Road sign sym- Explanation
bol's color
Green/yellow ASL is active
Gray ASL is in standby mode
Amber/orange ASL is temporarily in
standby mode (e.g., because
a speed limit sign could not
be read)
Limitations
Adjusting a set speed is done first when the vehi-
cle passes a speed limit sign. If a speed limit sign
cannot be read (e.g., because it is twisted, dam-
aged, faded, dirty, covered by snow, etc.) ASL will
go into standby mode because the system will
not have "seen" the speed posted on the sign
(SL will activate). The driver will have to react and
adapt the vehicle's speed. ASL will reactivate
when the vehicle passes a speed limit sign that
the system can read.
