vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could
hit a vehicle on the right. Check the inside mirror or

The speed limit and speed advisory displays on the
DIC are for reference only. There may be segments of
road where speed data has not been captured or times
where incorrect speed data, or no speed data, will be
displayed by the DIC due to the navigation system not
correctly matching the vehicle’s position to the actual
road. Be aware of this and obey posted speed limits
wherever you drive.

warning. You can choose to have no warning display,
or to have it display at the limit, at 5 mph (km/h) over
