▌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
adoption of speed limits is activated, the new
speed limit is automatically adopted as the stored
speed ( page 218).
/
The vehicle's speed is adjusted when it is level
with the traffic sign at the latest. In the case 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
on the driver's 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 highway), the recom-
mended speed is automatically adopted as the
stored speed. The system uses the speed stored
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
®
inter-
into passive mode by pressing the accelerator
pedal, only speed limits which are higher than the
set speed are adopted.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize
dangers ( page 186).

System limits
The system limits of Traffic Sign Assist apply to
the detection of traffic signs (
Speed limits below 12 mph (20 km/h) are not
automatically adopted by the system as the stored
speed. Temporary speed restrictions (e.g. for a
certain time or due to weather conditions) cannot
be properly detected by the system. The maxi-
mum permissible speed applying to a vehicle with
a trailer is not detected by the system.
Adjust the speed in these situations.
