Speed limit detection
The concept
Speed limit detection
Speed limit detection shows the current maxi‐
mum permitted speed in the instrument clus‐
ter. The camera at the base of the interior rear‐
view mirror detects traffic signs at the edge of
the road as well as variable overhead sign
posts. Traffic signs with extra symbols for wet
road conditions, etc. are also detected and
compared with the vehicle's onboard data,
such as for the rain sensor, and will be dis‐
played depending 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.
Speed limits with extra text characters are al‐
ways displayed.
Information
Speed limits when towing a trailer are not
shown.
WARNING
The system does not relieve from the per‐
sonal responsibility to correctly assess visibility
and traffic situation. There is risk of an accident.
Adjust the driving style to the traffic conditions.

system are incorrect.▷In areas not covered by the navigation sys‐
tem.▷When roads differ from the navigation, such
as due to changes in road routing.▷When passing buses or trucks with a speed
sticker.Seite 84CONTROLSDisplays84
