Automatic speed limiter*

The Automatic Speed Limiter function
(Automatic Speed Limiter — ASL) sets the car's
maximum speed to conform to that indicated by
road signs.
The Speed Limiter function (Speed Limiter —
SL) can be changed to Automatic Speed Limiter.
The Automatic speed limiter scans roadside
speed-related signs and adjusts the car's maxi-
mum speed to conform to that indicated by the
signs. It is very similar to the Road Sign Informa-
tion function (Road Sign Information — RSI).
WARNING
Even if the driver can clearly see the speed-
related traffic sign, the camera's readings may
be inaccurate because the sign may be incor-
rectly angled, positioned, dirty or too high - in
such cases the driver must intervene and
accelerate or brake to the appropriate speed.
Is SL or ASL active?
