Info
Concept Speed Limit Info shows the current maximum
permitted speed in the instrument cluster.
General
information The camera at the base of the interior mirrordetects traffic signs at the edge of the road aswell as variable overhead sign posts. Traffic
signs with extra symbols for wet road condi~
tions, etc., are also detected and compared with the vehicle's onboard data, such as fromthe rain sensor, and will be displayed depend~ing on the situation.
With the navigation system, the system takes into account the information stored in the navi~
gation data and also displays speed limits
present on routes without signs.
Without a navigation system, the system is sub~
ject to limitations imposed by technology. Traf~
fic signs with speed limitations are detected
and displayed only. Speed limitations due to
entering or exiting towns, highway signs, etc.
are not displayed. Speed limits with extra text
characters are always displayed.

sonal responsibility to assess visibility and traffic situation. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust
