Mine only seems to display the current speed limit, according to the manual it should also display no entry and stop signs when appropriate.
Are others the same, or is mine malfunctioning, thanks.

Agreed so do I,but its just irritating if you have a feature which you obviously payed for in the cost of the car which doesn't work ;)

Mine shows the speed but not always correct. I suspect it’s better at US stop signs.

I agree Dave, I don't really know why they are there. Do the manufacturers really think that we only look at the HUD and not at the road?
They would have done better to concentrate on the quality of the sat nav. My Garmin is 1000% better (okay I know that's not possible) and it shows me the most important thing of all, an accurate speed.

For a do not enter sign to be shown in the Active Display, the vehicle speed has to be about 50 mph or slower and the vehicle passes the sign :o

That you JT, that explains it then if you have to pass a sign for it to work the no entry will never show, well hopefully not :lol:

I also find mine struggles with the national speed limit sign. I am sure that once it works out that I am going faster than the one indicated in the HUD it changes to 60 or 70. Does it work in-conjunction with the Sat Nav?

From what I've read in the owner's manual, it uses the FSC to read a speed limit sign, however, if a sign is not recognised it will use the sat nav map data for the speed limit notifications (and will therefore not work if the SD card is missing).
