaluating the information from the camera, the Infotainment system, and the current vehicle data, the Dynamic Road Sign Display function displays up to two valid traffic signs and a generic additional sign → fig. 1 :

1st position:

The road sign that is currently valid is shown on the left side of the display, for example a speed limi1t 30 km/h (80 mph).

2nd position:

Another road sign can be displayed in the second position, such as a hazard sign.

Additional signs:

A recognized additional sign, e.g. for a time restriction, is displayed under the applicable traffic sign. Depending on the system, a generic additional sign is displayed instead of the actually recognized additional sign. The applicable traffic sign in the head-up display is supplemented by the generic additional sign.

The hazard sign display is not available in all countries, and it is possible that the system is not able to detect every hazard sign.

Entry restriction warning

If the Dynamic Road Sign Display function detects that entry onto a one-way street or highway on-ramp is prohibited, it will provide an audio and visual warning message in the instrument cluster display.

WARNING

The Dynamic Road Sign Display is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Consequently, the Dynamic Road Sign Display cannot detect all road signs and may not react, or may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. Driving recommendations and road signs displayed in the Dynamic Road Sign Display may differ from the actual traffic situation.

  • Observe the system limitations (→ Dynamic Road Sign Display).
  • Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the vehicle.
  • Traffic signs on the roads and traffic regulations must always take precedence over driving recommendations and displays from the Dynamic Road Sign Display function.
  • Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

Some settings can be saved in the driver personalization user profiles and can then be changed automatically when the user profile is switched.
