Speed Limit Info
Principle
Speed Limit Info shows the currently detected
speed limit in the instrument cluster and, if appli‐
cable, valid additional signs, for example wet con‐
ditions.
General
The camera in the area of the interior rearview
mirror detects traffic signs at the edge of the
road as well as variable overhead signs.
Road signs with additional instructions, for exam‐
ple restrictions applicable in wet weather, are
taken into account and correlated with informa‐
tion in the vehicle, such as the rain sensor. The
road sign and corresponding additional signs are
then displayed in the instrument cluster or ig‐
nored, depending on the situation. Some The
additional instructions are taken into account in
the evaluation of the speed limit, but are not dis‐
played in the instrument cluster.
The system considers the information saved in
the navigation system and also displays the
speed limits present on unmarked sections of
road.
Speed limits for towing a trailer are not shown.
Overtaking restriction display
Principle
Overtaking restriction signs and end of restriction
signs that are detected by the camera are indica‐
ted by corresponding symbols in the instrument
cluster.
