Description
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
Description
The speed warning system helps to stay below a
specified maximum speed. A warning threshold
can be set in the MMI for this purpose.
Applies to: vehicles with camera-based traffic sign recogni-
tion
Once the speed slightly exceeds the stored
threshold, the speed warning system will provide
an alert using an indicator in the instrument clus-
ter and a warning tone. Once the speed drops be-
low the stored maximum speed, the display will
turn off.
Setting a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you reach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener-
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.
Fig. 95 Instrument cluster: traffic sign recognition
The traffic sign recognition shows the traffic
signs detected by the front camera in the instru-
ment cluster display and in the head-up display*.
Data from the navigation system is also included
in the display. Depending on the equipment, up
to three traffic signs can be displayed in the in-
strument cluster at once. The speed limit that is
currently applicable is displayed in the status bar.
If necessary, it will be hidden if the system de-
tects that turning right is prohibited at a red
light. The display in the head-up display* can be
turned off ðpage 30.
Tips
Regardless of the speed warning system, you
should always monitor your speed using the
speedometer and make sure you are following
the legal speed limit.
