The system can warn you if you unintentionally
exceed the maximum permissible speed. To do

how much the maximum permissible speed can
be exceeded before a warning is issued. You can
set the warning to visual only (the traffic sign
flashes three times in the driver's display) or vis-
ual and acoustic, including a warning tone.
