Speed Limit Information with
No Passing Information
Principle
Speed Limit Information
The currently detected speed limit is displayed
by Speed Limit Information using a symbol in
the shape of a traffic sign in the instrument
cluster. The camera in the area of the interior
rear-view mirror detects traffic signs at the
edge of the road as well as variable overhead
sign posts. Traffic signs with additional sym‐
bols, for example, when wet, are also com‐
pared with data internal to the vehicle, for ex‐
ample the rain sensor, and displayed,
depending on the situation.
With navigation system, the system considers
the information saved in the navigation data
and also displays the speed limits present on
unmarked sections of road.
Without navigation system, the system has
certain technical limitations. Speed limits with
textual supplementary signs are always shown.
No Passing Information
No Passing Information displays with corre‐
sponding symbols in the instrument cluster no
passing restrictions and their removal detected
by the camera. The system only considers no
passing restrictions and lifting the restriction
made known by signage.
Nothing will be displayed in the following situa‐
tions:
▷ In countries in which no passing is primar‐
ily shown by road markings.
▷ On routes without signage.
▷ On level crossings, carriageway markings
or other situations which would not indi‐
cate an unsigned no passing restriction.
