Speed limit detection
The concept
Speed limit detection
Speed limit detection shows the current maxi‐
mum permitted speed in the instrument clus‐
ter. The camera at the base of the interior mir‐
ror detects traffic signs at the edge of the road
as well as variable overhead sign posts. Traffic
signs with extra symbols for wet road condi‐
tions, etc. are also detected and compared with
the vehicle's onboard data, such as for the rain
sensor, and will be displayed depending on the
situation.
With the navigation system, the system takes
into account the information stored in the navi‐
gation data and also displays speed limits pres‐
ent on routes without signs.
Without a navigation system, the system is sub‐
ject to limitations imposed by technology. Traf‐
fic signs with speed limitations are detected
and displayed only. Speed limitations due to
entering or exiting towns, highway signs, etc.
are not displayed. Speed limits with extra text
characters are always displayed.
Information
Speed limits when towing a trailer are not
shown.
