limit or the end of a speed limit is detected,
it is shown in the multifunction display. If
Speed Limit Assist does notdetectany traffic
signs, the speed limit from the digital road
map is used and shown in the display.
Speed Limit Assist detects the traffic signs
with a camera attached behind the top of the
windshield.
Speed Limit Assist camera
Important safety notes
Speed Limit Assist is only an aid and does not
always detect traffic signs with information
aboutthe maximum permissible speed.
Traffic signs always have priority over the
Speed Limit Assist display.
The system may be impaired or may not
function if:
Rthere is poor visibility, e.g. due to snow,
rain, fog or spray
Rthere is glare, e.g. from the sun or from
oncoming traffic
Rthe windshield is dirty, fogged up or
covered, for instance by a sticker, in the
vicinity of the camera
Rthe traffic signs are covered, for instance
by dirt, snow or trees
Rthe traffic signs are poorly illuminated
