highway signs, etc., are not displayed. Speed
limits with extra traffic signs are always dis-
played.
Depending on the national-
market version, it is possible
to switch between the units of
measurement.

available.

Warning signals
Depending on the settings, an acoustic signal
sounds if the detected speed limit is exceeded
or the speed limit changes. The display also
flashes if the detected speed limit is exceeded.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react to
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the
surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready
to take over steering and braking at any time,
and actively intervene where appropriate.
Settings
Individual settings can be configured for Speed
Limit Info, e.g., warnings issued if the speed is
exceeded or the permissible maximum speed
changes.
