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.
– If the traffic signs or the roadways have
changed, and the navigation data is no longer
up-to-date
WARNING
– Observe the safety precautions and note the
limitations of the assist systems, sensors,
and cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.
– 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.
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.
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.
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.
