Speed limit detection
with No Passing Informa‐
tion
The concept
Speed limit detection
Speed limit detection uses a symbol in the
shape of a traffic sign to display the currently detected speed limit. The camera at the base of
the interior rearview mirror detects traffic signs
at the edge of the road as well as variable over‐
head sign posts. Traffic signs with extra symbols
for wet road conditions, etc. are also detected
and compared with vehicle interior data, such
as for the rain sensor, and are displayed de‐
pending 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.
No Passing Information No Passing Information in the instrument clus‐
ter displays the beginnings and ends of no
passing zones detected by the camera. The sys‐
tem accounts for only the beginnings and ends
of No Passing zones marked by signs.
No display is shown:▷In countries where No Passing zones are
primarily identified with road markings.▷On routes without signage.▷Where there are railroad crossings, highway
markings or other situations where no sig‐
nage is present, but passing would not be
permitted.Hints
Speed limits and no passing zones when towing
a trailer are not shown.
Personal judgment
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver's personal judgment of the traffic
situation.
The system assists the driver and does not re‐
place the human eye. ◀

Without a navigation system the
traffic signals are grayed out af‐
ter curves or longer stretches of
roadway.
With navigation system: speed
limit detection is not available.
Without navigation system:
speed limit detection switched
on, but no speed limit or cancel‐
lation is detected.
Speed limit detection can also be displayed in
the Head-up Display.

System limits The system may not be fully functional and
may provide incorrect information in the fol‐
lowing situations:
▷In heavy fog, rain or snowfall.▷When signs are concealed by objects.▷When driving very close to the vehicle in
front of you.▷When driving toward bright lights.▷When the windshield behind the interior
rearview mirror is fogged over, dirty or cov‐
ered by a sticker, etc.▷In the event of incorrect detection by the
camera.▷If the speed limits stored in the navigation
system are incorrect.▷In areas not covered by the navigation sys‐
tem.▷When roads differ from the navigation, such
as due to changes in the road network.▷When passing buses or trucks with a speed
sticker.▷If the traffic signs are non-conforming.▷During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle shipment.

control
Switch position
: the low beams are
switched on and off automatically, e.g., in tun‐
nels, in twilight or if there is precipitation. The
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights
up.
A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can
cause the lights to be switched on.
The low beams always stay on when the fog
lamps are switched on.
Personal responsibility
The automatic headlamp control cannot
serve as a substitute for your personal judg‐
ment in determining when the lamps should be
switched on in response to ambient lighting
conditions.
For example, the sensors are unable to detect
fog or hazy weather. To avoid safety risks, you
should always switch on the lamps manually
under these conditions. ◀
