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.

played.

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, or property damage. Adjust driv-  
ing style to traffic conditions. Watch the sur-  
rounding traffic situation closely, be ready to  
take over steering and braking at any time,  
and actively intervene where appropriate.
