Vehicle features and options Speed Limit Info
This chapter describes model-specific equip-
ment, systems, and functions that are currently
Speed Limit Info
available, or may become available in the fu-
ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.
Principle
Speed Limit Info shows the currently valid
speed limit in the instrument cluster and, if
necessary, the Head-up display.
Additional information:
Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.
General information
The camera in the area of the interior mirror
detects traffic signs at the edge of the road as
well as overhead sign posts.
Speed warning
Principle
The speed warning can be used to set a speed
limit. A warning will be issued when this speed
limit is exceeded.
Traffic signs with extra icons are considered
and compared with the vehicle's onboard data.
The traffic sign will then be either displayed
or ignored depending on the situation in the
instrument cluster and the Head-up display.
General information
The system may also show speed limits that
apply to routes that are not signposted if the
navigation system has current map data.
Another speed warning is given when the set
speed limit is exceeded again after it has drop-
ped by 3 mph/5 km/h.
For Speed Limit Info to function correctly, cur-
rent map data for the country in which the ve-
hicle is operated must be downloaded.
Settings
The Speed Limit Warning can be activated or
deactivated. In addition, the speed limit for the
warning can be configured.
For information on the current map version
and map updates, see Map update in the Nav-
igation system chapter.

Apps menu
Without map data, the system is subject to
certain technical limitations. Traffic signs with
speed limitations are detected and displayed
only. Speed limits due to entering towns/cities,
highway signs, etc., are not displayed. Speed
limits with extra traffic signs are always dis-
played.

CONTROLS
In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured
against rolling away, follow the following:
General information
The system maintains the set speed on clear
roads. The vehicle accelerates or brakes auto-
matically.
▷
▷
Set the parking brake.
Automatic transmission: Make sure that
selector lever position P is engaged.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the set
distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained.
The speed is adjusted as far as the given sit-
uation allows.
▷
▷
On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
turn the front wheels in the direction of
the curb.
On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
also secure the vehicle, for instance with
a wheel chock.
The distance can be adjusted at several levels.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a stand-
still and then drives off again within a brief pe-
riod, the system is able to detect this within the
given system limits.
Warning
The set speed can be incorrectly adjusted or
called up by mistake. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust the
set speed to the traffic conditions. Watch sur-
rounding traffic closely and actively intervene
where appropriate
Otherwise, drive off independently such as by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by press-
ing the button for the speed setting on the
steering wheel.
Safety information
Warning
Risk of accident is greater when there is a
high speed differential to other vehicles, for
instance in the following situations:

CONTROLS
Merging vehicles
When you approach a curve the system may
briefly report vehicles in the next lane due
to the bend of the curve. If the system decel-
erates you may compensate for it by briefly
accelerating. After releasing the accelerator
pedal the system is reactivated and controls
speed independently.
If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly
merges into your lane, the system may not be
able to automatically restore the selected dis-
tance. It may not be possible to restore the se-
lected distance in certain situations, including if
you are driving significantly faster than vehicles
driving ahead of you, for instance when rapidly
approaching a truck. When a vehicle driving
ahead of you is reliably detected, the system
requests that the driver intervene by braking
and making an evasive maneuver, if needed.
Driving off
In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive off
automatically; for example:
▷
▷
On steep uphill grades.
In front of bumps in the road.
Cornering
In these cases, step on the accelerator pedal.
Weather
The following restrictions can occur under un-
favorable weather or light conditions:
▷
▷
Poorer vehicle detection.
Short-term interruptions for vehicles that
are already recognized.
Drive attentively, and react to the current sur-
rounding traffic situation. If necessary, inter-
vene actively, for instance by braking, steering
or making an evasive maneuver.
When the set speed is too high for a curve,
the speed is reduced slightly. Because curves
may not be anticipated in advance, drive into a
curve at an appropriate speed.
Drive power
The set speed is also maintained downhill. The
speed may not be maintained on uphill grades
if the drive power is insufficient.
The system has a limited detection range. Sit-
uations can arise in tight curves where a vehi-
cle driving ahead will not be detected or will be
detected very late.
Depending on the driving mode, the vehicle
may exceed or drop below the set desired
speed in some situations; for instance, on
downhill or uphill grades.
