Speed Limit Assist camera
:
G Risk of accident
Speed Limit Assist is only an aid and may
detect speed limit signs incorrectly or not at
all.
The system may be impaired or may not func-
tion if:
there is poor visibility, e.g. due to snow,
R
rain, fog or spray.
there is glare, e.g. from the sun or from
R
oncoming traffic.
the windscreen is dirty, misted up or cov-
R
ered, for instance by a sticker, in the vicinity
of the camera.
the traffic signs are covered, for instance
R
by dirt, snow or trees.
the traffic signs are poorly illuminated.
R
there are ambiguous traffic signs, for
R
instance near roadworks or on multi-lane
roads.
Traffic signs always have priority over the
Speed Limit Assist display. Speed Limit Assist
cannot detect road and traffic conditions. It is
not a substitute for attentive driving.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions and
your surroundings. Otherwise, you may fail to
recognise dangers in time, cause an accident
and injure yourself and others.
