Function of Active Speed Limit Assist
If a change in the speed limit of 12 mph
(20 km/h) or more is detected and automatic
®
inter-
adoption of speed limits is activated, the new
speed limit is automatically adopted as the stored
speed (
page 241).
/
The driven speed is adjusted when the vehicle is
level with the traffic sign at the latest. In the case
1
up
of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the
speed is adapted according to the speed permit-
ted within the urban area. The speed limit display
1
up
in the Instrument Display is always updated when
the vehicle is level with the traffic sign.
If there is no speed restriction on an unlimited
stretch of road (e.g. on a freeway), the recom-
mended speed is automatically adopted as the
stored speed. The system uses the speed stored
1
up M.
on an unlimited stretch of road as the recommen-
ded speed. If you do not alter the stored speed on
an unlimited stretch of road, the recommended
speed is 80 mph (130 km/h).
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
into passive mode by pressing the accelerator
pedal, only speed limits that are higher than the
set speed are adopted.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize
dangers (
