Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) (Type A) (where fitted)
NOTE:
TSR Type A is for models with the [Driver Assist Custom] setting in the [Shortcut Menu] screen of the vehicle information display.
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system provides the driver with information about the most recently detected speed limit. The system captures road sign information with the front camera unit located in front of the interior rear-view mirror and displays the detected signs in the Vehicle Information Display and in the Head-Up Display (HUD) (where fitted).
For vehicles equipped with NissanConnect, the speed limit displayed is based on a combination of navigation system data and live camera recognition. TSR information is always displayed at the top of the Vehicle Information Display and optionally in the main central area of the display screen. See “Vehicle information display” (P.80) for details on how to adapt the display of TSR information.
The speed limit displayed is based on a combination of map data and live camera recognition.
When a change of the speed limit is detected, the system notifies the driver with a speed display icon and a warning chime (once). If the vehicle exceeds the speed limit, the system warns the driver by flashing the speed display icon and issuing a warning chime (four times). The overspeed warning can be cancelled if the driver slows down or pushes the scroll dial on the steering-wheel mounted controls.
WARNING
- The TSR system is only intended to be a support device to provide the driver with information. It is not a replacement for the driver’s attention to traffic conditions or responsibility to drive safely. It cannot prevent accidents due to carelessness. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert and drive safely at all times.
- Any indications and warnings provided by the TSR system will not override the actual speed limit applicable in a particular situation. It is the driver’s responsibility to observe and comply with the speed limits at all times.
System Operation
- The function will be automatically turned ON when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
- If the license of the map data has expired, the map data cannot be used, which means that in some cases the speed limit display cannot be used.

CAUTION
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system is intended as an aid to careful driving. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and observe all road regulations that currently apply, including watching for road signs.
Conditions Where TSR May Not Function Properly
- When the road sign is not clearly visible due to damage or weather conditions.
- When rain, snow, fogging up, or dirt adheres to the windscreen in front of the TSR camera unit.
- When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or improper aiming.
- When strong light enters the camera unit (for example, at sunrise or sunset).
- When a sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, entering or exiting a tunnel or under a bridge).
- When there is poor visibility due to bad weather or insufficient road illumination.
- When traffic signs are damaged or not standard.
- When traffic signs are hard to detect due to dirt, snow, or insufficient lighting.
- When the signs are ambiguous (construction sites, adjacent lanes, exit lanes).
- When there are objects similar to traffic signs.
- When passing traffic signs outside the camera’s field of vision.
- When electronic traffic signs are hard to detect.
- When overtaking buses or trucks with speed stickers.
Additional Notes
- The TSR system may display a traffic sign even though there is no traffic sign in front of the vehicle.
- It may display a different speed limit from that for a passenger vehicle.
- The maximum speed limit sign may show a higher or lower number than the actual maximum speed in some situations.
