Setting a traffic sign based speed warning

your preferences in the Driver assistance menu
ðpage 131. The settings depend on the vehicle
equipment.

– If traffic signs are damaged or bent
– If traffic signs are displayed on sign holders

Possible settings:
Traffic sign based speed warning
– If the traffic signs or the roadways have
changed, and the navigation data is no longer
up-to-date
You can turn visual and audio speed warnings on
or off. The setting that was last used will be used
again after restarting the vehicle.
WARNING
Traffic sign-based warning threshold – you can
select a warning threshold. If you exceed this,
then the current detected speed limit will be
shown in the display with an exclamation point
for the duration that it is exceeded and it will
blink for a short time. Additionally, a warning
tone will sound for a short time. The setting will
be saved when restarting.
– Observe the safety precautions and note the
limitations of the assist systems, sensors,
and cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.
– Under some circumstances, traffic sign rec-
ognition may not detect traffic signs correct-
ly or detect them at all. As a result, the sys-
tem may not display the correct speed limit
or any speed limit.
Warning tone when exceeding the speed limit –
you can turn the audio warning tone for exceed-
ing the speed limit on or off. The setting that was
last used will be used again after restarting the
vehicle.
Tips
– Traffic sign recognition only informs and
warns about speed limits. Depending on the
vehicle equipment, additional driver assis-
tance systems can adjust the vehicle speed.
– The display in the instrument cluster is
based on the units of measurement used for
speed in the country where the vehicle is be-
ing operated. As a result, a display of 50 in
the instrument cluster can mean either mph
or km/h, depending on the country.
Speed limit change notification tone – you can
turn the audio notification tone for speed limit
changes on or off. The setting that was last used
will be used again after restarting the vehicle.
Deactivate when using cruise control – you can
turn the visual and audio warnings during active
cruise control on or off. Restarting the vehicle
will reset the setting to the default setting.
