Speed Limit Assist detects speed limits with multifunction camera and displays them in the instrument cluster and optionally in the head-up display. The camera also detects speed limits with a restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g. when wet) as well as stop signs.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers More.
The system can warn you if you unintentionally exceed the maximum permissible speed. To do this, you can specify in the multimedia system by how much the maximum permissible speed can be exceeded before a warning is issued. You can specify whether the warning is to be just a visual warning or an acoustic one as well.
The illustrations show the Instrument Display in the widescreen cockpit.
If Speed Limit Assist cannot determine the current maximum permissible speed (e.g. due to missing signs), the following display appears in the Instrument Display:
This is displayed continuously if the vehicle is in a country where Speed Limit Assist is not supported. Speed Limit Assist is not available in all countries.
If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, if there are highly variable shade conditions or in rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections.
If the windscreen in the area of the multifunction camera is dirty, or if the camera is misted up, damaged or covered.
If the traffic signs are hard to detect, e.g. due to dirt or snow, because they are covered, or due to insufficient lighting.
If you turn sharply when passing traffic signs outside the camera's field of vision.
