OVERSPEED ALERT (1/3)
The overspeed alert with signage panel
recognition notifies the driver that they
are exceeding the speed limit for the
section of road on which they are cur-
rently travelling.Special situations
– If the vehicle is travelling in a coun-
try where the speed units differ from
those of the vehicle, the system dis-
plays the speed limit sign in the unit
of the country, alongside the speed
limit converted to the unit used by the
vehicle’s instrument panel.
– For countries where the speed limit is reduced during rainy weather on
some types of roads, the system can
modify the limited speed after a few
seconds of wiping the windscreen.
– The system does not take into ac- count exceptional speed limit meas-
ures, such as peak pollution days.
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.
1Operating principle
The system detects speed limit signs
on the side of the road and displays the
speed limit.
It mainly uses information taken from
the camera 1 , attached to the wind-
screen behind the rear-view mirror.
Note: Make sure the windscreen is not
obstructed (dirt, ice, snow, etc.).
For vehicles which are equipped with it,
the system also uses information from
the navigation system.
Once the speed limiter is activated, you
can adjust the speed limiter indication
displayed by the system.
In the event of exceeding the speed
limit, the sign display is modified (the
characters change to red or the circle
around the sign flashes) no notify you.

OVERSPEED ALERT (3/3)
This function is an additional driving aid. However, this function is not
under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention
of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, re-
gardless of the system indications.
The system enables maximum speed signs to be detected and does not detec\
t
other traffic signage.
The driver should not, however, ignore signs which are not detected by the system
and should as a priority comply with the traffic signage and the highway code.
In the event of poor visibility (fog, snow, frost, etc.), it is possible that the system
may not indicate the correct speed to the driver.
The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of
the system indications.Operating fault
The system cannot detect the speed
limit if:
– the windscreen is not clean;
– the camera is blinded by the sun;
– there is insufficient visibility (night, fog, etc.);
– the signs are not legible (snow, etc.) or are hidden (by another vehicle or
by trees);
– the information taken from the navi- gation system is not up to date.
