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.

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.
